You have no comprehension of how identity theft works or the consequences to those who suffer at the theft of the data. Yes there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of victims of identity theft every year. That's people's families, people's livelihoods, people's retirements - all of that is in Jeopardy when someone commits identity theft.  Criminals are not those who accidentally lose the data, criminals are those who consciously and purposefully obtain and use the information which is not theirs. So yes that woman IS a criminal who deserves to sit in jail before getting deported.
