We are repeatedly told that the vast majority of illegals in our country are "just trying to make a better life for themselves and their families".
Our opponents don't want to hear that every burglar, rapist, scammer, and murderer want the same thing.
I bet they also don't want to hear that one particular set of Hispanic people are being specifically targeted by identity thieves that then sell the information to other Hispanics.
Puerto Ricans are nearly American citizens but they cannot just leave their island home and live here.
They (mostly) have names that fit an Hispanic face; they live in a less secure environment; their law enforcement is even less interested in ID theft; and they can't even track down the thieves themselves because they are stuck in Puerto Rico.
Puerto Ricans have found themselves in trouble for criminal activity and financial malfeasance done in their names.
ID theft rings have broken into school records, making for a less than bright future for many children of the islands.
Two things are being done by the Puerto Rican government to curb this ID theft that would not be allowed here.
They are unifying their drivers license and increasing the security features.
licences now sell for $100 to $150 (not sure if that is the street price or official one).
They are also forcing 5 million people i the Islands and in the US to re-establish their identities and obtain new, more secure birth certificates.
I wander how busy the US to Mexico border traffic will get after this happens.
