Immigration Laws Created Employment-Related Identity Theft - Since November 6, 1986, everybody seeking a job in the United States must fill out an I‑9 form at the point of hire to supposedly prove that they are legally allowed to work in the United States. The new hire must show the employer some documents that corroborate the information on the I‑9 form, copies of which the employer must keep on site. This requirement has had multiple negative effects. Working in the United States is extremely valuable but government immigration laws make it very difficult for foreigners to do so lawfully. Most illegal immigrants have to work on a legal or false identity in order to earn a wage, which incentivizes identity loans and identity theft.

Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas-29) sent a bipartisan letter thanking the Biden administration for promptly granting Acting Governor Patrick’s request for a major disaster declaration.
