Contreras, who presented the false documents, was arrested for identity theft. However, the police could not prove the other three people with her were in the country illegally, and after repeated attempts to contact the Immigration and Naturalization Service, they had to let them go.
Butler County Workforce Center manager David Bassett said the boldness of the illegal immigrant's actions did not surprise him.
“Especially since we are a free service,” Bassett said.

The center is a resource for those who might be searching for a job, exploring career options, ready to earn a high school diploma, seeking training, updating skills or needing economic support.
“This is an employer-paid service,” Bassett said, “Our employers pay taxes for this service, and we really try to look out for our businesses.”
For Bassett, looking out means making sure people seeking work have the identification that is mandatory on an employment eligibility verification form, in which businesses have three days to verify whether an employee is authorized to work.

Bassett said there have been a couple of incidents where people used false identification at the center. He said the last incident was a couple of years ago.
“We don't get much,” Bassett said, “it tends to run in cycles.
“We wouldn't have caught it (this time) if the number hadn't been registered to another person. She came up as a black male veteran.”
Identity theft? There's no reason for that to be a crime!
Senator mccain has their pardon coming right up!
Wonder if this is related to the data "lost" by the VA.
Identity theft? yeah, it's called amnesty
Was listening to a sound byte of the President telling us about the great job of enforcement ICE is doing while I was reading this. Guess the article is wrong...NOT.
Actually, it's officially a "banana" now...
The following briefly explains why illegals creep across the desert and perpetuate the lie that they are doing so-called "low-pay jobs Americans won't do."
The US taxpayer is subsidizing aliens' every need 24/7, morn til night: Using multiple phony SS #'s, forged documents, and multiple IDs the invaders collect multiple $4500-$5400 EICs from the IRS by declaring several names/jobs - just by going $1 over the income limit. They also line up for EINs, ITINs, Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit, welfare and food stamps.
US Taxpayers are subsidizing invaders' daily food intake, housing, reduced mortgages, free medical care, free education, reduced in-state tuition and out of state tuition. We also foot the legal bills when they start suing if we don't provide these goodies pronto......etc., etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
The 423 pp monstrosity Senate bill (secretly written in El Presidente Vicente Fox's hacienda assisted by reconquista groups) provides that invaders will be paid a prevailing wage, Earned Income Tax credits, medical benefits; housing benefits; WIC; anchor baby citizenship; legal representation and amnesty from back taxes owed.
The Senate atrocity does not meet Constitutional muster b/c Vicente, and the reconquistas, could care less about the US Constitution. They want only to get their greedy hands on the US treasury and to take over the US government with the vote, or by violence, if necessary (their own words and signage at the recent protests).
All of this explains why aliens will do anything, pay anything, endure anything, to sneak over the border to get so-called "low-paying jobs" They have extortion dancing in their criminal heads......plans to rip-off US taxpayers every which way they can.
.....and billions of our tax dollars go back to Mexico where El Presidente Vicente gets a nice chunk of it---and so do the federales in Central and South American banana republics who help their compadres cross the border.
Since INS couldn't be contacted, the criminals were let go. If an American tried to pull something like this in Mexico, the American would be thrown in jail. Yet, our govt permits businesses to operate in this fashion. Unbelievable!!!!!
I wonder... if I'm working at the workforce center and discover an illegal alien, what's to keep me from putting the cuffs on them and driving them back across the border myself when Immigration is "too busy" to pick them up?
BUT; you can register to VOTE in most places in the United States.. especially in BLUE States, countys, citys.. even in most RED places..
And very few people CARE...even republican officials..
2006 and 2008 portend interesting times..
They're claiming the identities Americans are just too lazy to claim.
Nothing. Just be prepared for a lawsuit that'll take away your ranch, dressing and all....
If you can't prove somebody's legal, then you can't prove they're illegal either. We're going to have to get over our distaste for a national biometric ID system, or just accept that anybody who can sneak over the border can stay here (and vote).
Citizen's arrest? Actually, make that a "responsible citizen's arrest".
I'm just doing the job the government won't do.
Odd. Sudden rash of arrests. The American people might start to believe that government is actually enforcing our laws... /s
They pay more attention to who smokes where and wears seat belts than they do the border. Come into the country illegally and takes someone else's documents, nada. Poach a geoduck and get 10 years.
The government has (the knife at) your back.
I'm referring to the rancher who detained two illegals crossing his own property and was sued and lost his ranch to them, knowing the two were illegal and were trespassing.
In SOME states, citizens' arrests and detentions by citizens are very, very restrictive, limiting them strictly to the interferance into stopping immediate felonious criminal activity - so you'd be best to consult your state's statutes to be sure. Also, it might be wise to know exactly what felonious activity you have witnessed and are attempting to arrest if you do decide to undertake making CA's.
