Maybe it’s just me but does anyone really buy that the Dallas Independent School District didn’t realize that they were not authorized to issue social security account numbers? Has anyone ever seen a government form that didn’t end with “blah, blah, blah, and fine not to exceed $10,000 and/or ten years in prison”? Is the country so utterly ignorant that even our school administrators don’t realize that you can’t make up your own social security numbers, much less steal someone else’s, so that you can hire foreign workers?
Apparently, that is just what the DISD has been doing. Some lucky Pennsylvanian’s, whose actual numbers were “assigned”, might think that their accounts would benefit from this practice, but there is no indication that SS contributions were actually being made to their accounts. And, despite the claim that nobody thought anything was wrong with the practice, since the information was supposed to be withheld from reporting, it did make it to Homeland Security and the IRS when someone, possibly breaking the rules, did background checks.
Hiding information from State and Federal agencies has long been accepted evidence of complete honesty; right?
I remember when it was discovered that my neighbor was helping out the DMV by issuing Virginia Driver’s licenses in much the same kind of humanitarian effort. Some of those “licenses” wound up in the wallets of the 9/11 hijackers. I believe he used the same defense as the DISD.
So, the next time your on an airplane and some dudes with box cutters commandeer it, you can relax; they are probably just Dallas school teachers on their way to a bi-lingual teacher’s convention.
Read this whole pathetic story here.
