Some undocumented immigrants involved in Mississippi ICE raids allegedly stole American citizens’ identities Login/Join

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - As a person, U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst understands the humanity of those affected by the ICE raids of last week.

“They’re children of God in my view, so we have to make sure and do everything we can to help them. And if they break the law, we’re going to enforce them, but that doesn’t mean we hate them or we’re mad at them somehow,” Hurst said.

As a father, it goes even deeper for him. But working in the world of law enforcement, it’s a familiar feeling of worry he’s felt for years for children of drug dealers, of gang members, of murderers, robbers and thieves.

“Look, as a father of six, I feel that concern about the children, but we need to be concerned about every child whose parent chooses to break our laws,” he said.

That’s the hitch, Hurst says. Each of those detained on Wednesday, and each of the companies that employed them, is accused of doing something against the law. Law enforcement doesn’t make the rules, he said, to those who threaten the lives and families of himself and others involved in the case.

“Folks have problems with our immigration laws,” he said. “But that’s for them to take up with congress. That’s not for taking up with law enforcement.”

In many cases, the undocumented immigrants involved in last week’s raids were allegedly working under the identities of real American citizens.

“Individuals know that in order to be hired, they have to get someone’s identity – real identity – in order to pass various checks,” he said.

Their employers know that, too, he said. And sometimes it’s the stolen identity issue that leads authorities to find employers who aren’t properly checking citizenship on their employees.

They’ll say, “Someone is using my identity in another state. They claim that I work here," Hurst said. "The IRS will send tax bills to individuals saying they had worked at a certain place at a certain time when they hadn’t. So we get these tips from all over the country and we investigate.”

And what about the employers? Where do they stand? Is it that they won’t be prosecuted?

"I think you can look at the record of our office and tell that’s not the case,” Hurst stated.

The plight of the children has been featured nonstop on the media. No mention by the media on the Identity theft issues created. CNN has a story about the Job Fair down the road, and again the poor children. I thought the US Attorney responded well to those issues, and was pleased to see it mentioned by the media.

Salt of the earth, in fact they commit less crimes than citizens do. They just want a chance at the American dream , their only crime was crossing an imaginary line in the desert.

Every American is a possible target for identity theft. What's worse is if your last name is Martinez or Ruìz then you are tenfold likely to have your identity stolen. They aren't stealing names like Schneider or Smith. They are stealing Americans names of Latin decent or random numbers.

They are hurting real immigrants from their home countries that took the time to do it right. Fuck people that have no respect for our laws or don't care about the consequences of stealing someone's identity. That can cost thousands of dollars and ruin lives. No one cares about those victims or any others of illegal immigration.

An over whelming percentage of fraud against Americans is committed by foreigners. I have no official stats but what we see is damn near 100 percent.

Those same media outlets ALWAYS fail to mention that is was the kid’s parent that caused the whole situation, NOT law enforcement.

And yet if you google “illegal immigrants stealing US citizens identities”, there are predictably few hits. Perplexing...
