The investigation revealed that the plastic laminates, and other document-making implements supplied by Serrano and others over several years have been used to manufacture thousands of false documents. The indictment alleges that Serrano has been intercepted on a wiretap discussing the fact that he has been engaged in the false document business for more than a decade.
Evidence developed during the investigation revealed that the fraudulent documents were utilized by illegal aliens to gain employment, as well as other citizenship and residency related benefits. In addition, the operation supported a variety of criminal activity, in that the false documents were instrumental in the commission of credit and bank fraud, tax fraud, identity theft, and pharmaceutical diversion schemes.
no big deal look at our President...
Illinois was mentioned.
ACORN West
What about those who purchased the “thousands of documents per month?” The article doesn’t mention anything about going after the forgery ring’s customers.
Response from your average network news viewing "american". - "Yeah! How were they supposed to know?"
Good grief.
For 30 years I’ve known that MacArthur Park in Los Angeles is where you go to get your fake California Drivers License, your fake SS card, your fake birth certificate.
I mean who doesn’t know about it? Every illegal knows who to see to get this stuff. It’s a situation routinely mocked on radio here. They might as well have neon signs and search lights advertising where they are.
Evidently only the FBI failed to know what every mojado wandering north has known since their grandfathers went to the same place for their fake IDs.
The ACORN West mention reminded me of this story no longer available

As to why the sudden locking of the stuck on open barn door? You got me. A chinese fortune cookie might remind US, Leviathan only moves to increase power.
I think the Secretary of Homeland security said last week they aren’t lawbreakers.
That must be a lifetime pass.

Just doing the work that Americans don’t want to do. Cockroaches.
Hey, a chinadaily link. Thanks. Maybe there will be a story about how our borders have never been more secure.
And how that river of weapons that originates at Federal Falls isn’t a real problem, either.
Hmmmmm...all Scots Irish surnames, I see.
Thank you for your, as usual, outstanding research!
“The article doesn’t mention anything about going after the forgery ring’s customers.”
These stories are put out occasionally so Americans don’t realize how their country was sold out by our government; the lack of any immigration laws says all that needs to be said. Illegal aliens are welcomed here to deflate wages and provide “customers” for municipalities that have been abandoned by Americans fleeing high taxes (”sanctuary cities”); those same Americans simply receive the bill at their new addresses for this new wave of dependents.
They’ll bond out and be in the wind by this time next week.
