All crime is a problem for all. Identity theft is certainly less harmful than some things that could happen to you. DUI caused my family far more pain than identity theft ever could - my husband lost his brother to a drunk driver. 

 

I don't understand the OP's obsession with this individual's situation and his posting it on a public forum. If he wants to crack down on people's wrong-doing there are plenty of campaigns he can involve himself in that help many more people. 

I have also lost friends to drunk drivers - including some who were only teenagers with their entire lives ahead of them.

 

What I do not understand is that US immigration continues to grant visas to known criminals (DUI is a crime in my state).  Look at the number of guest worker and student visas that are renewed for people who are convicted of DUI - some even more than once. In addition those guilty of domestic violence and theft in the US also have those crimes "forgiven". (I would never allow a guest worker or dependent guilty of DV to return EVER.)  It is mind boggling that the US government chooses to ignore the criminal past of many they grant entry and residence in the country. These people place all people here at risk. Few drunk drivers get caught the first time they do so.

 

Identity theft has recently affected me personally. I cannot even file criminal charges against the person who charged international airline tickets and hotels to my credit card because the airline claims the name of the traveler is private. What!!!! It is on my CC so how can it not be available to me!!! The dollar value is a FELONY.

the US never grand a SSN to a known criminal.  i am sorry for you losing friends to drunk drivers but this is not in the same category.

DUI is not even a CIMT.
