identity theft is sometimes committed by illegal immigrants who use social security numbers belonging to others in order to obtain fake work documentation. in 2009, the u.s. supreme court ruled in the case of "flores-figueroa v. united states" that illegal immigrants cannot be prosecuted for identity theft if they use "made-up" social security numbers that they do not know belong to someone else; to be guilty of identity theft with regard to social security numbers, they must know that the social security numbers that they use belong to others.
