How soon before another 9-11 happens illegals provided thousands of Missouri identification documents to illegal immigrants through a St Joseph fee office, authorities said. If illegals are knowingly buying stolen documents are they still considered honest hardworking people and any fraud is irrelevant as better life overrides any standing laws ?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Fourteen people have been charged in a $5 million conspiracy to provide thousands of Missouri identification documents to illegal immigrants through a St Joseph fee office, authorities said.

U.S. Attorney Beth Phillips announced the indictments Wednesday and said 13 of the defendants are in custody. The indictment was unsealed Wednesday after several of the defendants appeared in court.

The indictment said the scheme started in November 2009 and involved more than 3,500 identification documents issued to illegal immigrants from across the country.

Prosecutors said three defendants who live in San Antonio purchased state-issued birth certificates and Social Security numbers from Texas residents, then sent them to Missouri. The indictment alleges other defendants went with the illegal immigrants to the license office to act as interpreters, using the Texas documents to get driver's licenses or a non-driver's license form of identification.

The illegal immigrants were coached to memorize information on the birth certificates and Social Security cards.
The indictment said the conspirators sometimes provided transportation for the illegal immigrants. One defendant is accused of transporting illegal immigrants back and forth between North Carolina and Missouri. Another defendant is accused of transporting illegal immigrants back and forth between Carthage and St. Joseph.

Prosecutors said the illegal immigrants paid $1,500 to $1,600 for the licenses, which allowed them to remain unlawfully in the United States and obtain employment.

well, considering we have about 10 million illegal aliens living in the US, officially anyway, by your logic every day would be 9-11. I guess you missed the article on a similar arrangement in Puerto Rico that was also busted. any reason why you aren't happy that these outstanding US citizen government employees were busted?

You cannot be honest if you break the law.
You come to the country illegally or overstay - the honest thing to do is confess to the authorities, tell them where the other illegals are and pay your own way back home. Or continue living in the country illegally which is dishonest by definition.

Only if they use the documents to vote for him. These people "illegally" cross the border, drive without a license or insurance, take jobs with papers they know are false, collect government benefits and yet some fools are sympathetic. They have no regard for the laws of this country. What Is confusing is why some people seem to think they should be allowed to continue to live in this country and become citizens. If I break some laws will I get such support?
