Woman in US Illegally Got $400K in Federal Benefits
Newsmax ^ | May 23, 2025 | Solange Reyner

An illegal immigrant living in the U.S. under a stolen identity received roughly $400,000 in rental assistance, Social Security, and food stamps over a 20-year period, according to the Department of Justice.

Lina Maria Orovio-Hernandez, a 59-year-old Colombian living in Boston, also voted in the last presidential election and obtained a Real ID.

She was charged Thursday with false representation of a Social Security number, making a false statement in an application for a United States passport, aggravated identity theft, receiving stolen government money or property, fraudulent voter registration, and fraudulent voting.

She has been in custody since February.

"For more than 20 years, this defendant is alleged to have built an entire life on the foundation of a stolen identity – including illegally voting in our presidential election and collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in government benefits intended for Americans in need," said U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley.

"The right to vote is one of the many privileges of being a U.S. citizen. Government-funded programs for those in need are intended to be safety nets for those living in our country lawfully – not support an illegal alien without a right to be here."

I sat at the NV DMV three hours past my appointment time getting bumped back as NGO people kept being brought to the front ahead of me with their undocumented illegal aliens to get their real ids and did you know that on the same forms they get registered to vote?

Well, if they had to make two trips, you’d be really inconvenienced.

I, personally, can confirm the same activities in California SF Bay Area DMV offices.

I was able to to get an appointment without the cut in's, by driving three hours, to a Sierra foothills County DMV office.

I didn't quite get to Nevada.

Last year, I experienced the same at a Social Security office in FL. It was maddening.

The real question is: What’s the gov’t going to do to her? It’s time to stop playing Nice Guy and hit her with a punishment appropriate for stealing $400,000. Assuming she could get a job all those years at an average wage of $20/hour, $400,000 / $20/hr = 20,000 hours. Assuming 40 hours per week, or 2,000/year, she should spend 20,000 / 2,000/year = 10 years in jail. Anything less isn’t fair to the American taxpayer.

I thought that you had to prove that you were a US citizen to get a real ID.

Does she have kids? Did she bring them in? Have they graduated from Uni on grants?

There needs to be a whole lot more digging with these criminals.

When the late Lee Atwater devised the TV ads for GHW Bush he made the released murderer Willie Horton a household name. Symbol of the ACLU Commies letting killers go free under technicalities and in his case leniency granted by candidate Dukakis.

This woman could be the same symbol today.
Her neighbors are probably home grown welfare cheats but she is the symbol of the foreign cheaters.

Let’s proclaim this story to all the land.

RE: dont know much about Real ID

The Real ID allows her to take luxury vacation flights in business class without being faced with boring delays.
