I can't prove a negative. Can you prove that you're not beating your wife?

It clearly states that if they were trying to cause problems and be malicious they would use the SS# of living people.

Is that not your words?

By your own words, they are trying to cause problems and be malicious if they use a living persons number.
I really doubt that they are using a living person's SS number based on maliciousness per se. Their intent is to use any number they can find so they can work illegally and use it for other things that help them get by in this country. I am sure they know though that when they do use a living person's SS number that it can cause that citizen a lot of problems. The fact that they don't care about that is what bothers me.

If you can't prove a negative you can't through it out there as fact.

Whether or not I beat my wife is not a part of the discussion...but another diversion tactic that you are famous for. You use it every time you are backed into a corner.

And knowing the problems it can and does cause is malicious IMO and that of Rhymetime.

OK, fine. Until it's shown that significant numbers of illegals ARE fraudulently using SSNs of living people, though, you can't just claim that's the default assumption. With the information we have now, my explanation is (much) more plausible. I'm fine with that.

Analogies aren't diversions. Though I can see how it might seem that way for you.

If someone uses my car without permission I am still a victime. It matters not at all if they damaged it, if they broke any other laws while driving it. They took it without my permission.
When someone uses a ssn that they were not issued by the government then the gov is the victim, we the people are the victims. It is not a vivtimless crime.
What about if someone uses my house while Im away on vacation? They even clean it for me before they leave. Am I not still a victim?
What about if I died? They used my house as my body is being buried.
Is not my family the victim?

The government is the victim? I mean I can kinda buy that. Except for the part that the reason they do this is to pay taxes.

When one is a victim, that implies damages. An illegal paying taxes he's going to be unable to claim benefits for seems like the opposite of damages. When someone drives your car there are concrete damages in the form of wear and tear, liability, and deprevation of use of the vehicle.

When someone writes a number down on a piece of paper, nobody is deprived of anything.

We the people are deprived. It costs the us government billions dealing with ID theft, tracking down fraud. We the people are most certainly the victim.

You say they pay taxes. And some certainly do. And some receive great returns due to being able to claim wages at poverty level. And to say the illegal is the victim? That is to say the car jacker is a victim because he isn't allowed to use his stolen car as a trade in. The illegal if anything is a victim of their own crimes and dishonest behaviors. In short they are a victim of their own decision making.

It's no different than grave robbing. These sick freaks will search obituaries for some dead child or infant and prey off them, stealing their identities, and it's greed, no different than the greed that has grave robbers stealing jewelry or whatever else they covet from a deceased person. In many ways, stealing someone's identity is worse.

It's amazing you can defend even the most vile actions of illegals in their lust for easy money.
