Regarding US savings bonds, we thought (and this is official united states gub’mnt type thinking) they were having their fake hispanic surnamed employees buy us savings bonds so they’d seem patriotic ~ to throw the T-men off their trail.
Ludicrous. You’re right, though, it sounds like a theory a government employee might develop.
Actually the fraud works the other way. The illegal aliens who are hired with fake SSANs have their FICA withheld and that money does actually buy bonds (meaning the political hacks "borrow" it and issue "bonds" to the SS Trust Fund).
The rub is the illegal never receives Social Security Retirement or Disability benefits because if they apply they get caught and are informed that they don't qualify.
They are unwittingly helping to perpetuate the SS Ponzi Scheme.
