Wait, you're telling me that The New York Times actually covered an illegal alien who committed a crime?
There's got to be a catch, right?
"They both paid the price"????
Here's how The Times covers the crime of identity theft committed by more than a million illegal aliens:
His case was one version of a problem that's been spreading across the country for years. The government estimates that as many as one million undocumented workers are using fraudulent or stolen Social Security numbers — a survival tactic used to pass background checks and get jobs. The numbers are skimmed from data breaches, sold in black markets online for as little as $150 or handed out in border towns by human smugglers. Many numbers connect back to U.S. citizen children, dead people or Puerto Ricans whose numbers circulate easily across the mainland
Yes, you read that right.
A survival tactic used to pass background checks and get jobs.
It's identity theft!
A million illegal aliens directly destroying the livelihoods of a million Americans through stealing their identity, and the NYT calls it a "survival tactic"??
I dunno know, man. Maybe they should just go home where they don't have to use illegal "survival tactics"?
Some years the other Dan Kluver had earned more than his own salary at a local sugar beet factory, which pushed the total income under his Social Security number into a higher tax bracket as the debt started to mount.
The illegal alien is making more money than the citizen, and he's making the citizen pay his income taxes!!
(Are these the hardworking immigrants doing jobs Americans won't do?)
Kluver filed multiple identity theft reports, for years, and got nowhere because the problem is so pervasive.
They spent the next decade living with the consequences — annual tax audits, budgets that never added up, whispered arguments after the kids went to bed. Kluver kept calling government numbers and waiting on hold until he eventually resigned himself to a payment plan. He agreed to send the I.R.S. $150 each month, which he'd done more than 35 times. 'I can't keep obsessing over this and getting nowhere,' he told Kristy. 'I need to think about something else.'
So he's been paying taxes for an illegal alien for an entire decade because if he doesn't he gets thrown in jail.
And when it comes to the one illegal alien in the story...
He had lived under enough names and numbers in the United States that they started to blur together. Vincent Trujillo. Reynaldo Guerra. And then, for more than a decade, Daniel Kluver — the name he used until he could barely remember what it felt like to exist as himself: Romeo Pérez-Bravo, 42, a Guatemalan immigrant who had spent most of his adult life working under borrowed identities ...
Remember, The Times wants you to know this man is the victim here.
He came in as a 16-year-old boy after all.
He's one of the "Dreamers"!
The first years were lonely and exhausting. He started to drink, which led to a string of D.U.I.s and other minor offenses. He was deported back to Guatemala in 2005, 2008 and 2009, but each time he returned to the United States and purchased a new ID for work.
You know, maybe this guy could avoid loneliness and heartbreak and DUIs if he had just stayed home in Guatemala any of the three times he was sent back?
Some of the Social Security numbers were connected to child support or other debts, which meant his paychecks were garnished. Others were flagged as suspicious by H.R. departments. He sought out new documents from the black market, sending a few text messages and then meeting a middle man on a street corner in Nebraska to pay in cash. This time the Social Security card was for Daniel Kluver. Perez-Bravo didn't know if that person was fake, or dead, or a victim of identity theft, or somehow in on the scheme. But the number worked at a succession of factory jobs across the Midwest ...
And just like that, he ruined the real Dan Kluver's life.
And then came a detail from a police report that Kluver couldn't shake. In the summer of 2022, the other Dan Kluver had been driving to work in St. Joseph when the serpentine belt broke in his car, causing him to lose control at a red light and collide with a grandfather and his 9-year-old granddaughter as they rode on a motorized tricycle. The girl sustained minor injuries, but the 68-year-old man flew off the bike, broke his pelvis in two places, struck his head and died.
Yes, fake Dan also struck and killed a grandpa ... a grandpa who wouldn't have been killed in front of his granddaughter if our border laws were enforced.
(Still feel like the illegal alien is the victim?)
The driver stayed on the scene, praying and cooperating with the police as he handed over a license and registration for Dan Kluver. He was cleared of any wrongdoing. The crash was ruled an accident. But the victim's family had filed a wrongful-death lawsuit — with Kluver listed as the defendant.
'It just keeps getting more unbelievable,' Kluver told Kristy. 'I can understand doing whatever you have to do to provide for your kids, but now somebody's death is attached to my name?'
Here's how grandpa-killer Fake Dan has been living in "terror" since Trump took office the second time:
Oh, did I mention that the alien's church tried to shield him?
