She should be "under fire".... No wait, check that, the government that allows illegal immigrants to live in, work, and attend schools in our country to begin with should be "under fire"...

We're the government. The government isn't a giant sitting over on some hill.
The illegals were invited here....by their employers.
Find out who's been employing her parents all these years and jail 'em.
How are you unaware that illegals from all over the world run underground economy unlicensed businesses in the U.S., employ illegals while paying no FICA, and pay no federal income tax, etc.?
The girl did nothing wrong except come here and make the best of her opportunity. It's not her fault that she lives in a sanctuary state or that her parents brought her here illegally. You're mad at the wrong person.
Just give her the props she deserves and stop whining about it. She learned English and became a high achiever. I thought that's what what everyone wanted?
That is the equivalent of someone robbing a bank and donating the money to charity. It was not HER money to give in the first place regardless of the intent.
Yeah on top of making employers tax collectors, let's make them be immigration officers too.
Better idea: stop the practice of giving away the people's money on redistribution schemes.
I would certainly do my due diligence being a immigration officer, if it keeps the government off my back and threats of seizing all my personal and business assets.
Employers are already required to get a SS number from a potential hire. What's the difference is they are required to use e-verify? That doesn't make them immigration officers.
People love to complain about all the taxpayer-funded tertiary benefits that are extended without regard to legal resident status. But if we really want to fix the problem, let's address the root cause by cracking down hard on anyone who employs someone who is not here legally, and most of the problem is solved.
Don't let the larger companies escape behind "subcontractor" agreements -- where they can claim they simply contracted another company and assumed they would ensure all the workers were legal. Make them liable for their subcontractors, so that if it is discovered that the subcontractor hired people who weren't legally able to work here, the contracting company must pay costs equivalent to any and all expense that the taxpayers would have to pay for each employee and their family who are in the country because of this employment. Do that for the first offense. Second offense, same financial penalty plus shut them down. Third offense (for those who create new companies and do it again), jail time equivalent to human trafficking penalties.
Just because someone invites you to commit a crime with them doesn't absolve you of the guilt on your part. These illegals know full well that by coming here illegally and accepting a job they aren't lawfully entitled to by using a fake or stolen ID they are breaking the law. Both the employer and their illegal workers are breaking the law and they both must be stopped and are both equally guilty.

Here is the problem and how "employers" are getting around the issue.
They tell the government, they have sub-contracted the work, to a foreign owned business.( no SS# needed, no FICA withheld)
In the construction trades, where the illegals have suppressed wages back to what they were in the 1970's, this is exactly what happens.
They are not employed.
They are paid, sub-contract labor and poverty level piece work pricing set by the contractor, not the sub-contractor/misclassified employee.
How do undocumented kids get into the school system to begin with? The very first thing on the list of required docs to enroll in our school district is a birth certificate. Is it easier in Texas? Do the parents just quietly say, "She doesn't have one"?
