     @wxl Bad.  I've had to start the clean up of the collateral damage when illegal aliens "borrow" SSNs to work in far too many cases.

     @wxl The Vargas case is just the most highly publicized one of a person who could be prosecuted for many violations but has yet to be.

     @wxl Normally when SSNs get "borrowed", the identity theft creates damage to the actual SSN owner tax-wise that shows up in automated audit.

     @wxl The automated audit is called "Automated Underreporter" where tax returns get compared against income documents on-hand.

     @wxl If not everything earned under the SSN is reported, a "substantial understatement penalty" can be assessed against the real SSN owner.

     @wxl Generally that penalty is in the thousands of dollars.  Clean-up to get the records straightened out generally takes at least a year.

     @wxl The compliance cost to taxpayers is usually pretty substantial even if the penalties are made to go away in the end.

     @wxl Generally we don't see citizens borrow the SSNs of other citizens.  As to gaining citizenship, that's a matter for Congress to decide.
