I have to think that both legal and illegal immigrants are sending money back to their homeland, wherever that is. But I don't believe that aspect is illegal. How would you stop it anyway?
In 2013, the Social Security Administration’s Office of the Chief Actuary estimated that more than [b]40 percent of all illegal aliens working in the U.S. were doing so using fake or stolen SSNs.

What does this have to do with migrant workers? You remember the topic of your OP, right? Migrant workers?

It's not, and it's no different from what millions of immigrants have done over the past 150 years, if not longer. The OP is just choosing to be outraged about a topic s/he seems to be a little confused about.

Definitions of Migrant and Immigrant
from Wikipedia
America
About 1/3 of all migrant workers in North America are illegal immigrants from Mexico (5/15 million).
a Migrant worker can be a illegal alien or legal worker
Immigration is the international movement of people to a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle as permanent residents or naturalized citizens.
For some, America is still a land of great opportunity.
I notice the article says migrants, not illegal immigrants. Are you against legal migrants?
Illegal alien sympathizers often blur the lines between legal immigrants and illegal aliens and lump them all under plain ole "migrants". Surely you know this.
In 2013, the Social Security Administration’s Office of the Chief Actuary estimated that more than 40 percent of all illegal aliens working in the U.S. were doing so using fake or stolen SSNs. Elsewhere, the office has put the figure as high as 75 percent. And the crime is as serious as it is widespread.
The Huffington Post? LOL! Doesn't get more leftist than that! There is no proof that Trump "knowingly" had illegals working for him or he would have been charged with it and convicted but don't let the legal process get in the way of your leftist lies!
Posting numbers without context is disingenuous at best, intentionally misleading at worst. That $40B is .191% of the US GDP. We'll get over it. Furthermore, how much tax did we collect (even illegals have to pay sales tax, property tax, etc) from illegal immigrants? Again, stop cherry picking data to further your agenda.
they pay exactly $0 in US Sales Tax.
they pay exactly $0 in US Property tax.
I doubt they pay significant property tax, unless they pay cash for a home.
did I say they weren't stealing ID's? No, I did not. What I said was:
using a stolen/fake SS# at best means they're having payroll taxes deducted. They are NOT filing tax returns under those illegal ID's.
IRS defends paying refunds to illegals who never filed taxes
The IRS is defending its decision to let illegal immigrants claim up to three years’ refunds on income even if they never paid income taxes, telling Congress in a new letter last week that agency lawyers have concluded getting a Social Security number triggers the ability to go back and ask for previous refunds.
No wonder Mexico doesn’t want to shut off the spigot of Illegal Immigration, Mexico gets the windfall while American taxpayers get the bill, for education, healthcare, and housing.
Mexican migrants sent home a record $40 billion in 2020
Money sent home by Mexican migrants rose 11.4% in 2020 to a new high despite the coronavirus pandemic, Mexico’s central bank reported Tuesday.
The illegals have sent trillions of dollars out of our country.. it is no longer circulating in our economy. That is why we have to keep printing more money and we are so in debt.. China gets a ton of money too and they are now building with our money many , many huge all new state of the art cities in Communist China from the ground up making NYC look like a dump.

it's not illegal at all - unless a law was passed requiring some sort of ID showing you're here legally.
