Social Security Unconcerned About 10 Million "No-Match" Problem

FAIR Was There

[Tuesday] the House immigration subcommittee held a hearing on the lack of worksite enforcement and employer sanctions. Witnesses included Richard Stanna, director of homeland security and justice issue for the GAO; Terrence Jeffery editor of Human Events; Carl Hampe partner with Baker and McKenzie LLP; and Jennifer Gordon Associate Professor of Law at Fordham University Law School.

Terrence Jeffrey of Human Events made the important point that the "wall of separation" between the Social Security Administration and the DHS in sharing information on which specific employers are hiring the most illegal aliens is analogous to the "wall of separation" in our intelligence agencies that led to the tragic failure to detect the 9/11 plot and stop it. Jeffrey pointed out that a recent SSA report concluded there are over 10 million Social Security numbers being used by individuals who have not been issued Social Security numbers.

Illegal Workers Found At Nuclear Weapons Facility

"Sixteen foreign-born construction workers with phony immigration documents were able to enter a nuclear weapons plant in eastern Tennessee because of lax security controls, a federal report said Monday," the AP reported. "The report, initiated by a tip in 2004, said the workers had fake green cards that certified them to work in the United States. Their cases were turned over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for deportation. The Y-12 plant, created for the top-secret Manhattan Project that developed nuclear bombs in World War II, makes parts for nuclear warheads and is the country's principal storehouse for weapons-grade uranium."

Joe Guzzardi: Lodi Terror Arrests Show Fraud Problem in Religious Visa Program

"Last week's FBI probe into the possibility that two local Lodi men, U.S.-born Hamid Hayat, 24, and his father, Umer Hayat, 47, might have ties to al-Qaida, should draw attention to one the nation's biggest problems in the terrorism war: visa fraud. Note that also arrested on 'immigration violations' were two imams, Muhammed Adil Khan, 47, and Shabbir Ahmed, 42, and Khan's 19-year old son, Mohammad Hassan Adil," says Lodi News columnist Joe Guzzardi. "No matter what the truth is in the Lodi case, the Bush administration owes it to America to tighten up on religious visas. The R-1 visa provides easy access into the country for people who may be intent on harming us. The U.S. can get along perfectly well without the R-1 visa. But we may not be able to survive if the government continues to issue them."

Long Island Landlord Arrested: 64 Illegal Aliens Found

"Suffolk police yesterday arrested the owner of a rundown 900-square-foot house in Farmingville that has been home to as many as 64 Hispanic immigrants at a time, each paying $200 to $250 a month in rent," Newsday writes. "Rosalina Dias, 31, of Selden, was charged with criminal contempt and criminal nuisance for allegedly violating an October court order barring her from renting the single-family house. Although officials said it was highly unusual to arrest a landlord, they took the action because of her 'outrageous and total disregard for court orders,' said Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy."

Immigration Case Against Cuban Accused in Terror Attacks Will Stay In Texas

"Immigration proceedings for an anti-Castro exile accused of masterminding the deadly bombing of a Cuban airliner in 1976 will not be moved to Florida and will remain in El Paso, a judge ruled. Luis Posada Carriles, 77, was arrested in Miami last month after slipping into the United States. Posada is wanted by Venezuela for his alleged role in the bombing that killed 73 people, and his presence in this country has opened the U.S. government to accusations it is harboring a terrorist," the AP writes. "U.S. officials charged him with illegally entering the United States, in a case that could lead to his deportation."
