I was outraged after hearing the story of the CRIMINAL who used a dead person’s Social Security number to try to get a job. I know that's been going on for years, but I still get upset knowing our political "leaders" do nothing to stop it.

What outraged me more, though, were the comments made by Carlos Quintanilla of Accion America. He said it was “pretty low” what the hospital did. Excuse me, Mr. Q, what IS low is using A DEAD PERSON’S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! It’s also a felony.

He went on to say, “It’s not the responsibility of the Carrollton Hospital to enforce immigration laws.”

Here’s where I really beg do differ. OK, Carlos, let me ask you this. What responsibility DOES the hospital have to report ANY crime?

Let’s start my argument off by having us both agree that what she did is in fact a federal offense. It is, and we both know that. So let’s move on to the next part of my argument.

Let’s imagine for a second that the person applying is a legal U.S. citizen and had his or her own Social Security number that was verified as authentic by a background check. Everything is looking good. Now let’s imagine during the interview, or during the second interview, as that person is taking out a wallet to furnish ID, some cocaine spills out of a pocket, or a handgun accidentally falls out of a jacket, or a bank robbery note used in a holdup thirty minutes ago falls to the floor.

Now, we’d both agree the aforementioned scenario also presents someone doing something illegally, right? Right. So, Carlos, are you going to tell me it is not the responsibility of the hospital to report that person to law enforcement?

If you are reading this Mr. Quintanilla and you said “no” to that hypothetical situation, then you need to be in an insane asylum.

Of course, she’ll more than likely not be deported since one of her children was born here (anchor baby loophole). So, might I suggest she be afforded the same treatment I would get for fraudulently using a social security number? The law states that would be a maximum penalty of 5 years in federal prison without parole and a fine up to $250,000 for using another person’s identification and a maximum penalty on each count of 5 years without parole and a fine up to $250,000 for misusing a Social Security number.

I suggest to law enforcement and the legal system to investigate how many counts she is suspected of and lock her up once the trial is over.
