More than 5 years ago, the Pew Foundation did a study and estimated that at that time there were between 50 and 75 million illegals in the U.S.

Obama used the SSN of someone from Maine or NH that would have been well over 100... he was said to have used over 30 ssn’s in the past.

Gee, I wonder how many times mine has been used. How do you even tell?

I found out when I was pulled over for a ticket ... someone with my ssn (but wrong name and race) had been arrested recently...

“I’m hoping I at least get some of the money they paid into social security when I retire.”

See Fleming v Nestor.

They don’t “owe” you squat.

Too bad for you if they use your Social Security number:

When illegals use pilfered Social Security numbers

The Washington Times

By Jan C. Ting - - Wednesday, May 23, 2018

In 2013, the Social Security Administration’s Office of the Chief Actuary estimated that more than 40 percent of all illegal aliens working in the U.S. were doing so using fake or stolen SSNs. Elsewhere, the office has put the figure as high as 75 percent. And the crime is as serious as it is widespread. By getting tied to bad credit or unreported income out of the blue, the victim can become falsely frozen out of his Social Security benefits or face audits from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The impact takes years and thousands of dollars, on average, for the victim to reconcile.

Fraudulently documented foreigners are not immigrants.

Amen! I call 'em CRIMINAL aliens. Soon as they set foot on US soil, they are a criminal.

Democrats do NOT want a simple fix for the problem.

Credit Cards use large numbers,
1234 5678 1244 5678,
which is 1,000,000,000,000,000 possibilities.

Social InSecurity cards use,
123 12 1234,
only a few insecure 100,000,000 possibilities.

Social Security ID theft could be cured by next year.

President Trump, are you listening?

Odd. 20 years ago—when I was travelling around the country weekly I estimated over 30 to 40 million illegals. It was extrapolation—number of estimated likely illegals as an estimated percent of population I viewed each day. Over a hundred days or so in the year I watched—and 30 plus million was my estimate—and I did not hide my conclusion.

The IRS will eventually contact you about delinquent taxes, they want THEIR MONEY.
They came after me for something like 80,000 dollars they said I owed them.
Apparently I worked in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, and West Virginia.
All in a 3 year period.
Took me about 5 months, my full time residential address (in California), the companies Payroll Department, My direct Supervisor, The Director of MOT, and the District Superintendent (worked for a school district) to convince them otherwise.
During that 5 month period they (the IRS) were garnishing my wages, took me over a year to get MY MONEY back.
Trust me; eventually you will find out, just be sure you have all your payroll records straight.

A very simple thing :

Trump should announce that a new law he will write a Presidential Order for makes ANYONE who stole and used an Citizen’s ID (whether alive or dead) has committed a crime which makes them INELLIGIABLE for any Citizenship/Amnesty or Welfare payments of any kind and who can be IMMEDIATELY DEPORTED FOR THAT CRIME.

Anyone who has assisted those criminals in carrying out that identity theft would be guilty of conspiring to the crime and face FEDERAL prison time (or instant deportation if not a citizen or greater penalty depending on the magnitude).

Government puts the extra money into a general slush fund. You are never notified.
