What is required of an illegal immigrant to open a bank account? Can
anyone only provide the same information or do you have to look like
an illegal? Also, how do they get around the fact that they don't have
an SSN, if indeed they don't?

By the way, I don't know what an illegal would look like if there were
a sterotypical look, but one could imagine what I mean.

Just to be clear, I am not asking for a "how to" but more "is this
happening?" and how does it happen to fly under the radar if so?
Thanks.

So what you are asking for is how can an illegial immagrant keep
breaking the law?  This seems to me to be a question that Google
Answers would avoid like the plague - a question on how to break the
law.  I fail to see why illegial immegrants should be given driver's
licenses, bank cards etc.  They are here ILLEGIALLY!  Should we change
our laws so they could come here legally?  Yes, but furthering support
of illegials hides the problem and opens our borders to illegials (a
very small minority) who are criminals or desire to do harmful
criminal acts.

I agree, I am wondering how they do it and if they can do it, can I or
you also open an account without the proper credentials? You can't
sneeze without an SSN to get something opened, so how does an illegal
get a drivers license or open a bank account? Do they have SSN
numbers? Do they have some kind of documentation that helps them, or
what? Anyone know or have a link on this would be very instructive for
all of us.
