What do supporters have to say here Illegal Alien Uses Stolen Social Security Number to Get Unemployment?

Postby colfre » Thu Feb 23, 2012 10:42 am

A man who was reportedly living in the U.S. illegally admitted yesterday that he misused a Social Security number to receive unemployment insurance compensation benefits from the Connecticut Department of Labor, according to authorities.

The man, Timo Jimenez, 40, a citizen of Ecuador last residing on Fillmore Street in New Haven, waived his right to indictment and pleaded guilty yesterday before Senior U.S. District Judge Ellen Bree Burns, said David B. Fein, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut. After pleading guilty to the single count, Jimenez was sentenced to six months of imprisonment, time served. He was also ordered to repay the more than $20,000 he had fraudulently received, according to court documents.

Jimenez was reportedly living in the U.S. illegally when, between February 2007 and October 2010, he falsely obtained the benefits by using a Social Security number that did not belong to him. Jimenez was working for a New Haven area excavation company as early as 2004, authorities said.

In February 2007, November 2008 and December 2009, he filed claims for unemployment insurance compensation benefits from the state. He reportedly supplied false information on those claims, that he was a U.S. citizen and that the Social Security number used was his.

Based on his false claims, the state Department of Labor sent Jimenez a total of $21,746 in unemployment insurance compensation benefit checks. Judge Burns ordered Jimenez to pay full restitution.

According to a press release from Fein’s office, people who do not have a Social Security number or are not lawfully entitled to work in the United States are ineligible to receive unemployment insurance compensation benefits that employers pay to the Connecticut unemployment fund.

Jimenez’ actions were reportedly discovered during a criminal investigation related to undocumented workers fraudulently seeking and receiving unemployment insurance compensation benefits. That investigation, in 2010 and 2011, was undertaken by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General (DOL-OIG).

Jimenez, who has been detained since his arrest on July 7, 2011, has been transferred into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will be deported to Ecuador.

Let's face it, illegals break laws in order to better their lives, in the USA, we call those people criminals and rightly so. We are all human, some humans crap on the laws of other nations, no bueno.

when they work at a place and earn money part of the money goes to govenment programs just like your check. They dont have the advantage of using that money later you do. Now tell me who is getting the better deal?

Not all illegal immigrants follow the laws. Neither do all US citizens. There are plenty of good, hard working US citizens and illegal immigrants alike who follow the law. The question that should always be asked is: What gives us the right to say that an entire racial group should stay on this side of an imaginary line and keep away from our side? Aren't we all human?

Also, have you heard that Georgia farmers want to use prisoners to fill the job gap after illegal immigrants fled the state? http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/georgia-may-use-prisoners-1195152.html Looks like prisoners are stealing the jobs now.

P.S: Wow at all the negative votes and above response. I'm not even much of an emotional person, yet you guys must not be human.
