I always assumed that the workers became legal and got valid SSNs and the SSA was able to purge the phony (unmatched to master files) SSNs.

That's very interesting. I have never been clear on how the government is able to accept money on what are clearly phony SS accounts. Although I suppose the government will take money that comes to it from any source, no questions asked.

To be fair to the SSA they do not like to just purge the ESF. What likely happened is the W-2 data were transferred to the valid SSNs then purged.

The ESF is so large now that there have been Congressional hearings on the matter and SSA has hired beltway bandits to help them solve the problem.

Some question my interpretation of what's in the ESF but I remain convinced that here indeed are the employers who hire (knowingly or unknowingly) ILLEGAL immigrants by the millions.

We don't need shiny new laws to invite them to come forth. Efforts to date such as employer "no match" letters have been met with a storm of protests from the immigrant "rights" industry and sundry vested interests. If government has no will to enforce laws a shiny new law will just be a joke.

The "guest worker" plan will in effect legalize the current situation after adding a few bells and whistles and most importantly give the government something to wave in the faces of anti-ILLEGAL immigrant folks (citizens) and tell them to shut up and sit down. IMO.
