Most SSN used by illegals are those of family members. You may be surprised how many babies and 8 year olds are doing construction. When not family members, it is often a rented SSN of a friend who is out of work (housewife, unemployment comp, etc).
The pattern differs for skilled workers (eg IT). Satyam style consulting firms will assign the same SSN to many different consultants. So a consultant at Allstate, Sears, BMO, State Farm, Caterpillar might each be using the same SSN. Rarely will you find an unskilled temp agency doing that.
“You may be surprised how many babies and 8 year olds are doing construction.”
Absolutely correct.
Anchor babies are eligible for food stamps. The food stamp regulations require each child to obtain a social security card. Easy peasy— then the illegal adults use their children’s social security cards to take an American job, while their kids feed the household of adult illegals, so they get to keep even more cash in their pockets.
Do you think the food stamp people check the child’s ss# to see if unreported income is linked to it which might render that “child” ineligible for food stamps?
Of course not. They’re children. Why would they be working?!
See how that works?
The illegals know all the tricks, and they laugh at what suckers we are—while they write home to tell all their relatives “Come on over!”
Social security cards should have 2 dates printed on their face: Year of applicant’s birth, and year card was obtained.
And E-verify should be required of all employers.
