I believe that there is a large and vastly unreported element of criminals. Keep in mind that any good criminal, like a good businessman, grows and diversifies. I think we will wake up one day with a large organized crime problem which got its start with the false document business.I think we're already there. I can't prove anything, of course, I am not an intelligence agency unto myself, but I'll just bet that a lot of the fake ID's the 9/11 terrorists had were obtained from the Mexican counterfeiters already in place.

Do the math. One million illegals per year times the $90 quoted in the article (an amount which strikes me as very low) totals $90 million per year.
Maybe not a huge industry, but not peanuts either.
