Do not provide amnesty for illegal aliens who have committed identity theft or identity fraud.

We respectfully ask the Obama administration to consider the grievances of hard-working Americans who have had their identity or Social Security number stolen and used fraudulently by illegal aliens to obtain employment in the United States. These were not victim-less crimes but rather have had a profound financial and emotional impact upon tens of thousands of Americans. As the Center for Immigration Studies has shown, "Illegal aliens who commit document fraud, use SSNs that do not belong to them, and falsify I-9 forms under penalty of perjury clearly are not ... law-abiding residents" (R. Mortensen June 2009). While the debate on amnesty will and should continue, please pledge not to offer amnesty to those who have committed identity theft in order to show America is a nation of laws.
