A string of lies to city, state and federal authorities placed Dolores Rodriguez LaFlamme in a sensitive job at the state Division of Motor Vehicles, through which she allegedly helped drug dealers and illegal immigrants get the valid licenses they needed to hide their identities.
She lied first to the city, when she obtained a license to marry a convicted heroin dealer solely to stay in the country.
She lied to the state by checking off U.S. citizen on her DMV job application.
She lied to federal Homeland Security officials when she told them her marriage was real.
Three years ago at a hearing that led to a deportation order, a federal immigration judge and a government prosecutor saw the potential for a breach of trust at her state job.
Since shed already shown a propensity to lie to federal authorities, the prosecutor asked, what would stop her from taking bribes from people who wanted motor vehicle titles?
LaFlamme said, I wont take it. I wont accept the bribe.
Beverly E. Najarian, the director of the state Department of Administration, said that neither her department nor the DMV were told anything by federal officials about LaFlammes questionable immigration status much less that it had been going on for years.
Did that bother her? Quite frankly, it does.
When asked why Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) never contacted the state, spokeswoman Paula Grenier said she could not talk about specific cases.
Eliot Spitzer will probably put here in charge of his new illegal alien driver’s license program.

Our immigration system is an abolute menace. Either by sheer incompetence or criminal malfeasance, these derilect bureaucrats will greatly contribute to the death of our culture and ultimately our country.
He will!
This is worse than an ID counterfeit ring operating on the street. Shouldn't the ICE bureaucrats be prosecuted for aiding and abetting ongoing felonious conduct? They're part of the problem!
I don't know if I can get more disgusted with these incompetent, negligent boobs than I already am. Maybe we ought to fire the entire lot of them and outsource their jobs to India. At least it would be cheaper to still not get the job done!

You got that right!
