Snippets:
(1)"Hillsborough County authorities say several area businesses exploited a loophole that allowed undocumented immigrants to obtain valid vehicle registrations." "The businesses apparently instructed immigrants on how to obtain fake IDs and then submitted the documents to county officials, who issued registrations. The sheriff says there is no way to know how many people obtained fraudulent documents."
(2)"Three illegal immigrants arrested Dec. 5 after a manhunt involving Cochise County deputies and U.S. Border Patrol agents were indicted Thursday in connection to multiple home invasions.
Between the three Mexican nationals, they are charged with more than 40 counts, including kidnapping, first-degree armed burglary and theft, Cochise County Attorney Ed Rheinheimer said Friday.
The men were served with the indictment on Friday.
After their arrest, bond was inappropriately set at $15,000 apiece in Justice of the Peace District 4 Court, Rheinheimer said.
When county prosecutors read of the men's bonds on Dec. 8, a call was placed to the court to get the mistake corrected, Rheinheimer said.
Thanks MamaD.
Here in Texas we are definitely outnumbered.
I think our gingerbread house was out voted because they let the employees vote in addition to the guests and housekeeping of course brought in their entire families to vote. They copied the picture on the box rather than being inventive like we were plus they had two days head start. We went out and bought our own decorations.
When I first volunteered to help there were two people who would judge, so an appeal will be filed. LOL
Merry Christmas
