Texas: Three admit trying to sell immigration documents to Iranians

Three capitalists sell the rope by which they will be hanged. "Three admit trying to sell documents to Iranians," from the Brownsville Herald, with thanks to Kemaste:

February 24, 2005 — Three members of an alleged ring accused of attempting to sell fake immigration documents to Iranian nationals pleaded guilty in federal court to various counts of fraud and identity theft.

Port Isabel residents Roberto Aburto, his wife Azalia Gaona, Miriam Palestina and Rutilio Marquez are accused taking $1,050 to make fake Social Security cards and green cards in August for three Iranian men.

Aburto, 31, Gaona, 27, and Palestina, 26, were arrested during two Sept. 9 raids in Port Isabel, but Marquez remains at large and is presumed to have fled to Mexico.

According to federal court records, the ring’s activities had been monitored by the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement and the Social Security Administration as part of an ongoing investigation.

Between Aug. 2 and Sept. 9, the group allegedly agreed to make nine sets of fake Social Security cards and green cards for undercover agents for $2,770.

With their own countrymen stabbing them in the back , is their any wonder islamic jihad has got a foothold in America???

In my view this is tantamount to treason, these frauds may be in this for their own benefit, but the end-game is the same : Enemies of America are being smuggled in by it's own citizens.

Not so fast rikki,with names such as they have they are not our fellow countymen but proof as to why we need to better protect our borders.

Wonder if they are legal aliens or illegal aliens?

What became of the Iranians who solicited the illegal documents in the first place?

Very poignient Rikki,people do make mistakes its how you cope with them that matters and learn that experience is the best teacher is quite painful an experience but we do continue on.

The immigrant status is unexusable whether they are muslims or mexicans here and the justice department's handling of this.They have more rights than a citizen and will be represented by thousand's of do-gooding lawyers wanting to make a reputation for themselves,the most damning scenario's take place is when they offer you a deal you cant refuse,many(myself)have opted for plea bargains and acceptance of the most humiliating sentences handed down,without money you are a victim of circumstance however if you hold the "status Quo" things are put on hold for you or if you happen to be of the illegal persuasion things are much easy for you.
I followed a lead from Amomo4u about conspiracy charges and muslims and have found out about Diplomatic Immunity,seems it would be against the rules to treat them as us so they are afforded better accomadations at an astronomical cost.

"Miriam Palestina" and "Azalia Gaona"? No, this cannot be real, can it? Even the most confirmed agelast will have at last to laugh.

More proof of why our borders need to be sealed and protected a hell of alot better than the Bush (and all previous administrations) has done.

What's that President Bush? Still pushing that amnesty proposal?

This is a very big but very common problem in my state. A banker I know deals almost daily with illegals. Many of the illegal aliens speak openly about buying their Social Security cards, acting like it is the normal way of doing business. If you call immigration, it is treated with indifference.

Please, folks, the postmodernists have done it again; they succeeded a long time ago in turning "capitalism" into a euphemism for "fraud," "mean-spiritedness," "dog-eat-dog," and dozens of other like terms.

Capitalism is none of these things. "Capitalism" is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned.

It is a social system where all human relationships are voluntary, where people are free to deal with each other nor not, by means of persuasion, discussion, and contractual agreement, by voluntary choice and to mutual benefit.

In a free society, there will certainly be those who engage in fraud, deception, and the initiation of physical force (those are the means by which individual rights are violated).

In a less free society, a mixed one, the violations of rights via fraud etc. increase, and in a totalitarian society, they max out--the government itself becomes the worst offender.

This is another, but expected, grave mistake of our government-run schools--the villification of capitalism, so that the knee-jerk emotional response will be "that is a bad thing." It is a major component of the Left's plan to destroy America, and convert it into a collectivist, eventually totalitarian, country.

Bravo, cubed!

Democratic capitalism, as Fukuyama puts it, represents in a certain sense, 'the end of history'. In being explicitly non-utopian, it may just be that the free-market system has reached a point where steady state capitalism is conceivable, even possible. Who knows whether bush's gamble of open societies ( a euphemism for free market democracies) will payoff in the war against jihad? If the gamble does payoff, it'll be the most human world war ever won!

These people are recent immigrants. One has what I might be an Arabic name. They may be legal or illegal. Y'all would be shocked how many legal immigrants are in the illegal immigration business. Many legal immigrants evade taxes in their all (or part) cash businesses such as 7-11s, gas stations, restaurants, food carts, bodegas, taxis, limousines. They see all this stuff on TV, they see Americans living large, and they want the same. By hook or by crook.

Fine post Rikki!

In Canada our system is insane,anybody from the 6.4 billion people outside of Canada can come here and file a bogus refugee claim and spend as much as the recent case in the news of man here
in Canada for 17 years,they get all the social benefits and can chose to make a claim at the point of entry or go to a Government Immigration
office a file a claim after being in the Country
for awhile.

Here's the dangerous part that promotes the forging of documents for illegals,the Minister
of Immigration was interviewed on TV and when asked about people with forged papers claiming to be a "True refugee",the response was that legitimate refugees have to use forged papers to leave their Country and the Red Cross advised Canada of this method for filtering True-Refugees.

Canada now has about 36,000 refugees that were denied a claim for criminal or terrorism reasons
but were never ordered to report that they left the Country,Canada doesn't have a Exit-Policy
to monitor transients.

To make it worse Islamic Lawyers are fight the Government to remove the Citizenship Act that allows for revoking it for unreported terrorist activity or past criminal records for war-crimes
or murder. Below is the link to the story showing that Muslims want Terrorists and Murders to have acces to Canadian Citizenship while not being
subject to deportation since Canadian born Citizens can't be deported or lose their Citizenship.
Recently about 5 Muslims have been detained for security reason and Islamic groups are exploiting this for their own gains but don't tell Muslims that these are non-Citizens,in fact CAIR has posted outright lies about the Arar case and
incites hatred and bigotry towards the USA and Israel.

CAIR USA is now demanding the ban on a enrty to the U.S. for a speaker that CAIR said killed
Muslims at a Mosque overseas,this is alarming
since Canadian Muslims want Murderers and Criminals to get Citizenship that can't be revoked.

We had a situation in Virginia recently where several employees at the Division of Motor Vehicles got busted selling fake driver's licenses/IDs to scores of illegals, including Arab foreign nationals. They have a date with a federal judge coming up later in the year.

This is how we are infiltrating your liberal infested America by taking advantage of loopholes in your system. Too bad they were caught but we have more people ready to infiltrate America and undermine it by working from within the system. The problem is you can't stop us.

My dear Sultan (if you are a real person):
oh? Exactly how many times have the enemies of the West said that? I seriously do not advise you to put your pretty little theory to the test.

TROLL WATCH!

I suspect we either have Reza incarnate or a newbie (Sultan Al Salim)looking to have a little fun with JW bloggers. I suggest we don't respond, but just keep an eye on his posts and report him to R. Spencer if warranted.
