A telling indication of the scope of the criminality is provided by a little-known government accounting book, the Social Security Administration's Earnings Suspense File (ESF).
- It reflects the earnings of employees whose W-2 wage and tax statements have names and Social Security numbers that do not match official records.
- The data held in the ESF would enable authorities to pursue many of the fraudsters, but the IRS and other agencies responsible for enforcing the law have been reluctant to investigate, and regulations have prevented meaningful information-sharing among them. This identity-related crime is providing a windfall for the U.S. government.
Experts agree the problem will likely get worse as more illegal immigrants cross the border and seek work
- The populist turn of the post-Donald Trump Republican Party is appealing to working-class voters with a strong interest in curbing illegal immigration.
