They paid into the system with no expectation of getting social securitys benefit because they didnt know we would be enacting a bill like this. They paid into the system simply because that was the price to pay to get a job in the United States. The immigrant knew they were using an illegal Social Security number but without regards of the impact of the victim. I have reviewed case after case related to identity theft and Social Security fraud. These cases are occurring all over the United States. In every case. in every State. where someones Social Security number was stolen by an illegal immigrant to use to find work. the victims credit history Is destroyed. Sometimes their work history is too. Earlier I talked about Caleb. a gentleman in Nevada. The illegal immigrant who used Calebs Social Security number was not trying to harm that person but he did. Caleb applied for unemployment but couldnt get it because the agency said he was working when. in fact. he wasnt. He lives in Reno. They said he was working in Las Vegas. It was an illegal immigrant using his Social Security number in Las Vegas. I never said this amendment is going to prevent identity theft. What I have said is that it is not right for somebody to steal somebody elses identitygranted for the noble purpose of getting a joband reward the theft by giving work credit that counts towards Social Security.
