		<description>I believe this aspect - ID theft - is the &lt;strong&gt;one issue&lt;/strong&gt; that would strengthen Americans resolve against amnesty more than any other. &lt;strong&gt;All Americans&lt;/strong&gt; have names and numbers (esp. Social Security) that are very easy prey for illegal &quot;immigrants&quot;.

Unfortunately and oddly, it conversely seems to be one of the rarely mentioned - by either side - results of the pro-amnesty &amp; sanctuary policies.</description>

		<description>As a resident of Arizona, I see the destructive forces of illegal immigration on a daily basis. This sistuation (regarding stolen ID documents) is a direct result of the carelessness of employers when hiring people for sensitive )though, perhaps, thankless jobs): the DMV, healthcare facilities, the post office all are faltering due to unskilled, careless, dubious employees.

		<description>Good post. In Canada, a lot of people (most?) working at Canada Post today are immigrants. Again and again, we see stories in our newspapers of some Canada Post employee having stolen mail (with bags and bags of mail stacked in the criminal&#039;s apartment).

In keeping with political correctness (which is a terrible disease), they hardly ever give you the names when such people are apprehended, but when they do, it is always (without any exception whatsoever) some unspeakable immigrant name.

I don&#039;t mind immigrants working. But there are certain jobs that are too sensitive to be handed to someone who has been in the country for less than 10 years.

By the way, you want to know why Canada is full of criminals and other types of scum from other countries? Because our immigration department hires recent immigrants (with just a few years in Canada under the belt), whose loyalties lie invariably with the &quot;old country&quot; and not with their host country.

So they approve applications from compatriots even if they have long criminal records.</description>

A bit of identity theft sabotage for those who can get ahold of this information. Just a thought.

-------

You might have a good idea there, but you have obviously picked the wrong group, if you want results.  Instead of those committing the small crimes against people, use those committing the heinous crimes against our society:

every member of the House and Senate, their staffs, the current and former members (and staffs) of all executive administrations, the heads and staffs of the RNC and DNC, the leadership of of the Republican and Democrat parties at all local, state and federal levels, and throw in the CEOs, CFOs, and COOs of the most egregious large firms.

Then, you will get results on a scale fitting the criminal disregard the same people have shown for our country!</description>

Actually not a bad idea for a sting op if ICE (and our &quot;fine leaders&quot;) were serious, CR. 

It would be akin to the cop who plays the drunk to see which would-be muggers take the bait.</description>

If they are using STOLEN social security numbers (aka identity theft) then they are paying taxes on the owner of the of the social security number.

Am I missing something here?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;d add a couple things, Helen, if Joe/Jane American has usually been getting a tax refund from the their $14,000 dollar a year income but their SS/ID is stolen &amp; being used by dozens of illegals all claiming six dependents each, guess who&#039;s up a creek come April 15th?

Also, if an illegal is arrested for a crime &amp; IDed as you and is supposed to show up later for a trial/sentencing guess whos&#039; door law enforcement will be knocking on, arrest warrant in hand.</description>

		<description>For the grand sum of a smile I offer a small solution to the problem of identity theft. Acquire and freely pass out to the illegal alien community the social security numbers of America&#039;s most wanted. Also pedophiles, murderers, others convicted of major crimes and already incarcerated, various gang bangers and other criminal types. I would imagine these ss# and corresponding bios would pique the interest of law enforcement.
These numbers could be innocently scrawled on bathroom walls or accidentally left in here and there where illegals gather. A bit of identity theft sabotage for those who can get ahold of this information. Just a thought.</description>

It never fails to amaze me that all the illegal supporters don’t want to have any focus on identity theft.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What has stopped amazing me is that those who believe in enforcing our laws don&#039;t put this at the top of the &quot;Top Ten&quot; list of reasons for stopping the illegal invasion. It (ID theft) impacts so many people and will only grow. This aspect of the problem would resonate even more strongly with more Americans.

What percentage of the &quot;law abiding undocumented workers&quot; are using stolen Social Security numbers,  do you suppose? To get a job, they&#039;d all have had to supply to employers with an SS#/card - so the sleazy ones (employers) can at least plead &quot;Well, they had valid SS numbers&quot;.</description>

		<description>Graysonret, that is one of the things I miss about Hampton Roads.  I went to Manassas the other day to the Home Depot.  I got stopped by 5 illegals asking if I had any work for them, of course I said &quot;no&quot;.  
I hope that you enjoy living in the area.  I think you will though.</description>

		<description>I use lifelock and one other monitor.  You can never have enough these days.  I also know that 7-11, having lived in that area for many years.  Day laborers (illegals) are all over that area.  It was one of the reasons why I left No. Virginia. Not only are prices cheaper where I live, but I have yet to meet a store clerk who doesn&#039;t speak perfectly good English.  And, I don&#039;t have illegals hanging all over the neighborhood malls and stores in large groups. They are probably around, but just aren&#039;t so obvious. The sad part is that they get away with just about everything, and our government has surrendered to them...for power and votes.</description>

		<description>I am still trying to figure out how day laborers pay taxes. Estimated? 

This whole thing is sssssssooooooo bogus. 

If someone comes here with a green card or visa they have a TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number). They are legit and pay taxes.

If people take money under the table (day laborers) then they are not paying taxes.

If they are using STOLEN social security numbers (aka identity theft) then they are paying taxes on the owner of the of the social security number.

		<description>Good post see-dubya.  I have no children (that I know of) but plenty of nephews and nieces.

And a two year old Vent is better than no Vent at all.  And Michelle was spot on back then and is still on the mark today.  Thanks.

PS - O&#039;Reilly has E.D. Hill sitting in for Michelle tonight (yes, I still feel Friday prime time on FNC belongs to Michelle).</description>

		<description>That is why I signed my whole family for Lifelock.  I don&#039;t want my son&#039;s identity stolen. By the way, who is working in our hospitals nowadays, in Atlanta, a hospital worker stole a dead woman&#039;s rings and in Los Angeles, records of stars.  Disgusting.  And these are people who will treat us?</description>
