Fraudulent
Docs Help Illegals Enter U.S.
From the border watch file we find a truly disturbing
recent arrest. A U.S. Border Patrol agent in San Diego
named Oscar Antonio Ortiz stands accused of smuggling
illegal aliens into the United States over the U.S./Mexico
border. As if that weren't bad enough, there's more: Ortiz
himself is also allegedly an illegal alien! So how did
Ortiz get a job with the U.S. Border Patrol, where his
main duty consists of, well, stopping illegal immigrants
from entering the U.S.? Apparently, the 28-year-old Ortiz,
a Mexican citizen born in Tijuana, was hired by the agency
in 2001 after using a fraudulent birth certificate saying
he was born in Chicago.
The use of fraudulent documents to obtain jobs in highly
sensitive areas is nothing new. One of my first stories
for CBN News detailed how, in recent months, scores of
illegal aliens have used fake birth certificates to gain
employment working on U.S. Navy aircraft, commercial airlines,
and even nuclear power plants. None of the immigrants
in these cases are suspected of having ties to terrorism.
But the mere fact that they were able to obtain jobs in
places like nuclear power plants, while living in the
U.S. illegally, has to warm the hearts of Islamic jihadis
far and wide. We need look no further than the 9/11 hijackers--
they used several fake IDs while in the U.S.
