[Broad Bill]

If I-9 forms are filled out accurately or temporary work Visas provided, undocumented immigrants will get full credit for withholdings and benefits. The problem starts when fraudulent social security numbers or documents are given employers and when the SSA identifies it and the employer is contacted, the undocumented employee gets out of dodge and their tax withholdings end up in limbo as they can't file a tax return. Seen it happen hundreds of times. The more manual labor a business uses, the more prevalent the problem. The process might not be perfect but it's not the process that's the problem. It's undocumented immigrants trying to circumvent the system without going through proper protocols. Is the government to blame for that and what would you suggest the federal and state governments do with the withholdings when the person involved was employed under false pretenses and can't be found or contacted. Should taxpayers funds again be used to track them down to return money obtained illegally?
