House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said that the House may still consider the ENLIST Act as a stand-alone bill. This legislation, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA,) would give amnesty to illegal aliens who enlist in the military. Prior Boehner's statement, the House leadership had refused to allow this bill to be attached to the National Defense Authorization Act. At present, the military has no shortage of citizen volunteers. Letting illegal aliens enlist would prevent citizens from serving. Some Washington observers believe that the ENLIST Act could be a vehicle to take the Senate's amnesty mass immigration bill to conference committee and enable it, or a bill with most its provisions, to pass.

Dale Wilcox, executive director  of the Immigration Law Institute (IRLI), says that identity theft from American citizens by illegal aliens is widespread. Wilcox noted that "Studies have found that it affects children the most.  .  .  [I]llegal aliens prefer to use children's Social Security numbers because [a] child .  .  . won't apply for a loan for years, so the illegal aliens probably won't be caught for decades possibly. A lot of Americans are being harmed by this. These poor kids, when they go to get their first school loan, they've got criminal histories .  .  . and bad credit. This is not a victimless crime."
