I had to check that I wasn’t reading The Onion as I read this. Are they kidding? Wouldn’t there be complaints if the companies did nothing and were cited by the feds for ignoring the bad SS numbers/names issue?
Immigrant rights group calls for boycott
“The social security administration says it plans to send out 8 million no match letters,” said Martino Unzuerta, Chicago Workers Collaborative.
The initial purpose of the social security administration’s ‘no match’ letter was to credit workers unclaimed social security earnings. The agency routinely sends out ‘no match’ letters to a company when employees’ names and social security numbers don’t match possibly because of a spelling error, omission of information or a unreported name change. But immigration activists say some employers are now aggressively using the letters to fire immigrant workers.
[...]
Groups accuse several companies of the practice using ‘no match’ letters to immigrant workers who don’t have valid social security numbers. They want the public to boycott businesses, including Applebee’s and Dunkin Donuts. Neither company could be reached for comment.
And this are the wackos that are going to vote when you let them and decide the fate of your country. Act now before it’s too late and you get more ignorant, chavez lovers in telling you what to do
They want the public to boycott for this? I think that immigrant rights group has lost touch with reality. The American public will applaud this action.
Usually I don’t go to either place, but because of this I might just go to Applebees in support (haven’t seen a dunkin’ donuts around here)
Ya know it pisses me off that illegal aliens seems to have more rights than someone who was born here. But can it REALLY get any worse than it already is with our voting system? Doesn’t seem to be working anyway so who fucking cares if a bunch of illegals are granted the right to vote. They are counting our ballots anyway. these people are more hard working than I am anyway.
As an identity theft victim, who has been fighting ID theft for 5 years now, I say its about time.
Wait…. hold on… I think I heard my faith in humanity fall down the stairs again. Are the seriously all there? Thats it, america has lost it (not that it has had it in quite awhile). I applaud the effort to fight Fraud in our weak and breaking Social Security system.
Quick kill them they won’t keep the people with illegal papers! Grumble.
Their employers will probably get in trouble with SSA unless they either correct their employee’s SS record, or fire the employee.
SSA has known about this for years. Bush is using the extra change to pave the road to his ranch.
I thought it really simple. If they can produce a valid Social Security card, in their name, then there is no problem. If they don’t have an SS card, then they should visit their local Social Security office and pick up the paper work. If they don’t qualify for a SS number then get out of the country, you are illegally here and ineligible to work.
I’m going to take my family to Applebee’s and purchase Dunkin Donuts for my co-workers more often in support of their efforts.
It just goes to show the real intent of all these immigrant groups, the full and restricted flow of illegals across the border with no enforcement of any immigration laws or any other laws for that matter. Well, not all laws. I’m sure they want the illegals to have all the rights and privileges of citizens. Provided, of course, by the lawfull taxpayers of this counrty.
There real problem is there is no way to identify these illegals when they commit crime. Very few if any carry ID and the ID they do carry is usually bogus. My department arrests them all the time for disorderly conduct and some have tried to use different names each time they are picked up. Unless you happen to recognize them, you charge them under the new bogus name and they never come to court.
Note to self: eat lunch at Applebees this week.
#12, You got it. It’s really all planned up to undermine US citizen’s rights in the US. What better way to weaken the US?
#4 It’s not only about votes, but to create a negative opinion matrix inside the US, to create a great divide inside the country (aside from the one already goign on). We call that fishing in troubled waters.
I’ve gotten these cards. They say that a non-match has no bearing on illegality, and should not be treated that way. Also, cracking down makes the Social Security problem worse. None of these illegals will collect, but they are paying in 5-10% of the money.
BlablablablablablablaMidtermElectionexcuseblablablabla
yousuckersfallingforitblablablablablablabla….
There is a fire brewing, within the illegal community, 13 million or so to be exact are going to be getting protesty pretty soon, due to the fence that is supposed to get set up. The illegals arent going to take the laws being enforced sitting down, thats for sure.
#15, …but they are paying in 5-10% of the money.

Ok, AB, where on earth did you come up with the 5-10% amount? Is that some number Bush and the White House put out? I just know how you never can link your outlandish claims, but just this once,…
oh ok… so the illegals who enter this country and do jobs that no american (other than a wino/vet) would be caught dead doing are now complaining about this??? do they WANT to be forcibly deported?
Thankfully, america doesnt have a monopoly on morons…
MMMM Doughnuts
you have got to be kidding me
