Get this... when an employer in California tries (in fact is required) to check if a SS number is valid, they have an 800 number to call. All the operator is allowed to tell them is IF the number is valid.

Not that the person who has the card is the owner of the account, or if the number belongs to THAT person. Simply that it is a valid number.

Sound like revenue enhancement? It is. No one WANTS to stop the abuse. I can get you any SS number on an official (looking) card in Times Square, or Market Square anywhere in SoCal.

Couple that with the Catholic Church providing shelter to 'recent arrivals' and references on how to get emergency (normal) care at any (tax paid) subsidized ER, and free (tax paid) prenatal care for the soon-to-be-citizen, as well as a list of 'sympathetic candidates' and the bogus requirements in order to vote here in the state for a specified agenda, and you have Mexifornia as it is today. Go to any passport office and there will be a line of strollers waiting (with an ACLU-provided interpreter) to file for a U.S. Passport for the new little citizen. Parents and siblings, even if here illegally, get to stay to care for the little citizen.

The powers that be (voted into office by this farce) have no interest in changing the way things are.

Kinda like some of the other wars raging at the moment. We have lost, and have not realized it yet.
