Sacramento Bust Nets Immigration Document Mill

[Ayatollahgondola]

A fairly good bust by DHS and Dept of Motor Vehicles in Sacramento today. Several illegals were producing documents and hawking them at Home Depot and a few mexican stores around town.

The bust was attributed to a report to DHS via the 1-800 number, so keep the calls up.

Oh; and MacAurthur Park got a dishonorable mention too:


Though many of the fakes in the Sacramento case weren't particular good, "they were good enough to pass muster with the general public," said ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice. "In L.A. you went to MacArthur Park if you wanted fake documents – in Sacramento you went to Franklin Boulevard."

So illegals can get benefits here in California? Whoo'da thunk? :rolleyes:


But even the older driver's licenses can be used by undocumented immigrants to "get a job, open up a bank account, start you off for state or federal benefits and make you appear like you're here legally," said Smallwood.

Seems that the United States "Just Loves Criminals". I wonder why we even have laws, they seem to be just to keep legal citizens in line.

Remember when laws were to protect the lawless and now it's reversed.
