It sounds like Ridge is doing all he can to encourage this practice of dealing in fraudulent documents by promising good things to anyone who does it.
Now's a good time for all of us to get some of these phony documents. It's obviously not a serious crime anymore --- and you could receive a few extra Social Security checks by establishing a couple of illegal alien identities who would likely be able to receive a check.
Start by getting a few matricula cards ---- easily gotten with a small bribe from a Mexican Consulate workers. Or just steal some from an illegal.

It's not a crime for Mexicans. They are about to reap some pretty substantial rewards for doing this.

They're doing the work law abiding American citizens won't do.

It's booming in Las Vegas too. Lot's of illegals here. I can go into the North end and buy virtually anything if I have the cash....even a welder's permit.
