Going back to the credit card approval process mentioned in a previous post,

" Every 79 seconds, a thief steals someone's identity, opens accounts in the victim's name and goes on a buying spree."

-CBSnews.com, 1/25/2001

Oh yeah the credit card thing works out real well.

Cynthia Tucker tells the unorthodox truth, and then covers herself with her Liberal Democratic friends by repeatedly smearing Congressman Tom Tancredo. These are the compromises you must make to remain an MSM wh-re with an urge to tell the truth

It's super easy, just call them "contractors".

Well, that's not "big business," is it?

Gee it would be so expensive and impossible to tell the difference between someome from Oaxaca and someone from Kansas City.

It is harder then you think.

Cynthia's right about big business, but Tom Tancredo's anything but a minor league congressman.

Amazing, isn't it? Imagine if there was no process, whatsoever, to confirm whether a given transaction was valid or not. Then what kind of mess would there be? And how does this support the current situation? It doesn't.

THANK YOU! Just one tiny example: Here in Georgia, supposedly a great leader in state efforts to crack down on the problem, illegal immigrants are building our state highways and other massive state projects. How is that possible? Answer: Contractors.

"Big business" keeps things at arms length via temp agencies, in my understanding.

Of course it is, the big companies pay the money. The "contractors" are a complete sham.

I think everyone can see that is a transparent dodge, I'm sure you can too!

The feds had a problem with Puerto Ricans, among others, scamming Social Security and disability. They'd rent P.O. boxes in various towns and have monthly entitlement checks sent to five or six or dozen...all with phony documents. (That went on for years.)

Bingo! Temp agencies (the woman in the office or on the phone is Hispanic, speaks English with a heavy accent), tell ordinary American citizens: 'you're overqualified, we have no jobs. Go away. Don't call us. We'll call you.'

And how does this support the current situation?

The CC companies aren't being threatened with jail for being scammed. And it happens on a regular basis.

But if I hire someone with fraudulent papers well then "off with my head"!

If that is what I am being threatened with that then I want a system that works a little bit better then the CC system.

I can follow all the rules but there are still holes. And if we ever go to the "Fair Tax" system then the tiny net I have is going to be gone.

Congress could also appropriate money for a nationwide computer system that would allow all employers to get instant verification of a worker's Social Security number and then require all employers to use it.

How is this so "onerous" that it will end summer jobs for teens?

Have you not heard of identity theft?

An employer in Dallas wrote in a letter to the editor to the Dallas Morning News that he can check SS numbers now. He got suspicious when he saw the same faces appearing, every day, with different SS numbers.

All the numbers were valid.

Peace be with the contractors and their hundreds of illegal alien employees who I've seen working at at least four major US corporation campuses, plus many more I haven't seen.

Overnight Republicans hate business and farmers more than the Rats do. This has become an amazing transformation to a Party that has always been for capitalism and now only cares about rounding up and deporting cheap labor. FR is now in total agreement with an avowed Marxist over this issue. Unbelievable.

Sorry, cheap labor is a necessity to our economy.

And the federal government are the ones who supply the documents in the first place.
