TX police see rise in fake documents among illegal aliens

Odessa, Texas Police Department see increasing problems of fake government-issued IDs being held those believed to be illegal aliens....cases surface on a “weekly and sometimes even on a daily basis,” NewsWest 9 reports. Fraudulent use or possession of identifying information can include having a fake social security card, fake resident card, or fake Texas drivers license.

“If we come in contact with someone or even arrest somebody, we’re not going to ask that person if they’re an illegal alien. However, if it is determined that somebody is possibly illegal, then they basically get booked into the jail and they can be turned over to Homeland Security,” Cpl. Steve LeSueur of the Odessa PD says. LeSueur says it’s usually pretty easy to spot the fakes.“A lot of the times the person won’t say anything, or give a reason or an explanation as to why they have it, but regardless of the reason it’s a state jail felony,” according to LeSueur.

Illegal immigrants recently sued the state after saying their U.S.-born children were denied birth certificates. An illegal from Zacatecas, Mexico, who wouldn’t give her name to CBS, claims the state has denied her request “five times.”

“People never really came forward until we filed a suit,” Jim Harrington, an attorney with the Texas Civil Rights Project who is representing the adult plaintiffs, tells the news network. “Then all of a sudden it was like the doors opened and just maybe a couple hundred people so far have come forward talking about how this happened to them.”

Chris Van Deusen, a spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health Services, says the state’s strict rules exist to help cut down on fraud and identity theft.“You don’t want just anybody to represent themselves as a family member and get somebody else’s birth certificate,” he says.

Meanwhile, back in Odessa, immigration attorney Tatianna Dennis says a lot of the documents are related to job requirements.“Most of the time the main question is really can I work lawfully, so most of the time people don’t even look at the big picture, well I want to become a citizen right away or you know a permanent resident right away, they just really want to be able to work lawfully,” she tells NewsWest 9.

The Obama administration is “rubber-stamping” illegals into the US by the trainload. The practice of latinos “just here for a better life” using multiple identities allows ample opportunity to undermine US ntl security. These “impoverished” latinos buy faked/forged papers for thousands of dollars-——the Washinton state rapist had some 30 identities. Another latino bilked UI of $3.4 million using multiple identities.

NJ BERGEN RECORD CIRCA 2004---Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity (many latinos establish multiple identities in order to ride the US gravy train).

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said NJ state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. After a search, police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####

MEET THE NEW AMERICAN CITIZENS (educated, housed, clothed, fed, transported, medicated, drugged-up, armed and ready--w/ your tax dollars)

NY POST EXCERPT April 2013--- Mexican cartels dispatch agents deep inside US - spread into non-border states DATELINE CHICAGO (AP) — Mexican drug cartels whose operatives once rarely ventured beyond the US border are dispatching some of their most trusted agents to live and work deep inside the United States — an emboldened presence that experts believe is meant to tighten their grip on the world's most lucrative narcotics market and maximize profits.

If left unchecked, authorities say, the cartels' move into the American interior could render the syndicates harder than ever to dislodge and pave the way for them to expand into other criminal enterprises such as prostitution, kidnapping- and-extortion rackets and money laundering.

In Mexico, the cartels are known for a staggering number of killings — more than 50,000, according to one tally. Beheadings are a signature. So far, cartels don't appear to be directly responsible for large numbers of slayings in the United States, though the Texas Department of Public Safety reported 22 killings and five kidnappings in Texas at the hands of Mexican cartels from 2010 through mid- 2011. Still, police worry that increased cartel activity could fuel heightened violence.--SNIP--

In Chicago, narco/cop Commander James O'Grady, said street-gang disputes over turf account for most of the city's uptick in murders last year, when slayings topped 500 for the first time since 2008.

Although the cartels aren't dictating the territorial wars, they are the source of drugs. Riley's assessment is stark: He argues that the cartels should be seen as an underlying cause of Chicago's disturbingly high murder rate. "They are the puppeteers," he said. "Maybe the shooter didn't know and maybe the victim didn't know that. But if you follow it down the line, the cartels are ultimately responsible."
