Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Yoho), and I would add that, one of the things that crosses my mind, as I talk and listen here this evening, is that the Social Security numbers, multiple uses of a single number--it might even be all zeroes, and all zeroes might be used a thousand times in America, or more. So I hear these stories, and some of the employers will say: Well, we have followed all of the laws that we are required to follow. But common sense isn't something that we hold them accountable for, apparently, and so the Social Security Administration, under Barack Obama started issuing no-match letters. {time} 1800 No-match letters used to go out to say this Social Security number that you are using isn't a match. Then it should go to the employer, too, and I believe it used to. I understand that the Trump administration may be picking that back up again and issuing the no-match letters, but that is not where it should stop. That is where it should begin.
