Illegals & Fraudulent Documents

Necessity is the mother of invention. In the case of illegal immigrants, necessity is the mother of counterfeiting. The photos below are from Michelle Malkin's Immigration Blog. These are just a paltry sample of the vast underground of counterfeit documents that pervades the illegal alien "community" (for lack of a better word).

Advocates of illegal immigrants use the phrase "undocumented worker" to describe illegal aliens - sounds nicer. However, as can be seen in the photos, they are certainly not undocumented. They are brimming over with documents - that just happen to be counterfeit.

Illegal aliens show no respect for this country's laws in the first place by entering illegally. They further demonstrate their disdain for our laws by using phoney driver licenses, social security cards, employment indentification, resident alien cards (green cards), etc. Comes with the territory of being an illegal alien. One crime leads to another, & another. The documents are not only used to establish a false identity, but also to outright defraud government & tax payers of benefits they are not entitled to.

Document counterfeiting is a pervasive enterprise. Illegal alien demand for such documents feeds & expands the criminal element that provides those phony documents. False identity can have a national security implication if those with such documents have access to sensitive areas of the country.

The common use of counterfeit documents by illegal aliens is a side of the immigration issue that few are really aware of. Few employers or others who require identification are knowledgeable enough to be able to readily identify the counterfeits.
