Stimulus welfare and illegal immigrants

I can't add much more to Mark Krikorian's commentary on the issue. I recommend reading it. The details aren't important; what is important is the general theme of how our federal government is completely unprepared to deal with the issue so they just want to throw amnesty at them:

To sum up — hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are going to get checks from this ridiculous stimulus package. But it's hard to argue that trying to plug that specific hole will fix anything — the problem is that the IRS issues tax ID numbers to illegal aliens (numbers now widely accepted by banks, mortgage companies, etc.) and that the IRS, Social Security, and Homeland Security aren't authorized to cooperate in rooting out and apprehending illegal aliens. Not to mention that the Social Security Administration is actually barred by court order from informing employers that they have people on their payroll with fake or mismatched SSNs.
