Napolitano's unilateral amnesty for 'Dream' illegal aliens now is amnesty for lawbreaking employers and for identity fraud

We're getting answers to some unanswered questions on DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) memo that went out in June. And the answers to those questions, not surprisingly, aren't very good.

One question addresses concerns from illegal aliens who have used fake, stolen, or borrowed Social Security numbers. Reports have indicated that some have been reluctant to apply for the temporary amnesty because the application form asks to list Social Security numbers they have used.

This is a significant issue because it allows the alien to legally re-enter the United States freeing them from the 10-year bar they would face should they become eligible for a green card. Current law subjects illegal aliens who have
