So you come across wages being reported under 7 different names for the same period of time.
The social security agency doesn't care what name is on W-2 , or if the social security tax was paid by illegal aliens, the more money they get the better.
INS doesn't care, you can't even get into them to report it.
Unemployment only cares if the illegals file for unemployment. They do not have laws governing using the wrong social security numbers, unless they file for benefits. As long as the wages are reported and they get their money, no laws are broken.
State revenue, doesn't care, they got more money into their coffers than they would have otherwise.
The poor unsuspecting victim of identity theft is the only one who cares. When they are pulled for an IRS audit because they failed to report the wages earned for that year they find out that people with three names have used their social security number. The IRS doesn't just investigate and take the wages out of the owner's database nooooo, the taxpayer has to prove they didn't work at the establishments. The establishments who didn't check out the workers very well, aren't about to help the owner of the social security number for fear of being prosecuted.
No one seems to have a problem with identity theft, except the taxpayer. It is a real see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. Especially during the Clinton years. The master of evil, knew that they could use these same individuals to vote for them, so they solved any potential scandel and problem by making sure the INS didn't have the resources to investigate these problems. An easy way to solve a problem without political heat.
