    DACA Recipients Should Make Restitution to Their American Identity Theft Victims



    October 26, 2017

    As my colleague Jessica Vaughn testified before the Senate Judiciary committee:

    t would be appropriate to have [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — DACA] applicants disclose any misuse of Social Security numbers or other personal identifiers so that the system can be purged and corrected, and so that the true number holders can be informed. It would also be appropriate to impose an additional fine on the many DACA recipients who worked illegally before obtaining DACA status and improperly used false identity information. The fines could be used to establish a restitution fund for the victims.
