Social media is one area that has been ignored, but all the hoopla about it will drive the turds underground and they will figure out ways to engage one another in forums without revealing their true identity .... (may be a hooker board!) ..
.. phone records, twitter accounts, facebook pages, websites to which they go seeking information and contacts, phones, and credit accounts are all sources of current information about their activities.
Counterfeit documentation is a major problem when countries lack electronic records, which then requires someone who is qualified and "vetted" themselves. (I can't stand the term "vetted"! Sounds like they are getting keys to a "Vet"!). A major problem with any background check is the "garbage in and garbage out" rule, and then the total absence of "garbage" of any kind either because it was never input or was scrubbed.
Countries with high bribery rates (as a way of life) have sorry record keeping, if any at all, and a lot of these people lack birth records either because they were destroyed in some military operation or to hide their true identity or they just never did the paper work at the time of their birth. Same with marriages and other relationships, including family members.

that occurred in the migrations from S.E. Asia and Korea to the U.S. How many "Nguyens" came from S.E. Asia? How many of them were Nguyens before they "got on the boat"? There are a sufficient number of persons who came to this country purportedly with their parents, but they were not their biological parents, but became so with bought "adoption" that amounted to nothing more than a stamp on a certificate from a "notary" ... with may be some wax to make it look real!
