Prisoners' sale of ID papers to immigrants investigated

WASHINGTON – Jose Esteban Aleman was among more than 1,000 undocumented workers arrested in December during highly publicized immigration raids at Swift & Co. meatpacking plants around the country.
Like many of those arrested, Aleman wasn't cited on immigration charges. He was arrested for carrying fake documents that identified him as a U.S. citizen.
Most of the fake identification confiscated during the raids was traced to taxpaying Americans whose Social Security numbers had been stolen, said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
Aleman's case was different. His ID was traced to a murder suspect in Chicago who might have sold his identification papers while in custody years earlier, authorities said.
“There are some people in prisons and homeless and others who are selling their identities to be used by (illegal immigrants),” said Julie Myers, assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “We are just beginning to see this.”

Exclusive: Debunking the Guest Worker Myth

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and others who advocate for a Guest Worker Amnesty Program have claimed numerous times that a Guest Worker Amnesty Program will enable the Border Patrol to focus on criminals and terrorists, instead of wasting their time by arresting those aliens who simply want to work in the United States.
Chertoff repeated this message once again during his recent visit to Mexico, as the AP reported Saturday. But sadly, this idealistic rhetoric truly is nothing more than a myth...

Convicted murderer arrested in Framingham
By Norman Miller/Daily News staffSaturday, February 17, 2007 - Updated: 01:01 AM EST
FRAMINGHAM - A man convicted of murder in Brazil more than two years ago was arrested yesterday in his Howard Street apartment by federal immigration officials.
Vander Pedro Silveira's arrest was the third in Framingham since 2005 of an illegal Brazilian immigrant convicted of murder in his home country, according to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
"This case illustrates a significant danger of illegal immigration," said Bruce M. Foucart, special agent in charge of ICE's investigations office in Boston. "These three treacherous fugitives were living openly in a suburban Massachusetts community. Convicted murderers from other countries who are fugitives are serious public safety threats within the United States, and ICE will use all available resources to track them down."
