PHILADELPHIA — A Pennsylvania staffing company gamed the nation's visa program by obtaining hundreds of work visas under names culled from a Mexican phonebook and supplying the paperwork to illegal immigrants placed in landscaping and other seasonal jobs, authorities said Monday.
"They were almost like a shadow government, because they procured all these visas, and they were the ones able to control who's getting them," Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin R. Brenner told The Associated Press.
International Personnel Resources had dozens of clients, many of them landscapers, builders and golf courses in the mid-Atlantic.
In some cases, undocumented workers were sent home and given stockpiled visas to re-enter the country and return to their jobs, authorities said.
The workers came from Mexico and Central and South America.
Both the HR people as well as the illegals involved...............we are discussing possible 3rd degree or higher (first degree being the most serious) Felony fraud charges now.
In the border cities, the organized crime rings offer all kinds of laser visas and whatever kind of document someone would buy. They even help the "immigrant" choose a picture ID by suggesting a change of hairstyle or makeup, shave. It's $400 for a legal laser visa and only $100 more ($500) for an illegal laser visa.
Not just a slap on the wrist but if the democrats get their way, they will be rewarded with easy citizenship, nothing more than a $500 "fee" and access to all the government handout programs, social security checks when they retire and a whole lot more.
