Want to stop SSN fraud in a single, striking blow?

Stop using SSN as an identifiable piece of information financially. Period. No exceptions.

Just use it for getting SS payments, job applications.

No credit card use.
No loan use.
No background checks.
Nothing other than the intended purpose.

So If Illegals Sell SSNs...

So what if the illegals living here, with the help of bleeding heart liberals running sanctuary cities like San Fran Sicko and El Lay, sell SSNs? Are they deported back home? If so, they will just sneak back here, because they are doing work for globalists like President Felipe de Jesus CALDERON Hinojosa. In fact, I'll bet Calderon gives them a medal because they are helping him export his unemployment problem to the good old USA. Better yet, I'll bet Calderon even helps them get their hands on piles of juicy SSNs.
