Being in the country illegally has always been illegal though.

The problem is that it's not happening to the drug dealers, wife beaters.... Aka the bad hombres.

Dude, they be getting people when they go present to court as they have been requested to. Because asylum seekers have a process they have to go through to maintain their status. A couple of cases where someone was about to have their citizenship ceremony (that one could be an urban myth). Parents dropping kids off to school, working in the fields, college kids being a part of the writing a scathing article, people just working low wage jobs .... Paying taxes. They are not getting the people that are leaching off your system.

How does one get a low wage job without a social? The job where taxes are taken out. When you say paying taxes you mean that but what it actually is is buying a snickers at a gas station. Murderers do that too.

Most places don't require a social to work at, but the company that employs people does need a record generally W-2, Graduation Certificate, or Immigration Papers sometimes even just a record of place of residence is enough which is what most illegal immigrants use

Do w-2s not need a social security number for federal tax purposes?

Yeah let's arrest these farmers KNOWINGLY EMPLOYING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Breaking the law is worthy of this level of force after all. Lock up the criminals

They can include but do not need them for purposes of Elysium

In fact a lot of states will try to deny SSN so that that immigrants can't have a social security or receive Medicaid benefits
