ATLANTA - A new controversy is swirling about the Kennesaw State University student whose status in this country sparked a firestorm over immigration. Jessica Colotl has been given a social security card even though she has not been granted citizenship.

Colotl is able to work, as well as attend school and the government, with the social security number will be able to keep track of her earnings for Uncle Sam.

Colotl's immigration status may be in limbo, but she has been able to obtain a work permit and some other government documents given to U.S. citizens, such as a social security card.

The Kennesaw State student has become a lightning rod for the national immigration debate. It all started with the revelation that Colotl received in-state education funding assistance even though not a legal resident.

A team of attorneys are working through the issues.

Due to privacy issues, representatives from the Social Security Administration said they cannot discuss her case.
