Citizens ID card?

How do you feel about How Illegal Aliens Hurt America’s Senior Citizens?

• Much has been written about the harm that illegal aliens cause to Americans, legal aliens, hospitals, governments, and others in the U.S. In this article, I will explain some of the ways in which the millions of illegal aliens in America hurt America’s senior citizens. A large percentage of people in America’s prisons are illegal aliens. Illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes in other countries prefer to be in America where crime is more lucrative and prisons have nicer accommodations. Criminals prey upon the weak. In many cases, that means the young, the elderly, and the handicapped. Often, senior citizens are the targets of criminals who are illegal aliens. One of the main ways that illegal aliens hurt senior citizens is through identity theft. Senior citizens live on their identity for retirement checks, social security funds, Medicare medical services, retirement funds, etc. Although everyone is at risk for identity theft, senior citizens are more exposed to the possibility of becoming victims. Identity theft costs Americans billions of dollars per year. The presence of millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. is the chief engine that is driving the identity theft criminal activity. Following are three paragraphs from an identity theft article in the August 2007 edition of Good Housekeeping magazine. “In Utah and Houston, where many cases of Social Security ID theft are in the courts, prosecutors say that a majority of imposters are illegal immigrants. There are no national statistics.” “‘Some immigrants cross the border, go to an ID mill, and say, “I need an SS card and this is the name I want on it,” explains Houston Assistant District Attorney John Brewer. ‘They get jobs, start working, and eventually—when they realize they’re not going to get caught—grow more comfortable with the number. Then they go the next step and sign up for a car loan or mortgage.’” “And they usually get away with the crime because there are surprisingly few checks to stop this kind of theft, say prosecutors: Employers aren’t required by law to verify Social Security Numbers and some car salesmen and mortgage brokers are willing to overlook a fishy credit report in order to complete a sale.” A news article which appeared on ABC7Chicago.com for July 11, 2005 stated, “An elderly woman on Chicago’s South Side may be the victim of identity theft and could lose her home because of it. Eighty-three-year-old Lillybella Peagram has lived in the 3500-block of West Van Buren for 45 years. Recently, she received notice from a bank that they will be foreclosing on her home due to an unpaid $150,000 loan taken out in 1990. Peagram says she never took out any loans. Her friends believe her identity was stolen.” A woman in California who had not worked in years got a letter from the IRS demanding over $15,000 in back taxes from a job in Texas. She investigated and learned that her identity had been used at 81 jobs in 17 states from Florida to Washington State. Although it can not be proved, it is likely that her identity was used by illegal immigrants. But, identity theft by illegal immigrants doesn’t just hurt senior citizens financially. It hurts senior citizens physically, too. An insurance card or a Medicare ID number is like a credit card with a two million dollar credit limit. A headline on the front page of the March 15, 2009 edition of the Chicago Tribune told readers, “In the U.S. illegally, Mariana de la Torre used a fake ID to get $530,000 worth of medical care. . . .” When a fake ID is used to obtain medical care, the permanent medical record of the true person becomes POLLUTED with false information. This is very dangerous. Imagine that your mother’s identity was stolen for medical services to an illegal alien. Then, imagine that your mother is in a car accident, that she is taken to a hospital, and her permanent medical records are polluted with false information because of ID theft by an illegal immigrant. http://illegalaliennewsupdate.com/archives/9470

• Answer:

  While it is said that most illegal aliens are law abiding, except for breaking immigration laws, working illegally,not paying income taxes .....it is also a fact that a significant percentage of illegal aliens have no respect for the rule of law and our legal customs. Many come with anti-American attitudes and philosophies that are totally alien to our culture.. The end result is an ever-growing lawlessness among large portions of the illegal alien communities. It only makes sense that illegal alien criminals come to the United States this is where the money is and our jails are a whole lot nicer than what they have in their home countries and our laws more lenient.( I keep looking for the shadows the poor illegal alien s are hiding in) I sure don't see any hiding I see them marching,protesting demanding rights they have no right to,and rioting.No shadows! Property crimes being committed by illegal aliens. However, like the activities of other equal opportunity criminals, many property crimes are drug related, an activity that many illegal aliens, especially illegal alien gangs, are involved in. While violent crimes against ones person are the most serious, if your identity or car is stolen by an illegal alien you won't be too happy about it. As a small example of property crimes, according to the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles, 85,600 cars were stolen in Phoenix alone. The owner losses are estimated to exceed $12.64 million. Most of the stolen cars ended up in Mexico and were never recovered. How many of those cars were stolen by illegal alien criminals versus resident criminals is unknown but you can rest assured that illegal aliens had a large part of it..Identity theft is rampant,seniors are robbed,there homes broken into and conned into giving out their social security card numbers,their Medicare cards,credit cards stolen.The illegal alien is the only one that profits from this type of theft.Criminals both legal citizens and illegal aliens steal,rent,borrow,counterfeit,trade for drugs,and supply ID to criminal illegal aliens.The older American may be incapacitated and unable to report or prosecute this action even if its detected early. They purchase cars open charge accounts ,rent or buy homes all on the stolen ID.They are the scum of the earth.Where are the so called family values,or is that just for their family?
