Shocker: Mexican Forger Says He Could Easily Fake Documents Necessary To Satisfy "Amensty" Requirements

Hard to believe that people who have been forging identity documents for ten years could continue doing so now, huh?

The head of a Mexican forgery ring was convinced he could make phony documents that illegal aliens could use to indicate fraudulently that they were eligible for a new amnesty, says a government affidavit recounting wiretapped phone calls the man made.

Julio Leija-Sanchez, who ran a $3 million-a-year forgery operation before he was arrested in April, was expecting Congress to pass a legalization program, which he called "amnesty," and said he could forge documents to fool the U.S. government into believing illegal aliens were in the country in time to qualify for amnesty, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent said in the affidavit.

Why, it's almost as if those already breaking the law actually wouldn't mind breaking a couple of other laws to gain legal status.
