"All they would have to do is tell their employers that they will be fined if they don't come up with valid numbers. The illegals would lose their jobs, and many of them would leave on their own."


isnt that already the law. I remember back in 1987 having my job acceptance held up beause of some Federal regualtion when I couldn't find my social security card.

My understanding is that the IRS is not allowed to communicate with neither the S.S.A. nor Immigration agencies. Heck, the IRS is the agency issuing ITINs to illegal aliens. They only care about taxes due, not where/how you managed to get your hands on the money.

(ITIN = Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. They are issued to those not entitled to an S.S.# and no proof of ID is required to obtain one.)

You would think that would be the case, but all they do now is divert the SS payments to a suspense fund, rather than crediting them to the real owner of the SSN.
