Ironic, is it not?
Cretive way to establish a new identity. You could be several different illegals and get goodies under each name. Watch a few Mexican movies to get the accent in shape. My favorite in "Pedro" in Napoleon Dynamite. "Mah name ees Paydro and I am running for preseedent."
"You know, I actually believe I could have greater freedom by going down to Mexico, sneaking back across the border with a new name, be an 'illegal' for a while, and get free stuff and all the benefits I suposedly have from being an American citizen.
Ironic, is it not?"
You're too late, people have been doing this for years - without having to cross the border. Rack up debt on a new car, 20" rims, latest cell phone (and use it 24/7), plasma, gold jewelry, Cristal at the strip club, buy the latest fashions...then go to East Oakland or San Jose or SF and buy a social security number and start all over again. I was told exactly where to go and who to ask for, and that's just one place - and they sell to EVERYONE, not just immigrants...unless you're white. Then, no sale. Period. And if you show up, your life is in danger.
Identity theft is not just an illegal immigrant crime. You may someday be financing a pretty spliff lifestyle for someone in the projects...
