Badges?!?
Posted on 11/07/2007 2:09:06 PM PST by charles m
More than 20 workers were arrested today at O'Hare International Airport after authorities said employees at a suburban staffing agency used fraudulent security badges to gain access to unauthorized areas of the airport.
Many of the workers arrested were illegal immigrants, authorities said.
The eight-month investigation led to the execution of a search warrant today at Ideal Staffing Solutions, 170 N. Pine Lane in Bensenville, and the arrests of two managers there: Mary Gurin, 36, of Carpentersville, and Norinye Benitez, 24, of Franklin Park, according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Each was charged with one count of harboring illegal aliens for financial gain and one count of misuse of Social Security numbers for allegedly assisting the workers in obtaining unauthorized access to secure areas of the airport, including the tarmac, the statement said.
Gurin, a corporate secretary at Ideal Staffing, hired Benitez and signed her airport badge application, despite knowing that she was an illegal immigrant from Mexico, authorities allege.
According to criminal complaints unsealed today, Ideal Staffing managers told workers they needed identification to work at O'Hare, but that the documents did not need to be legitimate. Federal authorities allege more than 100 temporary workers employed by the agency were in possession of fraudulently obtained airport security badges, which allowed the workers to gain access to secure areas of the airport while loading pallets, freight and meals for companies doing business at O'Hare.

Huckabee: “What about their children?”
If they are mexican, because there is no such thing as hispanic, they have large enough families back in the mother country to take care of the children.
Don’t worry, They will be replaced soon by 20 more illegal aliens ...
My concern is illegals working at our airports who have access to vacant planes (maintenance, cleaning, stocking, etc.) that are not from Mexico. I’m referring to those that got to our country by accessing the open border - from the Middle East.
Huckabee: “What about their children?”.... continuing, “after I’m elected, I promise to change the laws so that illegals here illegally will be legal...and those here legally will be illegal...problem solved! “ Huckleberry smiles ear to ear.

Nice, just cleaned up one millionth of the problem.
There’s no mention if the illegals will be deported.
This is alll too confusing. NY state can give illegals drivers licenses, but these poor folks offer them work and they're gonna be sent to the pokey.
And they've been working there how long ?
And airport security doesn't include people who have access to unauthorized areas?
?Guess they're too busy harassing little, white haired, old great grammas with tiny tubes of water colors in her luggage...

Gee, it is against the law...just like hiring them.
No, the CEO and this woman's management chain need to spend some quality time in Joliet.
Someone in our lily livered, PC government better show some cojones soon or it’s going to be to late.
Right. That was MY exact reaction!
Probably 10% of the illegal personnel at O’Hare.
