Mexican document dealer sentenced to prison

A Mexican national was sentenced this week to more than two years in federal prison for supplying stolen citizenship documents and information to workers at a Hyrum, Cache County, meat-packing plant, which was later raided by federal agents as part of a nationwide operation against illegal-immigrant workers.

Led into court in a blue jumpsuit with her hands and feet bound in chains, Veronica Carrillo sat calmly as she listened through a Spanish interpreter to her sentence for selling naturalization or citizenship papers.

U.S. District Judge Paul Cassell said that, under the charge, he was required to sentence Carrillo to a mandatory two years in federal prison on top of any other prison time. Carrillo faced a total of 36 months, but Cassell determined 29 months was more appropriate.

Through an interpreter, Carrillo asked the court to consider her children and her poor health. "I will leave the country and never come back again," she said.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Kennedy said Carrillo was a "major supplier" of fraudulent citizenship documents, which she and Eleuterio Gutierrez sold to the workers at the Swift & Co. plant. The plant was raided by federal agents last December, and 158 people were arrested. The raid was part of a larger operation involving Swift plants across the country, in which 1,297 people were taken into custody.

Just two? Enabling aliens to be able to vote should get the noose.

"I will leave the country and never come back again," she said.

Yeah.
Right.

(The LEOs of Charlotte, NC have been checking immigration status
of everyone they detain for about a year. They've been shocked at how
many of their detainees are illegals that have previous been "deported".)

But, but, she has children!!! Who she's probably trained to lie, cheat, steal, as well.

Enabling IDENTITY THEFT? And creating Gawd-Only-Knows how
many ID-Theft victims?

I'd vote for the maximal term in a SuperMax.
With the indeterminate threat of a death penalty for felony murder
if one of the illegals she helped is convicted of murder.
Anywhere on the planet.

Yeah, I know that's a fantasy, but I can dream!

[omega4412]

I agree. Anyone supplying false ID should be considered an accomplice to any crime committed by any of the illegals.

[dennisw]

10 years minimum.
2 years is nonsense

“I will leave the country and never come back again,”

And of course, we can hold her to that promise once her prison time has been served....right?

[texastoo]

Only two years. What a crock!

[HiJinx]

I wonder...is this considered a white-collar crime?

Now where have I heard that before, what about you crop of illegal kids.

[texastoo]

I don’t know. This is a Bush appointee judge. Naturally, he sides with the illegal. Otherwise, he is conservative. He is the youngest judge in Utah.

[texastoo]

I said he was conservative. I take that back. From what I have read, he believes in euthansia.

Well, this is Harry Reid’s state we’re talking about.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Veronica Carrillo will never return but Veronica Villa or
Maria Carrillo or any other name Veronica Carrillo will fake.

[Tammy8]

I think she should have considered her children and her poor health before she chose to break the laws. Now I have no sympathy, she needs to go to jail.

“Kennedy said people whose identities were stolen have found out that their personal information was used several times by people across the United States, creating chaos.”

Get a rope.

Don't you just love how some still insist that illegal immigration is a victim less crime?
