So then, are they using someone else's account to drive U/L?, or some how getting a so-called "fake" SS card? Im still super confused.
Per the SSA website, non citizens can apply for a SS card. And this company helps them.


And refugees can get SSI.

Oh ok, because I know that knowing English is not (and has never been) a requirement to drive U/L, so...that's another one, that English speaking pax in my market are often surprised to have an English speaking driver, because apparently they get picked up by drivers who don't know it and experience communication break-downs/misunderstanding, etc., which is kinda mind boggling because...I can imagine for example moving to Mexico and trying to grind RS all in Spanish and I dont speak the langauge?, its just seems daunting if not risky.

With that said, I'm genuinely all for the Minneapolis legions of Somalis, Liberians, Oromos and S Sudanese, and St. Paul's Ethiopians and Ertiteans to get behind the wheel and on the road to hustle out RS, rather their sit on their tacos and do nothing...in fact, there was a night last week I had to cancel out on a Walmart pick up for group of college students who had one shopping cart each and no way that could all fit into my little car without committing some kinda of moving violation(s)...within mins of my cancellation one of these drivers rocked up and some how managed to load like 4 carts of groceries in his car which was even smaller than mine (I had to watch).
I couldn’t imagine either driving in a country where I didn’t speak or understand the language. Even in my old market, I had pax say some of their drivers didn’t speak English.

Haha on that driver. 4 carts of groceries wouldn’t be worth the pay.

I mean, yes, I think so....for example, I took a pax to the airport this morning...she had some serious "motion sickness" (don't even ask me how she'll fly!) so had to negotiate level of AC + how many/how much windows were open + car speed, acceleration and braking...really, it was a detailed deliberation, but I working to work with her special needs, and pulled down a generous tip in the process. With little to no English fluency, however, that ride woulda been a disaster.

I'm guessing that both documented and undocumented immigrants in the US who dont know English are pretty content with what they make hustling RS even without tips.
That’s kind of you to be accounting to the pax. And yep I’m sure those drivers are content and don’t care.
