How do Mexican immigrants living in the US get SS #'s for their kids?  Or can they?

Her kids can only receive financial aid if they are legal. If they where legal they would all ready have SS #'s. If they want to attend college they would have to pay out of state fees for attending college and they really are high even for junior. The fastest way for her kids to go to college is for her to become a resident before they are 18 years old. If she has been working here for a couple of years she is able to apply for residency. Which will most likely take anywhere from 1-2 years for her to get residency and her kids to automatically become residents.

If someone doesn't have a Social Security number (SSN), they can apply for a Individial tax identification number (ITIN) through the IRS.  Only people who are not able to get a SSN would be eligible for the ITIN (i.e. undocumented workers, illegals).  Before my husband got his INS paperwork straightened out (he was illegal), he had an ITIN.  It has the same amount of numbers as a social, but it normally begins with a 9.  This number doesn't mean that you are legally allowed to work, but it allows you to file taxes....I hope this is what you needed.

No. If they don't have a social security number or any paperwork showing they are awaiting one, they do not go through court and waste the taxpayers money. They are deported. Any immigrant who has earned citizenship knows how important it his to have verification.

So, let me get this straight, you are blaming an illegal alien (or what you think might be an illegal alien) for your families failure to plan for your own future?  Social Security was NEVER meant to be a catch-all.  It was mean to be a supplement.  (That is why it is called supplemental security income).  All Americans must fend for themselves in retirement.  Lets face it, people my age (45-55) won't get a red dime from SS.  If we are smart, we save. \n\nOur problems are not caused by illegal aliens.  Our problems are caused by ourselves and our own inability to plan.  Your parents made the decision to send you to parochial schools even through they could not afford it.  That is like buying a Porche that you cannot afford when a Chevy will do just fine.\n\nWe are all in charge of our own destinies.  This is the only real right we have in the US.  We make our own decisions and need to accept the consequences of our decisions, both good and bad.\n\nAs far as the illegal.  I don't support their right to be here.  If caught, they should be deported.  However, no illegal alien makes a dollar off of social security and yet quite a few pay into the the system.  Believe me, some of the jobs taken by illegal aliens are very hard work - work that 99% of us would not take (ever been sprayed by pesticides every day? -- that is the life of a farm worker making $8 an hour)\n\nAdditional:  What about YOUR obligation to your mother?  I help out both my mother and grandmother by paying some of their bills, paying for any extras, etc.  YOU have an obligation to your own family.  YOU want to government to pay for something that YOU should be obligated to do on your own.  We all need to be responsible for our extended families and less dependent on taxpayer handouts.  \n\nI am doing pretty well myself, but I buy generic brands as well.  (they are not that bad)

You're going to have to lay hands on your birth certificate. You'll have to take that to the DMV first, and get a lisense/ID, because you have to have a picture ID to get a new SS card.

SS helps cover different situations.  Disabilities, survivors, etc.  Depending on why you are on SS, your children may or may not be able to get money.  But any money the government paid them would not off set the child support.  You would still be obligated to pay that as well.\n\nYou can call SS to ask about them getting money, but you will still have to pay child support.

Your SS # should be on your license.  Just go to your local SS office and apply for another.   Take your license and birth certificate.

International students do not get social security numbers, since they are here on student visa.\n\nOnly U.S. citizen, permanent residents (with green card), and temporary (working) residents (with work visa) are eligible for social security numbers.

Mexicans are neither hard workers nor are they family oriented.  Mexico has over a 50% unemployment rate and, despite being the third richest economy in this half of the world, is still at the level of a third world country with regard to infrastructure.  This represents multi-generational laziness of a magnitude hard to grasp in an industrious, responsible society like we have in the US.\n\nIn the US, a full third of mexican immigrants are on welfare.  Roughly a third of the prison population here consists of illegal immigrants.\n\nWith regard to family values, mexican immigrants have the highest rate of broken families, almost as many children out of wedlock as blacks (which is saying alot) and the highest rate of family violence, especially serious family violence such as murder, rape, incest, felonious assault, assault with weapons etc.  Mexicans here have the highest drop out rate from school.  The highest teen pregnancy rate.  The list goes on and on and on.\n\nMexican immigrants are of EXTREME poor character.  They are lazy, don't hold down regular employment, use up much of the welfare system and are responsible for about half of the crime in this country.  They don't create stable, caring families and their children tend to enter a life of crime.  That is the cold hard facts of the situation.\n\nHere is an article with various demographic studies that shed light on the siuation:\n\nhttp://www.amren.com/0403issue/0403issue.html

mlewis51 is correct, they do forge papers.  My mothers former employer didn't even know they had an illegal working for them until his family had a fire in their apartment so he was out of work for a few days dealing with the red cross and temporary housing.  During this time Social Security called them up and they found out he was using 3 different people's social security numbers, none of them belong to him & he was an undocumented worker who was here illegally.  The company tried to contact him to see if he was coming back to work and all of a sudden he fail off the face of the earth, couldn't call him, find him, nothing.\n\nThe website that mlewis51 listed is a very good organization to look up in regards to illegal immigration.  You really should check it out!  I get information via email from them all the time, I try to help out when and where I can, etc.  It is very informative!

I don't care.\nIf you wan't more benefit or make more crime more than them just do it.If you want make more baby just do it.\nJust as you know to get benefit you need valid document and valid social security number.\nWhy you don't blame to them because the didn't inspect carefully?What for they get paid for ?For chat and gossip at jobs?\nAnd why you need to post this garbage?\nThis blog is for question and answer not for sarcasm and hatred.Or maybe you just want to show of how incopetent you are and let people around the world know how american full of hatred.\nEven if they deported already then who you wanna blame?Blacks or Jews or American Indian.?\nAnd do you thing we don't know about this webs.\nUseless!\nWake up!!And do something positive!Follow the rules and law other wise just shut up.

I have recently run into the problem of getting a cousin into the States permanently from another country.\nI've asked around at work to other who have immigrated and heard some of the most ridiculous stories you could possibly imagine.\nOne girl had a similar problem as yours.\nHer legally married husband was already an American citizen and gainfully employed in a decent paying medical profession.\nBut it was still not enough to get her here.\nShe and her family were privately informed to get all of her PARENTS property, i.e., their automobiles and bank accounts transferred into HER name alone.\nWhen the records were checked...not delved into, just checked...she was admitted immediately.\n\nThey only wanted to prove she was not destitute and become a welfare recipient.\n\nShe assured me that after the proof of income in the bank accounts and two cars, it was never mentioned again.  And the money was NOT substantial.  Her mother was a secretary and her father a machinist.\n\nAfterwards they just transferred everything right back into her parents name as before.\nIt took three months.\nShe, of course, immediately became a naturalized Citizen upon her arrival to the States to forego any future problems.\nShe's been here for 6 years with no problems whatsoever.\nShe even found employment immediately... at a 7-11 down there street from me ran by a Filipino woman...neither really spoke English.  LOL\n\nBest of luck to you friend!

Unfortunately not, you have to fill out a form and bring identification documents to your local SS office.

Yes they do use other peoples social security numbers. (everyone who is involved with this particular community knows this for a fact) otherwise none of them would be working at fast food joints and other places that require an SS number in order to work. Someone could be using your number right now, so get a credit report.

Depends on the state, but the state bureau of vital statistics will probably accept a driver's license or similar ID to request a birth certificate. There is probably a written request form, and a fee.  I have to get birth/death certificates occasionally, even for other people, and it is fairly easy (if slow) to obtain them.  I've had to ID myself, but not with an SS card.  Good luck!
