The written statements made by witnesses at the March 16, 2006 House Social Security Subcommittee hearing on Social Security numbers and Social Security cards has now been posted online. It is clear that the Chairman of the Subcommittee, Jim McCrery, has a huge interest in decreasing illegal immigration by imposing strict limits on the issuance of Social Security numbers and, possibly, in turning the Social Security card into a relatively tamper-proof national identification card. The workload involved for SSA in making the Social Security card relatively tamper-proof would be enormous and might make the agency into a very different agency.
