In what is another nightmare wrought by extreme liberals, SCOTUS has been asked to grant illegal aliens immunity from identity theft charges, a crime for which an American citizen would spend years in prison. Their reasoning is that illegal aliens are not by law allowed to get employment in the United States, and they need to steal someone’s identity to work. Should we also exempt bank robbers from gun control laws? After all, they need a gun to continue to be employed in their chosen profession. An American can spend years trying to clear up problems created for them by illegal alien identity thieves.
The United States Supreme Court is expected to rule this summer on a case it heard oral arguments on this week centered around an illegal alien who was prosecuted for identity theft for using a stolen Social Security number to obtain a job.
The illegal alien’s attorney argued that Ramiro Garcia in the Kansas v. Ramiro Garcia case should be immune from prosecution because U.S. laws put in place by Congress makes it impossible otherwise for them to find employment.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt argued on behalf of the state.
“In a typical and recent year, more than 15 million Americans became victims of identity theft,” Schmidt said.” One-third of those had their personal information misused in an employment or tax-related fraud setting.”
“Many of those victims were left to untangle reputations, eligibilities, and other finances,” Schmidt said. “That is why Kansas, like every other state, makes identity theft a crime.”
“Our laws apply in all settings to all people, citizen and alien alike.
Respondents were convicted because they stole other people’s personal information with intent to defraud,” Schmidt said. “But, in Respondents’ view, these state criminal laws that govern everybody else do not apply to them.”
