The Times featured full-color photos of Vargas’ fake document trove — including a a fake passport with a fake name, a fake green card and a Social Security card his grandfather doctored for him at a Kinko’s. He committed perjury repeatedly on federal I-9 employment eligibility forms. In 2002, while pursuing his journalism career goals, an immigration lawyer told him he needed to accept the consequences of his law-breaking and return to his native Philippines. Following the rules would have meant a 10-year bar to reentry into America. Making false claims of citizenship is a felony offense. Document fraud is a felony offense. http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2011/06/26/magazine/26illegal2.html The threat of deportation for citizens like Vargas — young and with no criminal record — are, admittedly, slim. Spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Cori W. Bassett, told NPR in an emailed statement: "ICE takes enforcement action on a case-by-case basis — prioritizing those who present the most significant threats to public safety as determined by their criminal history and taking into consideration the specific facts of each case, including immigration history." http://www.npr.org/2011/06/29/137492580/the-nation-the-other-face-of-illegal-immigration ICE SAYS illegal who used massive document fraud of is not of interest to them so why is fraud now legal since this guy broke enough laws with massive document fraud and does not even have to worry about it, why are illegals being allowed to break laws and ice refuses to even look into it ?
