Followup - Meatpacking Raids: A Victim's Story

2006-12-14

The cost of the identity theft from yesterday's story on the raid. This is one of the "hidden" costs of the illegals.

Theresa Sanchez was expecting a $5,400 tax refund when she opened a letter from the IRS in January 2003. Instead, she got a bill demanding payment of taxes on $120,000 in undeclared wages. Someone using her name and Social Security number had earned the money through a series of jobs dating back to 1996 and had not paid any taxes on the income, the letter said.

Sanchez complained to the agency and to the Federal Trade Commission that her identity had been stolen, and was being used by someone to gain employment. Nonetheless, more than two years later, in April 2005, a woman walked into the Swift & Co. meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colo., and used Theresa Sanchez's name and Social Security number to get a job.

The womans employment ruse became public knowledge Tuesday when authorities raided Swift & Co. plants in six states and arrested approximately 1,300 illegal immigrants suspected of buying or stealing other peoples identities to secure U.S. jobs.

I killed that pretender bitch. Chopped his head off. He won't be bothering you with namby-pamby mealy-mouthed posts, anymore.

Like toons? NSFW

#5 Icerigger. Spit.

Asstard. Not since Blackjack & young Mr Patton were chasing Poncho Villa has the border even been noticed - it has NEVER been enforced. Not even Reagan enforced the border - he was a *wink wink nudge nudge* guy about that cheap illegal labor. It is an institution - and has been since Day One. But now, now that you've noticed, whoa - Where's the FuCkinG mAgiK wANd?

Asshole. There are 537 politicians, hundreds of "judges", hundreds of Moonbats running Sanctuary Cities and Police Depts, drug cartels, an array of well-funded politically-active organizations, the entire MSM, the Catholic Sanctuary Symps, and a Pandora's Box of screeching assholes who all have a stake in this, ranging from touch-feelies to Stalinists to terrorists to Dope Mules to Coyote Fuglies.

But you Blame Bush. Bush alone.

I think it's a tad more complicated - such as the Donks In Power who will divert long-awaited allocated fence and manpower funding to the usual Pork Game, torpedoing the first real attempt in US History to control the border.

Lord knows we've never thought about this before, debated it before, explored the many issues before, here on RB.

Nope. We've been waiting for you to show up and assign blame.

And you Blame Bush. Bush alone.

Fuckwit.

#4 That's three weeks longer than they deserve. Run 'em NOW, and confiscate any assets they leave behind to pay for their deportation. They should be thrown back to their own country with no more than the shirt on their back. Criminal bastards--we should be shooting the foreigners at the border and hanging the natives here who hired them in the first place.

#3 Every single one of the illegals should be given a 3 week notice then deported with tattoos, "illegal" somewhere on their bodies.

Thank you Bush. Spit.

#2 The selling and misuse of false-identify documentation should be made a felony with a minimum 10 years sentence.

The rest would sort itself out naturally after that.

#1 The suspect accused of illegally using Sanchezs identity is identified only as Jane Doe.

Ironicaint it? The people most vulnerable for this variant of identity theft have surnames like Sanchez or Garcia. Not Kennedy, McCain, or for that matter Doe.
