If an illegal alien has a valid state ID, Driver License and a SSN, how will he/she get caught and deported?

Question

If an illegal alien got his/her SSN, State ID and drivers license while they were legal - what is there to indicate if they are illegal or not when being pulled over for example, or questioned by a police officer?

If they have all the paperworks that a legal resident has, how will they get caught?

Answer 1

Somebody who was "legal" meaning entered with inspection is not an illegal alien nor can he become one. He would be out of status. Don't throw around terms of which you don't know the meaning.



Out of Status vs. Illegal Immigrant



1) Out of status

Somebody who entered the U.S. "with inspection" which means with a visa or as part of the VWP. Such a person applied for a visa at the U.S. consulate in their home country. They had an interview and needed to submit a police certificate. They were issued a visa and then they were inspected again before being "admitted" to the U.S., at which time they received an I-94 (Entry/Exit) form in their passport.

The U.S. government knows everything about them; their name, their parents’ name, their birth day and birth place, their criminal history, work history, and even where they are staying in the U.S.



2) Illegal immigrant

Entered the U.S "without inspection" (EWI) by hopping a fence, swimming through the Rio Grande, or hiding in the trunk of a car. The U.S. government knows absolutely nothing about them. Not-a-thing. They could be mass murderers or serial child rapists, drug smugglers or worse.



The difference is easily explained by comparison:



You are having a party. You invited a guy to that party and when the party is over he's still staying. All you need to tell him is to leave, and if he does, you have no problem. That's the guy who overstayed.



But if you don't have a party, come home, and there's a guy who climbed into your house through the back window, and you have no clue if he's just a thief or worse, that's the illegal immigrant. Here you need to call the cops and they have every right to arrest him for a crime.



How would somebody who is out of status being caught? By getting in contact with law enforcement after having broke a law. A police officer will not question a person's immigration status if he has a valid driver's license. But if the license is expired they will book him. And if he was booked due to a DUI or reckless driving or having caused a serious accident, the wheels of justice may get in motion. Somebody who is able to renew his driver's license by mail several times and doesn't have to work for a living or is self-employed may get away with this for decades.

Answer 2

You're talking about someone who had a valid visa and overstayed or something...that's the only way I can think of that they'd have a SSN...



The odds of him/her being caught are quite slim in that situation, particularly as in most states, the police will not ask people who are pulled over about their immigration status - the only thing that would do it is if they got into legal trouble (unrelated to their immigration status) - if its serious enough they could end up deported.



Still this person will likely have trouble with employment. Even if the employer doesn't use E-verify (which should pick it up), the SSA will send a letter to the employer that their SSN is no longer valid.

Answer 3

Generally IDs like drivers licenses are given only for the length of the validity of the visa. Particularly if you live in a state where drivers licenses are valid for a fairly long time it is pretty conspicuous if somebodies drivers license is valid only for a short time. It will be consequently be expired when their visa has expired. So all they have to show is an expired drivers license.



What you are talking about is probably a visa overstayer, not an illegal immigrant. There is a difference as far as the law regards it.

Answer 4

there's no longer something which could. the government and maximum political events have found out this reform is the only answer. short-term visas? -Many have over stayed them. hearth everybody who hires them? -that would placed a extensive quantity businesses in threat, better than everybody could desire to admit. and there is no assure that everybody will implement that act. wreck well-being advantages? -Many already stay without them. Deport the households? -Goodluck convincing everybody to accept as true with that. implement our regulations? -person states will discover loop holes to dodge them. Reform. recommendations to chop back the inhabitants are merely band-aids, we nonetheless have thousands and thousands left unaccounted for.

Answer 5

She probably has a fake social security number-either way with that number they can always track her-that is if our government would do their job!!!!
