The Charlotte Observer
WASHINGTON - Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., said Wednesday she'll introduce bills requiring the Social Security Administration to notify immigration officials -- and any affected legal U.S. resident -- whenever more than one person uses a Social Security number.
The legislation, which would also police fake Social Security numbers used by illegal workers and the companies that hire them. It is designed to close a loophole that allows Social Security and the IRS to keep secret mountains of evidence of immigration fraud.
"Millions of Americans had their (Social Security) cards used by illegal aliens," said Myrick, a six-term GOP congresswoman from Charlotte. "But the bureaucrats at the Social Security Administration don't tell these Americans. Their ID gets stolen and they are left in the dark."
