The problem here is that our Social Security Administration has no incentive to cooperate with fixing this. It equates to asking them to stop accepting free money under the table since illegals will never ask for it back and today's 4 year old will never see a return on it anyway.

What we really need is a way to provide incentive for SSA, DHS, FBI, INS, and CPS to participate in fixing this. I think one way is to provide financial incentive for getting involved. Similar to how we can seize assets from drug dealers and then use it to clean up our streets, organizations partnering in this fight against identity theft should be allowed to sieze the money that has already been paid into social security by identity thieves.

Here's a SQL query for starters:

SELECT E.NAME,E.PHONE,T.NAME FROM EMPLOYERS AS E, TAXPAYERS AS T WHERE T.AGE<12 AND T.EMPLOYERID=E.ID ORDER BY E.NAME, T.NAME

Pass this list to CPS (note it does not include any Social Security Numbers, just names of children who are likely being victimized in some way) and have them call down the list during school hours. Provide a simple telemarketing script. It starts by asking to speak with each name on the list. If they pass the phone to a child, they're likely in violation of child labor law or maybe in Utah you uncover some polygamous tax fraud scheme. CPS wins. If they tell you they've never heard of that person, they're likely employing an illegal who gave them a bogus SSN. INS wins. If it's a terrorist, DHS wins. And if none of the above pan out at the very least CPS can call the parents and inform them that their child's SSN may have been stolen and used by such-and-such employer, even though they do not know or have access to what the SSN is. Once you get parents involved, you'll start moving heaven and earth on this issue.

The beauty of a system like this is that it can support itself, being paid for by the money illegals themselves are already paying into the system. Additional revenue could likely be generated by fining the most egregious employers. Any excess above the cost of administering the program, can go towards funds targeted towards helping parents and children recover from identity theft, and making it easier and safer for honest hardworking people who want to participate in our American dream to become naturalized citizens.
