[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OH LOOK.  Turns out these are indeed illegal immigrants.  Sorry:  "undocumented."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a memorandum aimed at stopping undocumented immigrants and other ineligible people from obtaining Social Security Act benefits, the White House said.

[b]Some undocumented workers obtain jobs by using fake or borrowed Social Security numbers and pay into Social Security, but are not eligible to receive social security benefits under current law.[/b]

This isn’t the owning of the libs you think it is. One, because someone can steal your SSN and fraudulently use it. If Trump’s response is to declare you/ your SSN dead, then rather than resolving the fraud, you lose your ability to bank, have a drivers license of passport,  buy or rent a home, earn a living, and obviously draw benefits.  Mt BFF had their SSN stolen in the IRS  databreach.  The correct response was to resolve the fraud, not to legally kill her SSN. And that took months to resolve and was a real nightmare. If she had just been declared dead by SSA, she would literally lose the ability to live or work.

And two because, yes, you are correct. Contrary to the misinformation and hysteria on here, illegal immigrant don’t get benefits. Which doesn’t stop the person whose number the stole from getting benefits while this is resolved.

Also note— the number is used to work and pay into SSA. But, the person using a fraudulent number (or a visa holder with a lawful number), pays FICA taxes, but is not eligible for benefits. Which is one of the main reasons SSA is still solvent. [/quote]
