Illegal Immigrants Stealing Your Identity

Illegal Immigrants Stealing Your Identity -->Written by Justin DarrMonday, May 01, 2006

Here is something to say to yourself as you are watching the May 1 illegal immigration protests: “I could be one of them.”

Quite literally, you could be. You are probably well aware of the raid by federal authorities last month that found over 1000 employees of IFCO Systems were illegal immigrants. What you are not aware of, however, is the fact that in the audit leading up to the raid, according to CNN, over 53% of IFCO’s entire work force was using fake or stolen social security numbers. Whose numbers? Who knows! The federal government, IRS, and Social Security Administration are not saying. Nor are they planning on announcing the information, because to do so would highlight to the public the greatest threat posed to the average American by illegal immigration: identity theft.

If you have started a new job in the United States since 1986, then you are familiar with the first day ritual of producing your Social Security card and drivers license for your new employer to complete the federal I-9 “Employment Eligibility Verification” form. There are several reasons for this report: the first is to ensure that all your personal information is correct so your withholding taxes can be credited properly. The second reasons is for the employer to verify that you are actually you and not an imposter. The third reasons is to verify that you are either a citizen, or authorized immigrant eligible to work in the United States.

Well once you've broken one law (You're in this nation illegally) why stop there? I mean we don't enforce our own sovereignty so why should other nationals pay attention to any of our laws? Try this the next time you're pulled over for speeding. Just say, "No hable English!" I bet you would not even be fined.
