The US Social Security Administration: Part of the Problem

There's an excellent article in the Washington Times online today about the SSA's refusal to report false SSN filings to the employers:

The SSA whines about privacy rights, but I smell a BIG RAT. Employers already have access to employee SS numbers due to other hiring requirements. Could this abdication of responsibility be because SSA, like politicians, doesn't care about illegal immigration because it's a boon to their personal interests?

Where does all the money that these illegals pay into the system go? Are you telling me that estimates of Social Security insolvency are actually worse when the illegal contributions are removed? Or worse, since illegal SS contributions seem a very easy candidate for it, are those contributions not even making it into the system? Fraud? Embezzlement? What's up with that SSA?

If there is going to be ANY progress on stopping the illegal invasion of this country, it has to START with enforcing the law against hiring illegals. You cannot enforce that law if our own government refuses to cooperate! Fire those responsible for SSA's policy of refusal to cooperate with our border protection initatives!

As much as Americans pay for SS protections, it's the least SSA can do to help. I'm a former computer programmer myself, we're talking about 2 hours worth of coding. Privacy has nothing to do with this, that dog won't hunt.

Adios MF,
