How many ID THEFTS are directly related to immigration?

Question

Illegal aliens that is?

Answer 1

Tens of thousands, at the very least. Probably in excess of a million. I've met several people that have recieved the letter from the IRS about back taxes owed, due to them working more jobs and not paying taxes. Of course the IRS doesn't see how hard it is to work in Las Vegas and Oregon at the same time, so the burden goes to the victim to prove he did not work both jobs. This is one of the crimes that illegal aliens commit that directly affects an individual. Those individual victims pay for being a victim of identity theft for the rest of their lives.

This just made me realize the best way to solve illegal immigration- First, all of the U.S. citizens that are supporting the illegals SHOULD POST THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS ON THE INTERNET FOR THE ILLEGALS TO USE AND WORK UNDER!

Then, after they have to pay a bunch of back taxes, or fight with the government and IRS and maybe even Police agencies and jails when their idenity is used for a crime and a warrant is issued, maybe they'll realize what the problem is and then they'll understand why ILLEGAL = CRIMINAL.

Answer 2

The AZ law is NOT the same as the federal law. It creates a new legal standard for police to stop and interrogate citizens. For more than a century the standard has been "reasonable cause to believe". Only in Arizona is the standard lowered to something called "reasonable suspicion." One problem is that nobody really knows what that means. Is it reasonable to suspect someone just because they're Hispanic? I hope not. If that's what it means then some other law can be written to allow the police to hassle blue eyed people, or black skinned people or those with buzz haircuts, or those with tattoos or those who wear camo. It doesn't have to apply only to immigration. There is a realistic fear that the police have now been granted an undefined and broad power.

Answer 3

I asked myself that same question about ten years ago, and the answer is that every problem that ever afflicting America in the last 30 years is caused by immigration. Ask the English immigrates, Germans, French, Spanish immigrants, Chinese, Japanese or even the Mexican immigrants of the last 300 years, and to a head, they will unconditionally agree that Immigration is a terrible, terrible thing!
Why you might ask!
Well, immigration breeds crimes, caused by hand wringing, lip service, and poor TV reception even on a good day, or not?
No, none of the above, It is a fact that everyone needs someone to look down on, right? Looking down the nose is the fatherly and motherly responsibility of all real First Class Citizens of America!

Answer 4

Millions!
All illegal aliens who are using social security numbers are committing ID theft, they are guilty of a serious crime.

Use of any social security number which is "borrowed", "belongs to someone else", "made up", bought, "belonging to a family member (like anchor baby, or child, etc...), or gotten by using a false ID, "borrowed ID, made up ID, or any false information (including your legal status) etc....is a STOLEN social security number, it is a FELONY, for which the punishment is a $250,000.00 fine and 25 years in federal prison, followed by deportation for illegal aliens, after which the illegal alien can NEVER immigrate legally to the USA, can NEVER enter the USA legally at all, can NEVER become a legal US resident, or legal US citizen.

Use of any social security number which was stolen (by any means), is considered to be Identity Theft by the United States FBI.

Answer 5

I would say the vast majority but it's hard to get exact numbers since so many are using multiple identies. Not all are. There are citizens who have criminal records that use another SS# so they can get employment. Our mistakes follow us throughout life. That's why it's frightning to think they would consider 12-20 million with no real way to know what their past crimes are. Nice janitor that's a pedophile and rapist. Health aid that's a thief or whatever. They screen us from day one....not so on the other end.

Answer 6

I don't think there is a published number but when you ask who needs an identity, the answer is always a lawbreaker unless it's for the purpose of being under a witness protection program. Do you know of any legal reason for anyone else to need an identity? 12-20 million illegal immigrants needing papers would pretty much guarantee that the majority are illegal and are absolutely and unequivocally criminals.

Answer 7

NO way to know for sure. But ID theft for illegals is for them to work, you those social security numbers. Most of the ID theft that takes place is for people to rob you blind. Most of the features we have seen in newspapers and on TV do NOT depict illegals as the culprits but WHITES, BLACKS born in this country who through sheer greed want to take someone else's hard earned money from them.

Answer 8

I believe it to be half, with the other half going to all the ICE-HEAD. Maybe I am WRONG. But, have you looked at the people shopping after midnight. Scary man, real Scary. These(Both aforementioned) people are going to ruin this country, If Bush doesn't sell it First.

Answer 9

I read an article recently in which law enforcement officers from all over the country said that virtually all identity thefts they encountered were related to methamphetamine. None of them even mentioned illegal immigration.
