Many of these illegals are risk-averse. They often hate having their pictures taken--case in point, someone having some work done on his house wanted pictures of "work in progress", and the workers hurriedly moved away when they saw the camera.

It would take some boldness, indeed, to display a fake SS card to get guv benefits, rather than the wink-wink relationship the illegals have with crooked employers who seek out illegals in the first place.

It's one more layer, one more obstacle they have to overcome, one more page on the paper trail--and then you've got 'em for fraud if they do get caught.

UCLA just got hacked into. Made off with almost a million SS#'s of present and former students. There's all kinds of ID problems out there.

Sounds like you're ready to give up before it's even tried.

I'm not sure why you call me defeatist when I merely point out why the proposed solution will solve nothing.

If I found out you were taking sugar pills for cancer, I'd point out that sugar pills do not cure cancer. Would that mean I'm ready to give up the fight against cancer?

FYI. They have plenty of boldness. They do it all the time here in California.
