2 arrested in driver's licenses for illegals scam
Source: Associated Press

(05-19) 04:00 PDT Los Angeles --

Two men were arrested in what authorities described Thursday as an elaborate scheme to help more than 200 illegal immigrants from Korea and China obtain California driver's licenses using doctored Canadian passports.

Dae Wahn Ahn, 49, of Diamond Bar (Los Angeles County) and Chong Hwan Kim, 47, of Norwalk (Los Angeles County) were arrested Wednesday and charged with manufacturing false documents, using false documents to conceal citizenship, perjury, forgery, conspiracy and false personation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.

Authorities said the men charged illegal immigrants between $3,500 and $5,000 to help them obtain driver's licenses at multiple Department of Motor Vehicles offices in Kern County.

The men are accused of using altered Canadian passports and Social Security numbers that had belonged to Chinese workers in the Northern Mariana Islands to apply for the licenses, immigration officials said.

3. Are you fucking for real?
Ship them back and if they ever return, put them into the soil? Like, kill them?
Either you better get a better handle on the English language, or you should explain your post. Anyway, I'm alerting. Progressives don't suggest killing or harshly dealing with those who would come here to improve their lives. Progressives advocate following the laws, yes, but you're way out of line.

4. $3,500 and $5,000
Good grief!!! What a racket...what a shame? Hopefully, there is a jail cell somewhere with their name on it. They were making good money in the current economy.
