A United States Customs and Border Protection officer is accused of falsely claiming to be a US citizen when he applied for the job, the Department of Justice said.

According to DOJ officials, Marco Antonio De La Garza Jr., 37, of Hereford, Ariz. was charged with three counts of passport fraud and false statements on his federal law enforcement background application.

The DOJ is claiming that De La Garza knowingly used a fraudulently obtained Texas birth certificate to apply for a United States passport. De La Garza is also accused of using the same birth certificate to claim US citizenship during his background check.It is unknown how US officials were unable to figure out that De La Garza's paperwork was fraudulent.

The charges stemmed from an investigation conducted by the Department of State-Diplomatic Security Service and the Department of Homeland Security-Office of Inspector General. The DOJ claims that De La Garza was actually born in Mexico.

Wonderful. We have illegals in federal law enforcement.

[MeganC]

There’s a whole bunch of irony involved for an illegal alien to be helping to catch illegal aliens.

Unless, of course, he was a mole for the cartels and coyotes.

[Pollster1]

Deport this illegal and all other illegals - no exceptions. Deport illegal Cinese, illegal Brits, illegal Africans, illegal Australians, illegal Mexicans, illegal Canadians, and every other illegal in our country.

Bella Pelosi and the Mayor of Oakland fail to see the problem here.

Can we use the same methods to understand obama’s birth certificate?

[ImNotLying]

And next week they sneak back across the border with a new name and new birth certificate. Build the wall.

First, squeeze him for all the information, since he got the false documents SOMEWHERE from SOMEBODY.

Second, squeeze him for any Fast and Furious information.

Third, let the news leak that he was found in a hole with a bunch of Mojave Greens!!! (ala Ragnar)

[Not A Snowbird]

How on earth did he pass his background and polygraph?

[Leep]

How can he be “from” Ariz?

[hal ogen]

I guess the government “workers” who checked his credentials were preoccupied with watching porn at work or screwing each other. Whoever approved his credentials should be fired...and exiled.

[PoloSec]

I think there are many gov’t employees and state politicians exactly like this agent who are yet getting away with it. Probably just me but it seems more than obvious; but don’t dare look into it or challenge in any way, that’s racism.
I guarantee racism will be this agents defense and most likely it will work for him after all what else could it be he was in fact thoroughly vetted by the gov’t was he not.

Thanks Gamecock.

The DOJ claims that De La Garza was actually born in Mexico.

Thanks Gamecock.

[Leep]

Until one of her close family members are murdered and or raped by an illegal, who should have never been here in the first, only then will she possibly understand.
Maybe not even then?

Partner, now u r talking.

I like the term mole that u used since that is what they r. A bunch of despicable anti-America drug peddlers from Mexico, and they sell these drugs to our children in the elementary, junior high, and high schools. You can not get any more despicable that this type of drug peddlers.

The Drug Cartels do this all the time without being detected until it is too late, since they have done so much damage to our children.

President Trump has been one of the only presidents to say something against these Mexican Drug peddlers.

The last American Hating Mooselimb Obama never said a thing against these drug peddlers. I am all in favor of eliminating his pension since he never ever worked for more than an hour as our POTUS. Even the Fake News MSM can not defend this Obama character, but they defend him every single day as well as Miss Hillary.

"Wonderful. We have illegals in federal law enforcement.

Well...Seems to me that we had one in the WH for 8 years and nothing was done about it during those 8 years...

[FirstFlaBn]

Whorealdo is pretty sure this guy was class valedictorian and thus should be allowed to stay. Oh, and he paid taxes too.

[Zathras]

“It is unknown how US officials were unable to figure out that De La Garza’s paperwork...”
Duhhhh, The Internet?

[bgill]

Can you say coyote?
