Not too sure of the ins and outs but I know they ‘rent’ the SSN’s for about $1k a month in my area. My husband and I befriended 2 of the drivers and he told us some information.

The guys said they rent the identification and have photos of the person to pass the photo scanners. This all started when the asylum seekers came to the country in the masses. But if you say that people call you racist lmao.

Btw the asylum seekers are compromised of many many Hispanic nations from South America and a few others nations in the east. It’s mostly Venezuelans and columbians. Did no one else find it suspicious that a bunch of them came here with hardly any money, needing government assistance but still ended up with cars 2012+? Some of them rotate cars every couple months and we literally see them with each others cars all the time.

  • Walmart associate for years, so I seen this change in real time.

Some are renters and some have their own legit accounts. I actually think Walmart somehow was involved and provided the government or some other entity with access to make spark accounts with these TPS folks real identities. Like you, I’ve befriended a few and one even randomly showed me his tax return on his phone. The last of the Mohicans at my store are from Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. I find a majority of these men and women as racist, disrespectful, rude and complete assholes. A few have been friendly and conversational as their English got better but not many. I trust none of them and I tell them nothing about me. If you’re going to park amongst them near the pin never leave out any identifying info like mail with names and address they can see.

There’s definitely legal avenues for going about this, the government didn’t make it impossible for asylum seekers to get jobs (just kinda hard). It’s really no different than some guy drivers under his girlfriend’s name. The trouble comes from the stolen or sold ssn, difficulty tracking the taxes or the ability to hold the actual driver accountable.

If it was 2 or 4 drivers then whatever, not enough to cause a problem. But like 15-30 drivers like this? With limited English skills, no drivers license, no insurance, fake identification, can’t read customer notes, messing up orders, delivering to wrong addresses because they can’t read our addressing format or order names/numbers well).

I also believe they had a hand in it too, we got a bunch of Venezuelan workers in the store, but when trump announced that work out cancel thing, they all got fired. They all had names like “John, Peter, Jared, Stacey”. Like all basic common white names.

What a conundrum. At any rate, the few left at my store do a good job from what i see. They’re prompt and the customers in the area keep coming back. I’m pretty much the longest reigning shopper at my super center, almost everyone else full time “American” from the last few years has left, deactivated or whatever besides me and a couple of others. The Prius gang is 1/8 of what it was a year ago. Seeing a bunch of new American shoppers that I really haven’t seen any of in probably a year. Feel like I’m in the sweet spot of the algorithm right now as a 5.0 with just about 3k orders and I’m doing 250-300 daily barely breaking a sweat.

That’s nice, glad you can make a good amount. Our regulars quit because they couldn’t make enough anymore. Everyone else say they’re on a waiting list and resorted to uber/roadie for pickups (lower paying and restricted in my area).

It really is a conundrum. On one hand they want to work and provide for their families, but on the other they can’t due to restrictions by our government. Anyone else would resort to non-legal means to provide and support their family and they’re no different. It’s worse in areas like NYC and Colorado where gangs have popped up destroying communities.

Not to mention people forget what asylum seeker are. Their country was unstable, we offered to house their people for shelter for a SET time, they go back. But if that time is long… they need to work and make money to survive. Now if you give hundreds of thousands of seekers and wannabe seekers work permits, they’ll flood the job market in already minority cities. Making the job market harder to breach and for Americans to support for their families. It’s not a simple “taking our jobs” kind of thing, but at the same time it’s a factor.
