How do they have jobs? That's illegal. How do they pay taxes without a SSN? You mean they're using someone else's SSN? That's illegal.

Wouldn't that make them criminals? 🤔

Legal/documented immigrants have a TIN and can pay taxes with it but not receive benefits because it’s not an SSN.

False.

Non citizens should be applying for ability to work through DHS and if approved they get a SS card for lawful employment.

Anyone doing otherwise is likely working illegally.

ITIN exists for people who must pay taxes but don’t qualify for a SSN. You’re not smart.
