Security begins AT THE BORDER! If they can’t get in....all else is moot!
New modus operandi ping...
The renter then moves on to another city or another neighborhood so there is seldom any conflict between the two identities.
It's absurd to think that many people are going to rent out documents and keep moving around for a few hundred dollars.
If employers do a decent job attempting to verify that the documents match the bearer, and the SSA reports duplicate usage of SSNs, this becomes very difficult to do on more than a very small scale.
This isn't the huge hurdle that they are making it out to be. They just appear to be trying to make the argument that since this won't work, having secure IDs isn't worth doing.
There will always be a few people that find a way around any system, but just because a system can't catch 100% of offenders doesn't mean it's not effective.
Vexation Ping!

Oh, OK we will just give up then.
This widespread identity fraud means that a 'national security' identification card will be issued to every American soon, probably with our fingerprints or eye-scan on the card. It will be billed as the "only way" to stop the illegals' identity scams. I frankly believe that this is why Washington actually wants millions of illegals in our country, it creates an apparent 'necessity' for such a national ID card. Of course, a national ID card also gives the government more control over citizens, which is something that every government has been wont to do since Oooga, Booga, Umah and Duumass formed the very first human government. -
Anyway, we all know that a fence, a vigorously enforced fence, is the real answer to the illegal problem. But can we force those in Washington who seem to represent Mexico and South America more than US citizens to do this?
PHOTO Identification - IT WORKS.
At least is seems to when the local bar knows that the police are keeping an eye on them regarding serving underage patrons.
Officials tell 1200 WOAI news that for between $200 and $800, an illegal immigrant can easily rent the legal documents of a legal U.S. resident.
THE TRUTH--->>>
This is a racket for illegal immigrants and legal immigrants. The legal immigrant is being paid for renting out his ID. Yet another case where low life legal immigrants (probably poor, uneducated, not English speaking) enable the illegals and make some extra cash too
This scam has been going on for more than a generation. The fact it takes so long for it to surface shows that the government isn’t all that interested in finding a solution.
Combine some biometrics with a tamperproof card and then you avoid this problem.
Encode a retina scan check on the card, if a scan of the card holder doesn’t match the encoded scan on the card - deny entry.
It just ain’t that difficult. If an employer knowingly hires an illegal then he pays a $50,000 fine for each illegal. If an employee is caught with illegal documents then he goes to the pen for 5 years and is then deported. NO EXCEPTIONS, NO PROBATIONS, NO APPEALS.

Si`.....with a tan.
No but the SSA knows, and refuses to do anything about it. I guess they are willing to accept any form of income into the social welfare system.
And because so many people are worried about misuse of personal data by the federal government, the federal government will not tell you if someone else is using your SSN. They won't tell you because telling you would violate your privacy rights that you wanted!
Every technological “solution” is defeatable. What about just deporting people who: 1)are very brown and 2) speak Spanish.
There they go again! Most of the "companies" don't want to know. When an imposter asks for $3 an hour instead of $20 and doesn't speak fairly good English, the employer knows what gives. Will they call ICE? Nope.
With the SS data bases, the IRS can catch them immediately when they get tax withholdings, on the same SS number, from two or more places far apart on the map!
Those people who are peddling excuses should be fired and replaced by people who can do the job.
Stop the f****** excuses and build the damn wall!
Again. This would be a lot less of a problem if we secured the bloody borders and kept them out in the first place.
This is nothing new of course. IMO, it is also being presented in an effort to convince us that we may as well give up because we can’t catch these people.
Well, we can’t catch all of them, but when we do we need to come down very hard. Deterrent is a principle that just seems to elude libs and government bureaucrats.
Beside, there are other ways to deter these people. Like making this country a lot less hospitable to illegals. English only in workplaces would be a good start. No more bilingual crap on the phone (press one...) and quit printing labels for every damn product I buy in spanish and english, with the SPANISH taking up MORE OF THE LABEL than english!
Quit giving free schooling to the children of illegals. Quit letting them into our state colleges. Forget this crapolla about what tuition to charge. Don’t let them in period.
When is the government going to figure out it’s not their country - it’s OURS.
