As usual, Tancredo is right on top of the issue. Too bad he doesn't get more help from his far more timid colleagues.

Leading forger of counterfeit identity documents arrested in Mexico

By Dave Montgomery

Knight Ridder Newspapers

WASHINGTON - The fugitive leader of a major document-forging ring that allegedly supplied bogus identity papers to millions of illegal immigrants over the past two decades has been arrested in Mexico, federal officials announced Monday.

Pedro Castorena is accused of heading the family-run enterprise that's dominated the document-forging industry in the United States since the late 1980s, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

He was listed as one of ICE's most wanted fugitives after a federal grand jury in Denver indicted him nearly a year ago on charges of conspiracy, fraud, misuse of visas and money laundering.

The indictment identified Castorena, 42, as a founding member of the Castorena Family Organization, CFO, which ICE said controls bogus document operations in more than 30 states. A Knight Ridder article last month described the CFO network.

"The arrest of Pedro Castorena is a landmark achievement that deals a serious blow to one of the largest fraudulent-document organizations in the United States," said Julie Myers, the Department of Homeland Security's Assistant Secretary for ICE.

Mexican authorities arrested Castorena, who's also known as Castorena-Ibarra, on Saturday night in Guadalajara without incident, ICE officials said. ICE agents based at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City assisted in the arrest.

Castorena had two counterfeit Mexican identification documents under an assumed name, agents said. He was taken to Mexico City and is awaiting extradition to the United States.

ICE has arrested more than 50 CFO figures in a series of investigations over the past six years, but officials believe the organization is still operating in more than a dozen major U.S. cities. Its profits are thought to total tens of millions of dollars, if not billions.

"Do we really want everyone to be required to have a passport to vote!"

If that's the only way to stop illegals from voting, then yes.

For your information, more like 15mil in Southern Cal.
and 30mil+ nationwide:

Come November, there may be some attitude adjustments.

It doesn't seem as if data has any relation to some of the posts on this thread, but:

FROM Census web site:

People QuickFacts Los Angeles County Population, 2005 estimate 9,935,475 Population, 2000 9,519,338

Also, with respect to the post that LA COunty has 34,000 square miles, here, from Wikipedia: Area - Total 12,308 km² (4,752 mi²)

Way past time to cull the herd. Rigid and strict border enforcement is the first step and getting rid of the illegals is the next step.

[Smartass]

The statement made that it is impossible to deport 12 million illegal immigrants is pure BS. First the border is slammed shut; then give the 12mil illegal and their employers a 30 day notice to complete their business; then head back over the border or else.   The or else would mean criminality for both.   IMO, it's just as criminal to do nothing.

I would add a few other measures, like shutting down all of the benefits these bloodsuckers vacuum up, but you're on the right track.

[Smartass]

You're right about bloodsuckers.   Can you imagine how much blood surplus the U.S. would have if 20/30 million straws went South.  As a laugher, have you ever considered how many illegals are factored into the monthly jobs created in the USDOL report?   Better yet, where did the numbers come from?

 

[Czar]

"Better yet, where did the numbers come from?"

Good question.

Too bad he doesn't get more help from his far more timid colleagues.

It should have been included in the bill they passed last year...

[ChildOfThe60s]

Spend the time and effort to remove the currant crop of illegals and stop more from entering and the fraud goes away.

That type of voter fraud would improve, along with a lot of other things.

But we also need to stop dead Democrats from voting, and NY Democrats from voting in NY and Florida. And Dems that drive from one polling place to the next casting their "vote" repeatedly the way a dog pisses on trees.

[JoeA]

It's about f*in time! Heck, you need a photo ID to rent a DVD, but not to vote?
Expect the demonrats to fight this tooth and nail. I'm convinced the only reason they're still a viable national party is because they mine the illegal voting block.

Ya got me on the miles squared, Bo.

However, your official census figures are way off. Ask the city.

The main point remains unaddressed: No one knows how many illegal aliens there are in LA or anywhere else. If you think it's around 10%, go take a look. Or sit in an elementary classroom in Santa Monica.

motor voter bill......
