NEWARK - A Jordanian man admitted yesterday to a judge that he recruited dozens of others to commit credit card fraud over a seven-year span, said officials from the office of the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.

Ali Qaraeen, 49, an illegal immigrant from Jordan who has resided in Secaucus, Fort Lee, Clifton and West Paterson, conceded that since 1995 he recruited people to perpetrate credit card schemes resulting in about $6.8 million in fraudulent purchases of merchandise and cash advances, said Robert Kirsch, the assistant U.S. attorney handling the case.

Awwwwww, ain't that cute....

Just another undocumented worker pursuing the American dream.

If we had more Americans willing to commit credit card fraud, we wouldn't have to depend on undocumented workers to take such jobs--that Americans won't do.

I wonder which border he crossed getting into the country. Maybe he flew in legally like the 19 illegals of 9/11 in 1995.

His big mistake was in not getting a Mexican consulate ID to do his illegal banking with.

Nothing to be concerned about with people from Jordon!! They are a peaceful, loving and kind bunch. And don't start ranting about how easy it is to enter into this country by those who wish us ill.

Everything is fine, alright? Just fine...

Or one for every day of the week, or two ro three for every day of the week!
