>>These are probably very hard- working people that are trying to get by. They've found gaps and loops in the system and are trying to get through those gaps and loops," Law's husband, Rich, said of Morales and other immigrants.<<

What an unimaginative excuse for their criminality. He must be a multiculuralist/diversity monger.

Stealing a social security card would get an American citizen jail time. No one would have the audacity to suggest they were good, hard-working people whose only crime is they found loopholes.

In 1990, the fund totaled $1.2 billion. By the end of a decade during which America's undocumented immigrant population doubled and the circulation of fake identity documents surged, that fund topped $6 billion.

Thanks alot, Slick Willy. /sarcasm

Since illegal immigrants have no right to SSA benefits, the government will pocket most of the money, experts say.

I begin to get a glimmer of why the feds are relunctant to do anything about illegal immigration.

. . .said Alejo, who spoke on condition his last name not be used.

"Alejo" is a federal criminal. The author knows he is a federal criminal and is covering for him to get his stroy. This means the author is quilty of misprision of a federal crime. But, for the reason above, no action by the district attorney will be taken, or any action by anyone in the fedgov or state.

I wonder how many SS numbers are stolen by employees from bank account records? Since the war on drugs allows LEOs to confiscate large amounts of cash you may carry with you, you are for all practical purposes forced to use a bank account to hold the money for use. Could this be part of the reason opposition to the drug war is stonewalled by the feds even in the fact of overwhelming evidence that it destroys more than it saves?

Could these events be all one dirty ball of causation centered around the need for politicians to keep this socialist system from collapsing on their watch?

Enforcement agencies say the most effective way to control the problem would be to issue a counterfeit-proof Social Security card to every U.S. worker. But a 1997 government study found the move would cost $10 billion, and lawmakers have so far balked at the price.

Right.

It obviously makes more sense to give $10 billion to Turkey. Or to South Africa, to use to combat AIDS.

Sears issued a credit card to someone in California using my SSN. This "someone" used a Hispanic name. Sears said it was a "typo". !@#$%&&*()_+_^%@ Sears !

[PatrioticAmerican]

I have on good word from a neighbor who is a manager for a nationally known veteran’s organization that the Social Security Administration will do a Social Security Number check for a prospective employee, BUT the information cannot be used to deny someone a job. Hence, illegal aliens can use stolen Social Security Numbers because they cannot be denied jobs regardless.

The SSA goes on to say that using the information to deny a job will result in prosecution of the employer.

Gee, I thought they only did low-paying dirty work that lazy, selfish Americans don't want to do.

This is like Jesus Apodaca. Illegals are so brazen now, they can give interviews and brag about their status, and absolutely nothing is done to them. They are coming here, devastating the lives of Americans, taking jobs away from Americans, bringing down wages, flooding the schools, the roads, the County hospitals; committing crimes, driving (often drunk or recklessly) without licenses or insurance, causing housing shortages, ruining neighborhoods, and on and on and on. Why the !@#$! are we putting up with this? Illegal immigration benefits only a small group of Americans, while having a devastating impact on almost everyone else. Yet it goes on and on, and nothing is done about it.

This happened to a friend of mine, what a headache to fix.

"These are probably very hard- working people that are trying to get by. They've found gaps and loops in the system and are trying to get through those gaps and loops," Law's husband, Rich, said of Morales and other immigrants.

If they were so hard working, they'd find a legal way to do things. The reason they steal Social Security numbers and lie about their credentials, is they don't want to have to work hard, they believe they're too good to pick lettuce. They want the jobs that Americans would do.

Just got through auditing a firm and when we checked out the Social security numbers, found 2 that were unassigned(could have been a transposition) and 7 others that were assigned to one person and being used by 4 others. The other four were all relatives of illegal aliens that were sharing it.

The original owner had a last name that was as common as Smith. THe other 4 all had 2 last names, and were something like a mexian smith.

Trouble is, mr. smith will be audited for not reporting all the W-2 information that year.

Six Billion, that's more than I would have thought.
