I think that imm: laws state that if meet the requirements you will applly and if successful you would be granted a work visa not sure about social security number.

I would first document your grievances in writing by certified mail. In many states it is illegal to publicize a social security number of someone else. Everywhere it is improper.\n\nFor the rest, the operative word in legal circles is "civility". You have, so long as you are yourself civil, a right to demand that from any lawyer and any law office.\n\nHow far you want to take it should depend on whether your financial interests rather than just your pride are compromised.\n\nAlways see your prospective lawyer in context before hiring him or her. I tell people to visit the courthouse and see them in action, talk to their clients.

All you have to do is go to your local Social Security office with you ID and social security card and request one, you'll get it on the spot.

You can't get married legally in this country without a social security number and some form of government issued ID for the license.  So, in reality, a person who enters this country illegally wouldn't be able to get a marriage license and couldn't legally marry anyone to obtain citizenship.

Call the instution first to verify that they are legitimate.  Why would a foreign agency be asking you for your SSN?  Which is only valid in the US?  Be careful.

How about this?\n\nPenalize (harshly) businesses that employ illegals. Multiple offenses = jail time. \n\nYou should be required to match the social security number to a national database. Social security should be required to assist. \n\nNo SSN = No Job, No Apartment, No Drivers License, No Bank account. Nada, Zip, Nichts, Nunya.\n\nWhen the money dries up, so will the flood of illegals.

Probably none, since a valid Social Security number is required.\n\nWhy not immigrate legally, to avoid having to worry about things like this?

Living in the US and being a US citizen either by birth or naturalized.

You must possess a valid social security number, be able to show-up on time, and do a good job.\n\nHow about, "what are three things you've left out of your question?"  It's just a bit too vague.

I'm pretty sure you need to apply for a work visa.  You can't work legally in the US without a SS#.  Someone else here advised you to get in touch with a US Embassy and that is what you should do.

first you have to be a us citizen and then you have to live in the state that you want the id from and then  you have to show your birth certificate and  your social security number

If you can establish a mailing address under a false name, and if you can get something as simple as a fake drivers license that matches your false name, you can open a bank account in that name. That would be the first step in creating a new identity. If you could also get a fake birth certificate, you could get a real social security number under that false name, or better yet, if you could steal someone's identity, you would be gold - you are what your ID says you are, the only real link to your old life is your fingerprints, and you don't get fingerprinted for jobs, unless you work in a few select industries such as banking.

Do some research!\n\nLess than 1/10th of 1% of illegal immigrants pay taxes.\n\nThe Social Security Card (fake) only enables them to be employed. \n\nYes, to the employer, they claim many "exemptions" - so they have less taken out of their paycheck.\n\nThey learn all about this from those who give them the fake cards.\n\nBut most, simply get "cash" payment from unscrupulous employers, who don't want to pay "matching funds." Same thing holds true for those who "sub-contract" and give them a form 1099 at the end of the year. The 1099 is ignored by the so-called sub-contractor, and the employer if later contacted by IRS, holds up a paper showing a sub-contract agreement. (also bogus). \n\nDoubt seriously many employers who go the sub-contract route, even have to pony up to the IRS.

We already have this, it is called the Social Security Card.\n\nEvery employer can call the SSA and verify the information of a given social security number.  Our government has just made it so difficult to do this that most employers will not take the time.\n\nWhen you are hired for a job, you are supposed to provide I-9 documentation.  You can use a passport, or state issued id & social security card (not just number), or birth certificate & ss card, etc.  \n\nThere are already laws and fines in place regarding improperly documenting your workers.  The problem is our elected officials would rather waste our money & time by presenting completely new regulations (justifying their jobs) instead of making the appropriate government administration enforce the laws we already have.\n\nPoliticians are becoming better and better at doing nothing but creating redundent worthless laws.  And we keep re-electing them.\n\nSo I would NOT vote for this ridiculous limit on my freedom and waste of the American taxpayers' monies.

I dont think illegal immigrants can. In college they ask for social security numbers.

I work at a bank. I know that you CAN open a bank account without ssn (you just have to sign W-8 form which they ll provide to you). However, without a social security number you are not eligible for a credit product (such as credit cards, loans etc). HOwever, you can get a debit card with your checking account and spend the money you have in your account with it everywhere in the world accepts Visa, MAster Card (Assuming your debit card will be one of them).\n\nGood luck.
