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.

Illegals are in a dilemma, if they get an order to leave the country they will never be allowed back, legally. If they go home and apply for legal entry into the U.S. it will take years. But, if they stay here there is always a chance that Hillary or Huckabee will become president and they’ll be on the gravy train.
Ping!
Whoa
“There’s no mention if the illegals will be deported.”
Most are given a court date, and they never show up.
Stories like this lend further strengthen my belief that the next terrorist strike will have nothing to do with passengers or those entering the terminal....instead it will be fake workers with fake IDs.
Which makes the whole TSA hokey pokey futile.
The security guards themselves are probably illegals.
Mary Gurin bieng the CEO of the company and not part of the office personel is looking at 15 years in jail and Ms. Benitez skipped off to mexico. Mary did not know they were illegals because Ms. Benitez hired the employees inlcuding Elvira Arellano, the women who hid out in that church.
“This is insane. These illegals need to face long prison time before
they are deported to Mexico.”
In a sane world, that’s what would happen.
But now we live in the world of the Dubya-liberalDems-La Raza
No Borders cabal.
These guys won’t be prosecuted for employing identity theft in order
to get their jobs.
Assuming they present a recent ruling from Tennessee and convince the court.
Newport couple faces taxes on income never earned ( IRS and Illegals on ID theft )
