I hate to be a bearer of bad news but I'm afraid I have no choice to tell you this. I was talking to my friend at work yesterday when I was mentioning when superheros who come from other planets are illegal immigrants and how would they document where they were from. I happened to mention that America's favorite superhero Superman is an illegal immigrant.
1. He came from another planet. When his spaceship crash landed on Earth from Krypton he was found in field by his adoptive parents. Now if you found a baby boy in a field somewhere with no form of ID whatsoever wouldn't you just call the authorities such as the police dept or the FBI. No they just take him in without reporting anything to the authorities.
2. How would you get him a Social Security card, birth certificate, and birth records, when you find a baby from an alien planet in a field without raising eyebrows from government officials? Simply its a fictional universe but i am going to nitpick on this like this is in the real world. Superman's adoptive parents couldn't just adopt a baby that they found without him being put in some kind of foster care first. Legally you could not adopt a baby that was abandoned on your doorstep without the proper legal procedures. So in order to get their baby a birth certificate, Social Security card and other important paperwork they would have to go to someone who forges documents.
3. Wouldn't people who know his adoptive parents be suspicious of where they got the baby? For all they know they could have kidnapped the baby. All of a sudden having a baby would raise questions because the adoption process is a long process with all of the legal stuff.
4. Why isn't the US Government concerned that the fact that Superman is obviously an illegal immigrant due to the fact that everyone knows he is from Krypton? Maybe the government gives amnesty to heroes who are illegal immigrants. On top of that the US Government cannot deport his ass back to Krypton because it exploded. So I guess the government loves American icons so much that they don't care.
He's not an illegal alien. All that stuff you mention about taking a found abandoned baby to the authorities and getting him documented, that's exactly what the Kents did. They first took him to an orphanage and later adopted him. With no fraud or identity theft or anything...just straight up, lawful, honest adoption by an American couple of an abandoned orphan.
