   The government can easily require enforcement and checking the   
   validity of social security numbers which are required prior to making   
   a hire.   If you've ever applied for anything at the Social Security   
   Administration, you know that they have your work history for your   
   entire lifetime.   When six or more people are using the same number,   
   they know perfectly well that something is fishy.   
      
   The problem is that, more often then not, our government seem to give   
   a pass to aliens using false social security cards, prefering to   
   emphasize enforcement and deportation proceedings on violent criminals   
   and those that flagrantly break the drug laws.   
      
   Our enforcement authorities are hypersensitive to situations that   
   involve potentially splitting up "nice" families, for example, that   
   women holed up in a Chicago church who admits she's illegal and can't   
   give a good reason why she should be allowed to stay, but refuses to   
   be deported anyway.   
      
   The US has been "nice" for too long....  It's time to get serious   
   about enforcing the laws...
