Illegal immigrant uses stolen identity to get kidney transplant — on taxpayers’ dime

[Harry Dresden]

I think your ranting about illegals speaks for itself, as it always does.

If Canadians were sneaking into the country, people like you wouldn't say squat.

were have i ranted about illegals?....or is this just another of your righteous opinions?...

 

[skye]

He wants a transplant too!

Yes.

 

[Hollie]

Wow, the appeal to the masses, the last resort of a losing argument.

"Other people say you are mean!!!"

I just gave you a source of who is keeping NATIONAL ID from happening.

Leftists screech about voter ID. No way they would b on board for a national ID.

Well, because no one is talking about using it for voting, which is a right, Chatbot.

National ID to identify eligibility for employment and benefits, though, is perfectly valid.

We ALREADY have a national ID. It's called a "Social Security Card". You can't get a job or a loan without one.

The problem is, of course, is we have no way of validating it, which is why stolen social security numbers are such a lucrative commodity.

Too bad about your stuttering and mumbling, Chatbot. A SSN has never been used as a national ID. A SSN is required for a job due to federal tax withholding, not to verify ID.

And this is one we know of, you can bet there are more of these such cases. Stolen SSN's are a huge problem.

An illegal immigrant used the stolen identity of an American to sign up for Medicare and collect some $400,000 in taxpayer-funded care — including getting a kidney transplant that would have gone to a U.S. citizen.​

​

Jeremias Otoniel Herrera Rosales, who is Guatemalan, spent more than a decade living under the name Daniel Glenn Guerra. He wasn’t able to hold a job due to his poor health, but he did live off government assistance that he received because he was using an American’s identity. ​

That included getting the kidney transplant in 2019, paid for by Uncle Sam.​

​

He was sentenced this week in Sioux City, Iowa, to 16 months in prison.​

​

Prosecutors said — and Rosales admitted — that meant someone else missed out on the chance to get the kidney.​

​

“The defendant took and received an organ transplant under a false identity from someone else that otherwise would have obtained it,” Ronald Timmons, an assistant U.S. attorney, told the court.​

​

Rosales was convicted along with his wife, Jennifer Guadalupe Herrera, and Jaklyn Guerra, her sister. Both women are U.S. citizens. They were sentenced to a one-month imprisonment.​

​

All three were ordered to pay a total of half a million dollars in restitution.​

​

The stolen identity belonged to Guerra’s son, who lived under another name most of his life and was surprised to learn someone was using his real name, according to the investigator who pursued the case.​

​

At some point, the identity victim confronted Rosales, according to court documents.​

​

Investigators also confronted Rosales in 2020. They figured that would put a stop to his fraud.​

​

When they went to arrest him last year they were surprised to find he was still using the stolen identity and collecting Medicare benefits.​

I don't really know why he went through that much trouble. The dems would have gladly given him free healthcare.

The illegal could have gone to California for free trenny surgery.
