CIRCA 2006 Immigrants stealing U.S. Social Security numbers (Cheap Labor Express complicit)

FR Posted by Uncle Miltie

Camber Lybbert thought it was a mistake when her bank told her that her daughter's Social Security number, issued by the U.S. government, was on their files for two credit cards and two auto loans, with an outstanding balance of more than $25,000.

Her daughter is 3 years old.

...an illegal, Jose Tinoco, was using their daughter's stolen Social Security number, not in pursuit of a financial crime, but in order to get a job. ...

Though most people think of identity theft as a financial crime, one of the most common forms in the United States involves illegal immigrants using fraudulent Social Security numbers to conduct their daily lives.

With tacit acceptance from some employers and poor coordination among government agencies, this practice provides the backbone of some low- wage businesses and a boon to the Social Security trust fund.

During the 1990s, such mismatches accounted for about $20 billion in Social Security taxes paid.

....

Illegal immigrants make up nearly one of every 20 workers in the United States (circa 2006), according to estimates by the Pew Hispanic Center, and most are working under fraudulent Social Security numbers, which can be bought in any immigrant community or in Mexico.

...

"We know we'll never get it back," Maria said of the Social Security payments. "It's unfortunate, but it's a given."

...

A US Government Accountability Office study found that employers with the most mismatches were concentrated in industries that hire a lot of illegal immigrants. The Social Security Administration is legally barred from sharing information with immigration or law enforcement agencies

...

The rightful owner of a stolen number does not get the benefits accrued under its false use. (Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ... link at FR post may be archived.

March 8, 2012 KENNER, La. -- Kenner police arrested illegal Marvin Baca who sold false W-2 forms to another illegal immigrant for $1,500.

Baca sold fraudulent W-2 forms for $1,500 to other Hispanics here illegally.

Police said that on one of the forged W-2 forms had a SS no of a person living in Virginia. Police said illegal Hispanics purchase fictitious W-2 forms and file false tax returns with the government to receive EITC refunds. Baca was charged with one count of ID theft and two counts of forgery.

"Impoverished" illegals buy fraudulent documents for big bucks once they get here. They know they are breaking US laws using phony documents.

ITEM--The US State Dept (pre-Hillary) refused to accept visas from NJ b/c they were mostly fraudulent....the county clerk was a latino---and ethnic solidarity was rampant.

ITEM--CIRCA 2005---NJ BERGEN RECORD---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 (many latinos establish multiple identities in order to ride the US gravy train).

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 NJ state police.

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. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot.

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. After 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 when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####

W-2’s and 1099’s don’t have to be filed until the end of January. Never understood why the IRS starts cranking out refunds on January 2 without some means of cross-checking corresponding documents to make sure that the numbers, names and addresses agree or at least check them against the prior year’s W-2’s, 1099’s and tax returns.

The data is there. They need to use it. Wouldn’t catch everybody but would at least catch some.

Many illegal alien invaders love using the Social Security numbers of little American kids. These numbers and children’s names are more than likely being given to them by corrupt government workers.

Political regulator suck-ups want to fantasize about building a useless wall instead of going after employers.
