Not only is the Mexican government getting money but so are the people of Mexico. A man I was acquainted with at one point in time worked in California and had social security numbers for his family members in mexico. He was using their ssn for his yearly tax filing and receiving money for them claiming them as his dependents. This is inconceivable to me. How could our government allow this to happen. It is not only Mexicans that are buying fake documents to live and work here and receive tax benefits, welfare, etc etc. A friend of mine dated a man from Persia who had fake papers. He stupidly allowed her to go with him to visit a so called attorney friend who was also middle eastern and she witnessed this lawyer, who was well known in the city, supply this guy she was dating with fake papers, tax papers, social security number and I think even a birth certificate in order to stay in the country legally and receive all the US benefits and continue to run his own business and receive tax breaks. These papers were so well put together that no one ever questioned them not even the IRS, until he decided to physically harm my friend and she called the cops on him and called immigration and told them that she believed he was here illegally and using Papers and a Social Security number that was not supplied to him by the US social security administration. Just her telling them that prompted them to have a full investigation done on this man in regards to his documentation and what they found was incredibly calculated. The link to the fake documentation began in Mexico, and led investigators to a company in Texas ran by a man who was born in the middle east somewhere who had political ties and was making hundreds of thousands off creating and selling these fake documents. My friend never told them about the lawyer and he is still around probably selling fake documents to other illegal immigrants or immigrants who cant get citizenship and still want to remain here.
I have heard from other Mexicans that it is fairly easy to get a fake ssn and that many of them come from deceased people. They find birth certificates of deceased people and get their information and create legal identities and every so often they ditch them and get new ones so to keep from getting caught. Another issue that concerns me is all the immigrants with work visas who are working in positions where they have access to people’s social security numbers, DL numbers, address, banking information, etc etc it;s is not uncommon for people in these position’s to abuse their privilages to this private information (since their loyalties DO NOT lie with the American people). For example, I knew someone who abused his privilage to access websites internally to monitor credit card fraud and gathered a bunch of information about his girlfriends credit card information from a dating site she joined about a year before she met him. Apparently even if the you delete the account all your information stays in the websites system for a period of time. If she would have reported him he could have been prosecuted by her and the company he was working for. He was also an immigrant from Mexico. It would not surprise me if immigrants who hold job positions such as these are some of the main culprits in supplying social security numbers to other immigrants who will use them and abuse them for whatever reason.

ITEM The NY Times reported Mexicans who once worked here with valid SS numbers, then returned to Mexico, actually rent out their SS numbers. Illegals on US soil can then file with the IRS and pocket $3500 Earned Income Tax refunds, SS checks, etc, etc, etc.
ITEM A widely-used SS# scheme: illegals name their anchor baby the same name as the parent. They obtain a valid SS# for the anchor baby; the parent uses it, no one checks beyond name-matching, if that.
ITEM CNN's Lou Dobbs reported illegals are stealing small childrens' SS# because a child doesn't use a number very often so it is near impossible to detect a stolen number.
ITEM Dobbs also mentioned that business owners give illegals SS# of a previous employee (it is not a felony to give away SS#s but it is a felony to use them).
ITEM They are establishing multiple identities using several SS numbers so they can collect multiple US, state, and local govt freebies. They can file several tax returns to collect $3500 EITC checks, collect multiple welfare, UI and Workmens Comp under different names and SS#.
Illegals here get paid under the table, don't pay taxes..........and send some $50 billion US dollars back to their decrepit, moth-eaten Third World countries. They are a huge drain on US resources.
ITEM You can do a credit check to see if there are any credit accounts opened with your SSN. But privacy advocates have handicapped the government over concerns of government misuse of personal data. As a result, the government is not allowed to release any information about use of your SSN used for employment. It’s to protect you privacy. However, you should be able to order a SS report that reveals your income-based benefit level. Typically, most people discover someone is using their SSN when the IRS hits you with hefty fines for back taxes not paid on the $300K you earned last year from 21 simultaneous jobs around the country.

These invaders cross the border with nothing in their backpacks but directions on how to get on the the US gravy train. American citizens are losing their savings/homes/futures......while freeloading illegal invaders own homes in the countries they emanate from, have cash in the bank, and are riding the US gravy train, sponging-off hardworking US citizens.
NORTH BERGEN, NJ -- July 21, 2006 -- Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, authorities said.
The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker.
The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the US, passports and resident alien cards, said state police.
Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution. The Drug Interdiction Task Force, regularly runs checks.
The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout.
Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately. The Texas brothers consented to a search.
Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.
All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards.
