ain't that motor voter great!

The 61 security officials were charged with violations of federal law relating to U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and Social Security issues. The charges include making false statements; using counterfeit, altered or fraudulent Social Security cards; using false alien registration cards and numbers; using false alien registration information; and making false representations about citizenship status to obtain employment and security badges.

All are believed to be in the country illegally.

The government takes care of everything, thus, they are to blame for this mess. Someone has been asleep for far too long.

How do these people not only get into the country illegally, how do they manage to get hired? I mean, these people are hired by security companies to provide security, and the security companies can't even get proper security clearances for them. What a strange twist.

The US business community has made document forgery into a cute game. No ID? This guy on the corner will get you an Id then you can come back and work. This cute game along with the game of credit card fraud and cupon fraud has created a space for terrorist to thrive. All in the name of below market labor.
