Illegals may be stealing your kid's social social number!!

DOBBS: This nation's illegal alien crisis has triggered a serious nationwide identity theft crisis. And when our officials talk about identity theft, they seldom mention illegal immigration and the role it's playing.

Prosecutors tonight say illegal aliens are increasingly stealing Social Security numbers from America's children.
In their efforts to work in this country illegally,
illegal aliens are jeopardizing the future of
some of our youngest citizens.

Kitty Pilgrim reports.



KITTY PILGRIM, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): According
to tax records, this little girl in Utah was driving 80
miles a
day to work in a steakhouse. She's clearly not doing that.
Her Social Security number was being used by an illegal
alien
for work papers. Her mother was outraged.

KELLY SMITH, MOTHER: That somebody could buy my daughter's Social Security number without any of us knowing, that
it could have gone on for 16 years, we were lucky that it
got caught when she was 5. But it still went on for five years.

PILGRIM: The attorney general's office uncovered the fraud
and called the family, but Utah estimates at least 80,000 illegal aliens live in the state and a growing number
are using stolen Social Security numbers for work papers.
For Utah, it's a newly-discovered crime that has grown
in the last five years, but now the crime is epidemic.

RICHARD HAMP, UTAH ASST. ATTORNEY GENERAL: In the year 2000, 132,000 Utahns had had their Social Security numbers compromised by someone else using them for employment
purposes, more than likely mostly illegal immigrants that were
here using them. That was roughly about 5 percent of the
Utah population back then, which is a huge number.
There's no other crime that I know of that affects 5
percent of the population at once like that does.

PILGRIM: Utah began aggressively pursuing Social Security
fraud when it found widespread abuse in its public assistance program. The federal government hasn't been nearly as aggressive.

KIRK TORGENSEN, UTAH CHIEF DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL: I am
just dumbfounded that we as a government can sit back and
know that that information is there, know that that
individual, the legitimate person with a number, could be victimized,
may be being victimized, and that we're not doing
anything to notify that person.

PILGRIM: The national office of the Social Security Administration says numbers from children are often
stolen from medical paperwork when they are infants.
Children are targeted because discrepancies are less
likely to turn up until they look for a job in their
teenage years.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

PILGRIM: The Social Security Administration today
told us by law they're not allowed to contact people when
their number is stolen. They say it would require
Congress to change
the law for them to be able to inform people when
they've been victimized. So people can go for decades
without
finding out -- Lou.

DOBBS: Did the Social Security Administration tell you
what law prevented them from doing that?

PILGRIM: Actually, they did not.

DOBBS: The fact of the matter is, I think the Social
Security Administration is, to put it politely, full
of it. And I think they're rationalizing a failure to
safeguard Social Security card holders.

PILGRIM: They told us they can only speak to the IRS
about it, that's it. But I believe that it's more
complicated than that -- Lou.

DOBBS: Well, certainly our Congress and our president,
who have at least some time on their hands here to
deal with this issue, might want to deal with this rather quickly.

McCain hangs a right, heads to Falwell's country


WASHINGTON - Blessed are the political peacemakers, for they shall inherit . . . the White House?

Sen. John McCain's graduation speech this morning at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University in Virginia is not just an olive branch to a Baptist preacher whom McCain described six years ago as among the "agents of intolerance" corrupting American politics.

It's a symbolic outreach to millions of religious conservatives who could be crucial to the Arizona Republican winning the GOP presidential nomination in 2008. Some of them doubt his commitment on social issues they view as important, such as same-sex marriage and abortion.

Mccain to be in Maine on May 21

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Emery calls the Arizona senator’s planned visit May 21st “a tremendous boost” to his campaign. Emery faces two rivals in the GOP primary June 13th. Both Peter Mills and Chandler Woodcock are funding their campaigns through Maine’s taxpayer-financed Clean Election Act.

Donors will pay 100 dollars for general admission to the McCain fundraiser and 500 dollars to attend a private reception with the senator.

McCain, who lost the Republican nomination for president to George W. Bush in 2000, has been traveling to different states to help party candidates raise funds. McCain’s been high in the polls for his expected run for president in 2008.
