MARINE CORPS LOGISTICS BASE BARSTOW, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2005) -- Lance Cpl. Joseph Alvarez, Provost Marshals Office gate sentry, intercepted four illegal immigrants attempting to come aboard MCLB Barstow to work for a civilian contracting company Oct 12.
Alvarez was conducting a routine inspection of the vehicle and passengers, and noticed the van did not have Department of Defense decals or markings.
While inspecting the passengers' identification cards, Alvarez noticed the cards had a different color, a lower print quality than California issued identification cards and the text sizes were not the same, he said.
After noticing these differences, Alvarez asked the driver to pull over to the side of the road, and a more detailed search was conducted. He ran the California ID card number through the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System, or CLETS, which is a shared database between the state and the law enforcement agencies, said Cpl. Rhett Brohas, PMO desk sergeant.
"When I checked the male's ID card number, it identified a female, but the card had a male picture on it," Alvarez said.
Alvarez ran the passengers' ID cards through the system and four of the five cards turned out to be illegal copies. The ID cards came up on the CLETS system registered to other individuals or not registered at all, said Alvarez.
During the search, Alvarez also found a counterfeit social security card, two more forged ID cards and three false green cards.
After inspecting the passengers, Alvarez took the suspects to the Provost Marshals Office. The suspects were handed over to the Immigration and Naturalization Service for further action.
This was not the first time this type of incident has occurred, Alvarez said.
In Nov. 2004 he came across another counterfeit ID card. The driver provided a legitimate drivers license, while the passenger had a phony ID card. Alvarez once again checked the ID number and the search revealed a different name.
"It is a very rare occurrence that something like this happens," said Sgt. Anthony Hernandez, PMO watch commander

I have an idea I wonder what others think of it.
Pass legislation which states that both parents of a baby born in the USofA MUST be citizens of the US or have a valid Green Card (not just a worker's card) for the child to become a US Citizen at birth. If the mother is not a citizen and doesn't have a Green Card and the father does, the child is NOT a US Citizen, but a citizen of the Country of the mother of the child. If the father is not a citizen or doesn't have a Green Card but the Mother is a citizen or does have a Green Card, then the child will become a US Citizen IF the mother requests that the child become a US Citizen AND the father agrees.
Any comments???

But that's OK because they were "intercepted ... attempting to come... to work for a civilian contracting company" and with their fabulous work ethic, some things must be overlooked.

Me too. Clean out the White House and put a CONSERVATIVE in it....
Good point. I agree except that at least one parent has to be a citizen and the other parent has to give his and her consent. For a child to become a citizen just because he is born in this country is absurd. The terrorists must be doubling over with laughter at this stupidity.
They are back out on a US street by now..and out buying new forgeries.
We need the Army to build a POW camp in the desert and start locking these people up for a while before deportation. A few months in the Arizona desert might convince them not to try to run the border again.

I hope these illegal alien lawbreakers get convicted of felony document fraud and end up doing prison time. Then they need to be deported back to their home countries.
Just damn, we need this Cpl. running INS, ICE, or whatever in the hell they call it now.
A novel idea.
Lance Cpl. Joseph Alvarez, a American of Hispanic ethnicity while performing his job as a Provost Marshals Office gate sentry, intercepted four illegal Hispanic immigrants in a manner which makes all Americans proud.
I'm always proud to see people performing their job with strong regard for Oath(s) which they took. Maybe that's why I am ashamed of our President.
I am all for it, but, will take an ammendment to the constitution wouldn't it?
Illegals WITH fake ID's....
There's some other kind???
I agree with your plan, but unfortunately the President doesn't. He's planning a borderless, one-big-happy-family nation from Canada to Mexico. He's never bothered to talk to us about it first.

Bill would deny U.S. citizenship to children of illegal immigrants
