Yours truly picked up a pax in Minneapolis this weekend who genuinely surprised that I'm "actually from Minnesota" because, she said, most of her Uber driver are immigrants (doesn't surprise me) including a significant number whom are undocumented (this surprised me!), and begged the question....

Per the SSA website, non citizens can apply for a SS card. And this company helps them.

Can Illegal Immigrants Get a Social Security Number in 2021

Can Illegal Immigrants get a social security number and how long does it take to get a SSN? Here's the useful information for undocumented immigrants...

itin.com

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 had a driver in Las Vegas on Lyft who was here on vacation from Brazil, driving a Hertz rental on Lyft, no Nevada drivers license, no business license, state or county, no backgriound check, said what a great country, he just walked in, they gave him a job and a car, the extra income helped him extend his vacation here while visiting friends. Said his next stop was Germany to see friends, hoped he could do the same thing over there with whatever company was available.

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.

That may help your tips. I’d think some pax were be nervous and frustrated if driver didn’t speak English.

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.

You can't be illegal and pass a background check. You can get a soc sec # that way you can pay taxes and get more free stuff. They can track you. Most states give them dl's to keep track of them, like tagging wild animals. 😜

Can we get that system for some of the UP member? To tag and track them?

Jeez, so many innocent posts and gullibility, it chokes the shit out of me.

Forget what anyone tells you, Yes, illegals drive and compose that vast majority of drivers in certain markets (given only an immigrant would drive for that), it's but a walk in the park for them to establish an uber account via methods I created to get myself "unbanned" many times, Uber turns a blind eye cause they actually enjoy the cheap labor and constant surge of morons willing to be their 12/7 slaves.

The fact they don't have documents doesn't make a shit of difference when it comes to making accounts, at this point I believe my original methods may have been refined into works of art from what I heard half a year ago from a friend who still drives Uber, they are even able to tap into Uber's rental system, which is hilarious because if they crash, the lawsuits could result in monumental settlements for Uber, but I think they mitigate that by just taking responsibility and keeping it hush, you wouldn't want the news to find out that an illegal crashed while being your Uber driver, would you? The boogieman would have it's pound of Uber flesh in any future business.

They don't crash; they're better drivers than @Screwber driver north and I (well, at least better than one of us!...)

Ugh no, illegals barely know how to drive, they have never driven in their country because they couldn't afford a car, illegals =/= aliens.

My neighbor is an illegal alien and has done all of the major gig apps at one time or another without issue. It’s about $3000 but you can get a real SSN and birth certificate from a dealer. Included in this price is a compromised DMV employee that is going to make you a legit state ID and/or driver’s license without the correct diligence.

I was an assistant manager at a restaurant in the 90s in this same thing was available back then but it was only like $500. On my best workers Miguel was caught and deported like maybe five times in three years but he would always come back with another $500 and then he would tell us to call him Jose or maybe next time he’s Joachim.

Sounds like an opportunity for [undocumented] partners to earn more!

Illegals can certainly drive rideshare. The reason I’m doing this shit is because I’m laying low because of a party I went to a couple Januarys ago that got out of hand. My fake ID literally says Rampage. Once this witch-hunt dies down I’m back in the real workforce.

I'm just so glad that what I managed spread here has caused such massive damage to Uber ever since the first time they deactivated me, I even gave them fair warning one time and an ultimatum, they didn't comply? Well, you now lose a ton of money and manage to invent a new threat to your business for years to come.

Yes. Sí. 是的. ਹਾਂ.
Many states in the USA do issue driver licenses to illegal aliens.
Legal citizenship is not a requirement when applying for gig work with Uber/Lyft.
What easier way is there to keep those 3rd-world shithole wages suppressed right here in the good ol' USA??

Wrong!!!
They will get a drivers license,not a social security number,which is required for rideshare and the background check.
Without a green card you are not allowed to work.
Also need 2 years of driving experience if I remember correctly.
And a car by the way,which I dont see the illegals carrying one over the border.
