Today I went to my friendly gas station in a nearby community that I have been going to for over 20 years without problems. I was told by the manager that they had just caught an employee that was stealing credit card numbers and they were warning customers to go back through statements. Several customers had lots of things charged on their cards and a credit card company had opened the investigation. It seems somehow this employee had also been able to steal checks from some customers and forge them. In the course of the investigation it was learned the employee was an illegal alien. The manager told me when the employee applied for a job she had a Social Security card, and a driver's license, she also graduated from a local high school and spoke excellent English, yet was illegal all along.
That community has been allowing Mexican children to come across the border and attend schools in the US for many years- I wonder how many more there are who are illegal and there is no way to tell unless something like this happens?? Once they are educated here, there is no way to know without a thorough background check.
What ticked me off is the parent company of this gas station refused to press charges, the DA has to build a case on his own, so the crook is not in jail and odds are is already gone and may be working somewhere else stealing credit card numbers. Immigration is supposed to be doing something toward deporting the woman- but I am sure she is or will be gone when all the red tape is done to arrest her.
This whole situation is completely out of hand, I am sure if I were caught stealing credit card numbers and checks I would be arrested on the spot. Amazing how there seems to be a seperate justice system for illegals.
