The Associated Press reports on the case of Wichita, Kansas resident Candida Gutierrez, whose total identity was allegedly stolen by illegal alien Benita Cardona-Gonzalez. The alleged thief used her identity to get a job, a driver’s license, a mortgage and medical care for the birth of two children.
Gutierrez said, “When she claimed my identity and I claimed it back, she was informed that I was claiming it too. She knew I was aware and that I was trying to fight, and yet she would keep fighting. It is not like she realized and she stopped. No, she kept going, and she kept going harder.”
The theft has forced Gutierrez to spend many hours cleaning up her credit history. She first learned about it over a decade ago when she was turned down for a mortgage. She tried to get the Social Security Administration to give her a new number but Cardona-Gonzalez did as well. The agency ended up issuing a new number to Cardona-Gonzalez and forced Gutierrez to file federal income tax forms using an ITIN, which illegal aliens normally use.
