Illegal Immigrants and Immigration Laws

This is a vast problem. Every year, nearly 9 million people pay their taxes using the wrong Social Security number. The name used on W-2 tax forms used by employers is different from the name on file with the Social Security Administration.

Most of the 9 million mismatches are immigrants using the wrong Social Security Number. One study by Social Security indicates that most no-match payments come from agricultural and restaurant industries.
Some mismatched SSN belong to a real live people, and it appears that many are chosen at random. Some belong to the deceased; others are entirely fictitious.

Many victims are real and often don't have any idea they're sharing their identity with an immigrant.There is no way to find out, because Social Security will not tell you if someone else is using your SSN. Victims only find out when something goes wrong, such as, when there are unpaid taxes or unpaid bills, debt collectors often track down the original SSN holder, etc.

Some of the illegal aliens are crossing into the United States to find work. Law enforcement officials indicate that there are individuals coming across the border who are forced to leave their home countries because of criminal activities. These dangerous criminals are fleeing the law in other countries and seeking refuge in the United States."

Arizona's law orders immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to suspect they are in the United States illegally. It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transport them.

According to CNN, Prince William County in Virginia has quietly had a similar law on the books for three (3) years now. There is fear in the Latino residents. In an interview with a Latino woman, it was said they are afraid. Local police check a person's immigration status if the person is charged with an offense.

She says that she rarely leaves her home because she is scared of being racially profiled. A supermarket owner said that his business has suffered the law. Regular customer fled the county and moved away. Police statistics showed overall last year, six percent (6%) of criminal arrests were found to be illegal immigrants. Police can only check a person's status if an arrest is made, not just if a person is stopped by the police.

The Prince William County Police Chief says he is working to build the trust, and they are committed to community policing.

Over the weekend, an illegal immigrant killed a nun in a car accident in Virginia. He has been charged with manslaughter. This is not the first time this has happened. An illegal immigrant killed a teenager in a car accident in Virginia in a car accident. They were both drunk and already had driving offenses, and they were still out on the roads driving.
