Federal authorities arrested an illegal migrant Friday for repeatedly lying about her citizenship to land a job at an aerospace manufacturer and US military contractor where she worked for three decades.
Mexican national Alma Patricia Contreras Villafana, 54, of South Los Angeles, was taken into custody by Homeland Security officers after a standoff at the Torrance factory operated by Howmet Aerospace, where she worked as a machinist.
...
Court papers say Contreras Villafana first secured employment at a Howmet subsidiary in 1996 by attesting on her Form I-9 that she was a US citizen. In fact, she had been ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge in 2003.
Contreras Villafana submitted another I-9 this year falsely stating she was a US citizen to keep her job at Howmet, providing a certificate of naturalization number that belonged to another person, according to court papers.
...
If convicted, Contreras Villafana faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison for each wire fraud count, up to 10 years in prison for use of a false and forged certificate of naturalization, up to three years for falsely claiming US citizenship, and a mandatory two-year consecutive prison sentence for aggravated identity theft.

Well, I read an article something like twenty years ago that the LA. police department was full of Illegal Aliens.
When I was a Federal contractor I had to pass a background check. I guess it was not a good background check.

In prison.
The Willie Jeff Klintoon Don’t ask Don’t tell apparently extended beyond the sexual orientation.
I certainly hope that her Roths and other financials don’t disappear.
So do the people who enabled this nonsense
Just doing the government contractor jobs Americans won’t do...
Victim of circumstances, clearly.
Sneak into Mexico
Mexican national Alma Patricia Contreras Villafana, 54, of South Los Angeles, first secured employment at a Howmet subsidiary in 1996 by attesting on a US official Form I-9 that she was a US citizen. In fact, she had been ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge in 2003.
Contreras Villafana submitted another Official Form I-9 this year falsely stating she was a US citizen to keep her job at Howmet. She brazenly provided a certificate of naturalization number that belonged to another person, according to court papers.

<>up to three years for falsely claiming US citizenship,
<>and a mandatory two-year consecutive prison sentence for aggravated identity theft.
Background checks were defeated by wokies in HR. Their position was that overall rules in corporations were overruled by their feelings about things like affirmative action. So, as soon as they identified any APPROVED checkbox the background check/hiring process stopped.
Typical commie trash process.
Since 9/11/2001 we’re all terrorist suspects in need of flock cameras and friskings while THIS is going on!
She could have transferred to Mexico...
Howmet...”Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company operates 27 facilities across the United States, Canada, Mexico, France, the United Kingdom, China, Brazil, Hungary, and Japan”
She did so when Bill Clinton was in office.
in the late 70s the FBI did background checks, that changed in the 90s when OPM was given the job.
“After a standoff.” What?????????? How is it that she and whoever assisted her in the standoff are still alive? This stuff has to be brought to a complete, shocking, horrifying, slap your grandma stop.
My conclusion. Someone knew and wanted her there.
Was she a good machinist? They can be hard to come by.
No retirement or pension given, all assets seized and auctioned off to repay America. Hard labor imprisonment for 50 years and then make her family pay to have her returned to them.
