Last October. Cook County Sheriffs detectives arrested two individuals for manufacturing hundreds of fake identification documents in Chicagos West Lawn neighborhood. Outside of the Chicago area. one ICE raid in Washington. DC. netted 880 fake Social Security cards. In Waukegan. police raids discovered numerous crimes of identity theft. including criminals purchasing homes and cars with stolen Social Security numbers. For as little as $100. an individual in Waukegan can purchase a fake Social Security card. Its time we upgrade Social Security cards with photos and biometric data like a fingerprint to protect seniors from identity theft and prevent draining of Social Security trust funds.
