Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Thursday about his new legislation that would prevent illegal immigrants from using Americans’ Social Security numbers, protect citizens’ privacy, and deter illegal immigration. On Wednesday, Rep. Carter introduced H.R. 6333, Tax Identity Protection Act, which would direct the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to help protect Americans from illegal immigrants from fraudulently using their Social Security numbers.
In his press release this week, the Georgia Republican said that he contacted the IRS and the agency told him that they were not “in the position to notify victims” that their Social Security numbers were used fraudulently. The IRS “blamed it on a computer system.”

Fantastic!!! Now on to kill the Bill Clinton motor voter law. Per recent ad reports shown on OAN, there is currently a voter registration roster in Los Angles County of 140% above the number of legal age voters in the county. Ever wonder why California is a democrat cesspool?
Makes perfect sense. Hispanics are the primary victims.

I recently applied to start Medicare only to discover that my Medicare account was already being used. You have no idea how much of problem this was.
I hope that the punishment for using someone the SS # of someone other than yourself is death.
This won’t stop just because the pass a new law. The old law already says that it is illegal. Stopping people from using someone’s SS# will only be effective if it is enforced and the punishment is severe.
If he is using your name and SS number it is Identity theft, but Mexicans never steal a white man's identity because they are trying to get a name and id to pass the federal employee verification system.
Identity theft for the purpose of employment usually happens in the employers business. The people who make the fake ids bribes a clerk working in a packing plant who has access to all the employee files and can see which names have passed muster
Or- we allow ‘em to use any SS#’s they want, but then have to provide incontrovertible proof of ID to collect. If some illegal wants to contribute to my SS for the next 15 years (and if he/she’s paying in then that’s income for the US) fine, but no refunds, medicare or SS payments to anyone other than me.
Identity theft is a victimless crime to the globalists. Let the person with the compromised identity pay those debts. That’s what it means to be privileged.
Pretty much. Let’s be honest: Jeb! didn’t have a ghost of a chance of winning. His job, for over $100 million dollars, was to split the votes and hand the Presidency to their good buddy Hillary Clinton.
Jeb! was never a serious contender. But he threw as much trash as he could. Even at Christmas the year before. I yelled at the TV when Jeb! said something stupid about Donald Trump.
(not that yelling at the TV works, mind you, LOL)
Jeb! is scum and fully supported by W and Daddy for being so. /rant
(no offense to scum, mind you)
I dunno. . .if the illegal filed for SS benefits using your SSN, then it would not.
I am an Enrolled Agent. We handle several cases of identity theft every tax season in the office where I work.
I have also worked IRS letters in the off-season the last 5 years. Illegals that use someone else’s SSN are usually self-employed contractors (1099-MISC Box 7). The illegal gets paid for their work but they never file their taxes. The 1099-MISC is under another person’s SSN so the income cannot be traced back to the illegal.
About 12-18 months after the person that belongs to this SSN files their return, the IRS computer system runs a match between the return and the documents for that SSN. The IRS computer will find this missing 1099-MISC and create a CP2000 mismatch letter with a big balance due for taxes, self-employment tax, interest, and possibly penalties.
An e-filed rejects for duplicate SSN for primary, spouse, or dependent SSN. Duplicate SSN is not always identity theft.
Sometimes a dependent files a return and mistakenly claims their own exemption before the parent files and claims the same exemption.
Divorced/separated/unwed parents who are feuding sometimes rush to file their return and claim the dependent out of spite even if they do not have the right to claim the dependent.
When it is identity theft, the return has to be mailed in with the Identity Theft Affidavit form 14039 attached. It can take the IRS more than 6 months to process the return. For the next several years, the IRS will probably issue the taxpayer an IP PIN that must be included on their return. If an IP PIN is issued, any return e-filed without the IP PIN automatically rejects.
Few years back a woman in the NW was getting debt collection calls from CA.
Turns out somebody was using her name and SSN down there racking up debt, not paying and moving around.
She went to SS for help but they basically said they didn’t give out information relating to people and their SSN’s.
She was like “WHAT! It’s my number.”
Different name.
not exactly? ok thanks....
but pretty similar, nonetheless, imho.
(it helped him ‘pass’ as an American....but Yes, he probably couldn’t have used it to steal money from the dead guy whose number it was, ha!)
If somebody works on my social security number won’t that increase my benefits When I retire?
They will be retired collecting on your account and you won’t get anything.
[Identity theft is a victimless crime to the globalists. Let the person with the compromised identity pay those debts.]
You are correct. In a slightly different way, which I won’t explain completely so no private info given out, I am a victim of this. It was not blatant identity theft but it had essentially the same results. Which are ongoing.
Now, if I may tinfoil for a moment. I will say identity theft fits quite nicely for the globalists / the New World Order.
Eventually, you’re going to need some identification to prove you are you in order to buy or sell. Perhaps something with 999 on your forehead or your right hand. A tattoo, a (Greek) “charagma”. After all, tattoos are very popular, what’s one more? After all, the new political leader MUST be the “messiah” - he confirmed the 7-year peace covenant that divides Israel. See? Peace between the Jew and Arab. What could possibly go wrong?
Gee whiz, maybe if this bill had been enacted before 2008, we mighta not had to go through 8 years of Obuma.
Yep, Yeb was supposed to be a spoiler, a trash man, whose task was to derail the Trump Train. Thankfully, he was so inept he was never a factor.
I doubt Jeb! will ever get elected to anything, ever again.
Perhaps Board President of Del Boca Vista Phase III.
