Letter body: 

Crossing into the U.S. illegally is not immigration. You are then called an illegal alien. At this point you are violating federal laws. Then to apply for free stuff with false information is another law broken. Then to get a job using a false or stolen Social Security card is another broken law. It seems to me the IRS and SS do not care much, as long as the get their money. Do employers of illegals submit all taxes and SS? Who knows?

It just seems to me that the illegal alien problem would be easily solved by just making it too expensive to be caught employing one. No jobs for illegals, there would be no reason to come here.

Maybe if we stop making it easy to get free benefits in this country, the legal folks would be more willing to take a job. This country needs to stop rewarding people for bad behavior and help the people who want to improve their lot in life.
