> This is when a criminal defrauds a bank or other company by getting credit using your identifying information and then defaults. ID Theft isn't just this. Illegal aliens use ID purchased on the black market to get jobs and pass ID verification. While they have those jobs, they have payroll taxes withheld, but don't file taxes leading to some Americans being hounded by the IRS. https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/15-illegal-aliens-arrested-east-texas-identity-theft https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/15-illegal-aliens-arrested... https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnists/2017/07/03/identity-theft-overlooked-wrinkle-illegal-immigration/444863001/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnists/2017/07/03... Additionally, some American babies are assigned SSN's already associated with illegal aliens: > Illegal aliens generally prefer SSNs that have not yet been legally issued or, failing that, the SSNs that belong to American children since these numbers can be used for years without anyone knowing it – except the IRS and the Social Security Administration. > However, the Social Security Administration does not remove unassigned SSNs used by illegal immigrants from its database. That means the numbers are eventually assigned to newborn, American infants. Neither the Social Security Administration nor the IRS notifies American citizens when their or their children’s SSNs are used by others. In other words, the federal government has facilitated identity theft and protected the identity thieves. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/immigration/327049-president-trump-tell-the-feds-to-stop-helping-illegal-aliens http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/immigration/327049-pre...
