More immigration news from Penn.

Illegal Aliens, Criminals Obtain Driver’s Licenses from Corrupt Officials Sunday, June 13, 2010

Charges were filed against the final three individuals in a scheme to make cash payments to state driver’s license examiners in exchange for the issuance of authentic Pennsylvania driver’s licenses as a result of an investigation led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Saman H. Salem, Harold Palmer, and Pierre E. Jean-Louis were charged in federal court with extortion and manufacturing identity documents without lawful authority.Salem is also charged with tax evasion, obstruction of justice, and illegally structuring cash transactions to avoid notice to federal regulators. Palmer is also charged with making false statements to federal agents.

According to the court documents obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police, suspects Salem and Jean-Louis made cash payments to driver’s license examiners and posed as interpreters who assisted applicants in cheating on driver’s license examinations.

Meanwhile, Harold Palmer, a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation driver’s license examiner, took cash payments to issue driver’s licenses. The charges are part of a two-year investigation into several illegal businesses that assisted illegal aliens, foreign nationals, and others in obtaining driver’s licenses, through fraudulent means, at various state driver’s license centers in Philadelphia.

“These defendants are charged with systematically corrupting the process of obtaining driving licenses and putting hundreds of identification documents into the hands of people not eligible to receive them,” said U. S. Attorney Michael L. Levy. [snip]

“Just 22% of voters in the state believe that the U.S. Department of Justice should challenge the legality of the Arizona law. But 58% oppose such a challenge, comparable to views nationally. Twenty percent (20%) are undecided.”

We need to enforce the laws against employing undocumented people and against renting to undocumented people. THAT alone would be a giant step in curtailing illegals here.

If illegals know there would be no work or residential opportunities, they would think long and hard about coming.

“...Republicans are more likely than Democrats to support sending troops to the border....” ~ Rasmussen

B.O. had to run as a “conservative” or he’d never have won the election.

He ran on “lowering taxes” for one thing, and for another, “protecting our borders”:

Barack Hussein Obama 06/23/2007

“....as Americans, we also know that this is a nation of laws, and we cannot have those laws broken when more than 2,000 people cross our borders illegally every day. We cannot ignore that we have a right and a duty to protect our borders. And we cannot ignore the very real concerns of Americans who are not worried about illegal immigration because they are racist or xenophobic, but because they fear it will result in lower wages when they’re already struggling to raise their families. ...” ~~~

As usual, he lied on both scores.

From 2007....

Police break up $31 million Hazleton cocaine ring (Hazleton, PA)

...State Attorney General Tom Corbett said that some of the suspects are believed to be illegal immigrants - a disclosure that is sure to add fuel to the debate over Hazleton's now-defunct Illegal Immigration Relief Act.

We have enough homegrown criminals. We don't need to import them.

I thought you were talking about the NJ-PA border and how the Delaware River is the new Rio Grande.

When I lived there I was told that the purpose of NJ was to keep the ocean away from PA.

Another course to consider:

Match all outstanding WARRANTS against all applicants & recipients of ANY kind of state aid. Walfare—Food Stamps—Medicaid—Section 8 housing—low income school lunches—

ANTHING which comes from states funds.

Mexican drug violence has already spilled into this country.

Ask Robert Krentz’ family.

Our troops should be protecting our borders first - not those of other countries.

Great. I hope the good people of Penn put their money where their mouths are and HOUND their state reps to enact a SB1070.

The ONLY way this will be successful is if state after state does this like dominoes.
