<prompt> Human: Hey, so off the bat Im not interested in our views of immigration, ect. What i am interested in is how people with no social in the states go about common finance tasks legally. I have a social and am fairly finance savvy. When those ask me for advice who have no SSN, Im not really sure what guidance to give them. I wouldnt want them to go to any predatory businesses that would rip them off. Here are some examples: How to finance a carHow to start a business i.e. Mechanic shopHow to go to college even with a work permit, out of state seems to applyHow to get a mortgageThanks  <response>: You just cant do most of those things legally if you yourself are illegally in the country. No bank will finance someone without a credit record which you cant establish without a SSN.

But the trouble would probably come in paying the illegal immigrant as its illegal to hire an illegal immigrant. Some illegal immigrants try to establish themselves by getting and using an ITINNone of this is legal advice - real legal advice should only be given by a lawyer knowledgeable in your local laws. Refer these people to a lawyer who might actually be able to help.
