Undocumented immigrants can get an ITIN, and many do. A lot of the time the ITIN will be used where it's allowed (opening bank accounts) and a counterfeit social security card where it's not (applying for employment).
- fooker 3y agoWouldn't that, by definition, turn them from undocumented to documented?
- petronio 3y agoI guess in a pedantic manner, but then they were always documented, since their country of origin knew who they are. In terms of immigration, undocumented typically means you don't currently have a valid visa or residency permit. In that case no, they would still be undocumented, since the ITIN doesn't grant them either.
