Illegals who are here working and committ no other crime other than illegally entering this country should not be prosecuted for using a SSN. Most illegals pay taxes twice- that is right -twice. They want to do the right thing and so many of them get TIN (tax id #s) from the IRS and pay taxes every year and they pay taxes on the borrowed SSN (usually that citizen has sold the ssn and has same or

Chris, how, my dear, do you think these people are voting? Illegals cannot vote. They wont have the proper documents. When the rolls are verified, it will show up as a fake.

Same political BS, as always. Let's not blame the GOP's inability to come up with a cohesive image that meets the standards of the US people...no! It MUST be the illegals who ARE NOT voting.

What a joke. Of course it is identity theft. Where do they think the number comes from?

But where is the employer in all of this? They are required to verify that the person is who they say they are. They can verify the ssn online and get immediate results - but they don't. Why? Because they don't care.

Bullhooey is what this is!

You use the word "worst" to describe Americans, I would use the word best. When we defend our nation it brings out the best, most patriotic sentiment in many Americans. Americans want to defend the border. We don't want foriegners who came here illegally deciding American elections.

Anyone who thinks that illegal immigration is not a political issue is a drooling retard.

Why do you think Arizona, New Mexico and Texas are about to become blue states? Its because of all the poor, illegals voting for hee-lah-ree!!!

Tom, way to bow out of a discussion. Last word much?

BTW, the only one who insisted on calling the opposition an insulting name (wingnuts) was you.

2009-05-05T21:00:00.000-04:00

I guess there is no point in arguing with wing nuts. No democrat ever filibustered Bush on immigration - so that's BS. As usual. If Bush really wanted to deport all illegals, he could have pushed for it. Instead, I seem to recall Bush had his own immigration "reform" bill, which as I remember many repubs opposed him on. So there. Whatever, keep listening to the right wing hate radio for your

2009-05-05T20:57:00.000-04:00

Tom the anon didn’t politicize this blog half as much as you did. Then you call out CM because you think identity theft doesn’t have anything to do with credit? Seriously? I doubt CM is going to steer clear of a relevant story because a touchy issue surrounds it. Most good writers don’t fear the issues.

That being said I agree with the ruling. They are not saying that using a fake

2009-05-05T20:28:00.000-04:00

Tom, maybe you believe that Bush could push everything through congress. Bush didn't control congress. Bush didn't always do what republicans wanted. What we know is democrats have been fighting to give amnesty to illegal immigrants, to the people who illegally entered the United States and stole jobs from working Americans. Tom, do you know what a filibuster is? You say republicans controlled

2009-05-05T19:32:00.000-04:00

Gee, I love how the wing nuts never accept any responsibility. Eight years of the worst president except for Buchanan, a regime that had unchecked power for at least 6 of those years controlling all branches of the government: executive, legislative (both houses), and judicial (Supreme Court was and still is Republican), and still they find a way to blame the democrats. So, during all those years

2009-05-05T18:12:00.000-04:00

Tom, when Bush sent ICE to deport illegal immigrants, it was the democrats that protested. Don't let the truth interfere with your political agenda. The truth is they came here illegally. The first act they did on American soil was to violate our laws.

2009-05-05T15:31:00.000-04:00

That's why I jumped on that comment, CM :) Illegal aliens is not a partisan issue. If I wanted to get partisan, I could've answered that it seems the other party is responsible, since most employers are R, and without employers willing to employ illegals, there would be NO illegal aliens coming for work (as 99% of them do). So that would make Repubs responsible for illegal aliens, no? Of course,

Duly noted, Tom. I figure my readers will weed out those who make dumb comments. By and large, my readers police this blog very well. What can I say? I have a lot of faith in my readers. It's pretty rare to have knucklehead comments -- but they do occur. When they do, readers jump on it and put the message in check.

2009-05-05T15:17:00.000-04:00

Not a problem, CM, except when illegals are involved, it always brings out the worst in some people, and there's some old-fashioned political bashing that goes on. That's why I was surprised you'd want that on your blog - this particular subject is touchy (another touchy one: gay marriage). The focus quickly shifts from anything even remotely connected with credit matters, and the discussion is

Tom, it was an identity theft story! LOL. Actually, after I published it I was thinking -- sheesh, this sure is a tangentially-related story for the site.

But whatever. You guys usually cut me a break when I post something like this. And it's always appreciated.

The Anon who claimed "democrats" want illegals here... what is it with you people? Do you have to politicize everything? And as usual with these types, there is not one ounce of sense in this nonsensical claim - first, it was a court decision, not the administration! The administration argued for the opposite! Second, it was not a "democratic" court - it was a unanimous vote - ALL JUSTICES (the

2009-05-05T13:58:00.000-04:00

Someone was using my Social Security Number, and I discovered it when I first pulled my credit reports about four years ago. I found out even though this is illegal, no one will take any action.

I got the accounts and this person's name off my report, but they still show up on my Lexis-Nexis. It was an Hispanic female, with thousands of dollars of medical bills and baby furniture

2009-05-05T13:47:00.000-04:00

So let me get this straight: an illegal used the SSN of an actual US citizen 8 years ago, the IRS flagged the SSN, and the illegal continues to use the same SSN 8 years later? Who the heck cares if the actual use of the SSN to work is a crime or not?!? Why hasn't ICE been called in to deport the illegal and press criminal charges against the employer? They obviously know where he works if wages
