Obama admin ended SSN "no match letters" because of DACA

Interesting:

The Obama administration put an end to no match letters altogether. Jason Hopkins, the investigations manager for the IRLI, told RCI that the Obama administration did so in service of its Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ("Dreamers") program, which allowed illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children exemption from deportation and eligibility for work permits.

"If they went in [and] applied for a DACA application, and they had to actually admit they put in fake social security numbers, they'd be essentially admitting to perjury," Hopkins says. "So that would have scared them off, and Obama wanted them to apply for this program."

In 2019, the Trump administration-led Social Security Administration resumed sending out no match letters, delivering 1.6 million notices across 2019 and 2020. The Biden administration again discontinued the practice.

I will always be eternally grateful to Obama, this country, and it's people for DACA. It turned my life around.

the more dirt they find on DACA the more fked we are.

Obamna would solo everyone if 3rd terms were a thing.

They admitted it with that whole 3rd Trump term bill.

I think probably the worst part of this is missed by 99.9% of people reading the article about SSN who just take the system as a fact of the world.



Its a trash-tier identifier with the importance of your life, the security of a potato crisp, and used as a password for services.

Meaning when its stolen, as it eventually will and probably already has been, your identity will be stolen as easily as possible.

Social Security should've been a retirement account invested at your direction, either in the stock market, treasury instruments, or even cash if you are a moron. Not your citizenship/eligible-to-work number.

Then they should've made a National ID.
Not having a National ID is a major problem in this country because you have to go to a DMV/BMV and with the whole id-required to vote push, then maybe they should also push for having a free national ID with biometrics and a secure-chip like your credit card. Notice how they never push for giving out the ID, only that you should have the ID. That one slipped past a lot of people.

They should've had a unified ID for foreigners/people with greencards to be your "carry this as your registration document" except the current status is that its a MAJOR hassle to carry these documents around AND replace them if lost. So much inefficiency in here.

Oh but don't worry the RealID with the gold star is a secret national ID. All states have their databases linked together for easy querying. Surprise. That one slipped past a lot of people as well. If you try to get an ID elsewhere in another state, your previous state ID will be revoked. Not only that, but the Mexican and Canadian drivers licenses databases are interlinked as well. Surprise. You have a national ID that is viewed as a state ID.

You dont want to know whats slipping past people nowadays. Its what doesn't get printed/screeched about in the news thats the real news.

Flores-Figueroa v. United States (2009). Using a completely made up SSN is not illegal, no matter how the local klansmen wish it was. DACA application also doesn't ask about that and outright states in the instructions to not list any made up SSNs you might've used. 381-73-5541 probably belongs to someone, who, fuck knows, lock me up boys.

No match letters also got suspended at roughly the same time in August 2012 due to a bunch of lawsuits by those caught in the crossfire with dumbass employers deciding to fire such employees because the government was being dumb. DHS rule where ICE tried to use the "no match" letters from SSA as an enforcement mechanism was first enjoined by a court and later withdrawn by DHS back in 2009. Overall just too many false positives due to name changes, extra/missing hyphens, going by nicknames and shorts, dropped second last names, typos, etc.

Basically, whatever right-wingers write is either completely fake or at the very least exceptionally dishonest. As much as they like to seethe about a theoretical newborn being issued an SSN that somebody was using that's on the government for letting the entire system work ass-backwards. If you try to make an account with the IRS then IRS will use the credit score companies to verify who you are, not the other way around.

glong to be a legal bloobath once the democrats win in 2028 thats all i keep hearing lmaooooo

If we're lucky you'll be back in Uganda or wherever you're from or in that shiny new concentration camp in El Salvador. Remember, first implicit requirement for any sort of legalization program that may or may not pass is to be physically in US.
