Here's one you can laugh & cry about.
How right you are. You know, I don't think we've really touched on this aspect of illegal immigration before. I know, there have been discussions about SS#s and rarely about what happens when the duplications are discovered, but...
Identity Theft is touted today as one the most prevalent and financially destructive crimes going. What percent of this crime can be traced back to illegal immigration?
More of the unintended consequences our President doesn't seem to understand.

See the link in # 18 re: the 'Workplace Verification Bill'.
This was passed as a voluntary program for employers to use, & I believe it still is.
Had our *lawmakers* made this *mandatory it would be very easy to catch & FINE many illegal employers....& also curb much Identity Theft.
I know for a fact it is prevelant.
At work, we were doing pre-employment testing for a local warehouse company. One non english speaking fellow, handed me his "social security" card along with his "photo ID".
His photo ID was questional at best, saying he was in his 40's (the kid looked barely a day over 20...wished I knew his secret.../sarcasm)
and his Social # (first 3 digits) noted he was born in Michigan.
I am seriously considering changing my career to investigate identity fraud. It's so blatant around here, it's sickening.
