She was telling the truth?!?!!?

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned the deposition where I uncovered how certain witnesses apparently parleyed their illegal status into legal status. I mentioned what I thought was particularly preposterous testimony by the wife that she had secured a Social Security Number for "banking" which she was able to use thereafter to gain access into the American economy. I mentioned that I thought it was inane to think that a person who was here illegally would be able to acquire a SSN for whatever reason, but that nothing was too inane to put past the American government when it came to immigration policy. I also mentioned how a roomful of attorneys were incredulous about this story.

Well, apparently, she was telling the truth. NRO has a post on "non-work" SSNs, which - surprise! - illegals are using to obtain jobs, even jobs with the federal government.

Amazing.
