This is interesting. How can there be 14,000+ comments and 1,000 downloads and no comment thread initiated by anyone? If it is true that one does not have to have a SS Card it still would be in the best interest of the citizen to practice the rules and guidelines of our nation. Perhaps a reason for such volume on thisarticle is that there are those who would be seeking this information for duplicitous reasons and/or to enter this country illegally and earn wages without paying the national tax.
