It is possible to have a SS number without having permission to work. My wife's SS number predates her work authorization--her original SS card said "Not Valid for Employment". They will issue a number to anyone who needs one for interacting with the US financial system.I like how the term "undocumented immigrant" is used like "leper". We're expected to recoil in horror to learn that an undocumented immigrant might be allowed to have nice things in America.
If the new bill is passed or signed into law, undocumented borrowers would be able to apply for the housing loan. However, they would be required to have a valid Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number in addition to meeting existing legal residency and documentation requirements.
Apparently an undocumented immigrant and a documentless immigrant are not the same thing.
Has anyone explained this? How can one be a "legal resident" with "required documentation" but also be "undocumented"? Is this due to some conflict between U.S. and California law?
Anyway, I'd probably oppose such a law: Let's work on immigration policy rather than encouraging outlaws. More importantly, why give the Trump-Putin axis yet another "excess wokeness" example to bamboozle the gullible ignorati?
The problem is "undocumented" is used when "not having work permission" is actually meant.
