Illegal Alien Scam in Virginia

Twenty-six arrests have been made in a widespread counterfeit and fraudulent document operation in Virginia and Maryland which supplied green cards, driver's licenses, passports, Social Security cards and other identification to thousands of illegal aliens from Indonesia. According to U.S. Attorney Paul J. McNulty, the documents were used to fraudulently collect money and benefits throughout the United States.

The charges resulted from a two-year investigation of the Chinese Indonesian American Society, the Asian American Placement Services, the Kumala Nusantara, and the Chinese Indonesian Pribumi Community Service. Phony documents were prepared for the illegals who were also coached on methods to scam government bureaucrats such as asylum officers and immigration judges.

It's probably safe to speculate that a "guest worker" program, as proposed by the current administration, would not prevent or even minimize illegal alien document fraud. The only way to preclude illegal aliens from committing fraud in the U.S. is to beef up the border and keep them out of the country.
