However, the data I have seen suggest that most do not. Check out this story-https://news.vice.com/article/unauthorized-immigrants-paid-100-billion-into-social-security-over-last-decade--which references "Stephen Goss, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration (SSA), told VICE News that an estimated 7 million people are currently working in the US illegally. Of those, he estimates that about 3.1 million are using fake or expired social security numbers, yet also paying automatic payroll taxes. Goss believes that these workers pay an annual net contribution of $12 billion to the Social Security Trust Fund."John Weekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069566137451684355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532313388110978122.post-5513348506871721942017-02-11T18:06:57.073-08:002017-02-11T18:06:57.073-08:00Hi John,

It produces hundreds of hours of work for government employees (which you pay for) to resolve these cases. Also, how would you feel if you were the victim of such a fraud? You file your taxes and the IRS says they are auditing you because you ahem a W2 from some place in Dallas that you did not file, and so on. Oh, and maybe someone opens a bank account with your SSN attached to it. <br /><br />John, this is not a victimless crime and there is no net benefit for the US government or the people of the USA.
