the following day for security reasons, this has been proven. Does this not demonstrate that the government knew what was about to happen?

Colorado DMV sets up check on phony papers
By Scripps McClatchy Western Service
September 6, 2006

Posted 12:30 p.m.
More than 1,700 illegal immigrants have been caught attempting to pass fake documents at Colorado driver's licenses offices in the first month after a tough immigration law went into effect, according to a state official.

"We're seeing evidence of individuals trying to slip through the cracks," said Michael Cooke, executive director of the Colorado Department of Revenue.

Colorado's new anti-illegal immigration laws passed by the legislature this summer set up a strict identification check meant to deny most public services to undocumented adult immigrants.

The Department of Motor Vehicles is on the front line of those checks.

As residents come into DMV offices to get state ID cards or driver's licenses, they're asked to present birth certificates and immigration papers such as passports and green cards to prove they are in the United States legally.

Those documents are then run through the federal SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification of Entitlements) system to verify the applicant's legal immigration status.

In the past month, about 2,100 applicants at DMV were told their documents needed further investigation. Of those, 177 met with investigators and were cleared as legal residents of Colorado. But more than 1,700 cases are pending.

Cooke says DMV will never see those applicants again because they know their documents are phony.

"We're asking them to go to our investigative unit so we can look into the matter, and we're not hearing back from them," Cooke said.

The 1,700-plus names have been sent to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, she said.

So far, DMV offices have also caught about 150 people attempting to use fraudulent birth certificates, and that number is climbing. Most of the certificates were authentic, but the person presenting the document was not the individual named on the certificate, Cooke said.

New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division officials discovered a hole in the state's security system recently when a division contract office in Tijeras was found to have issued 100 or more licenses to people thought to be illegal immigrants.

Since February, vanloads of immigrants found an empathetic 23-year-old clerk who took documents obtained elsewhere - many from Kansas - and issued new licenses to the applicants.

Officials learned of the problem only after an electrician working nearby got suspicious of the heavy traffic into the MVD office.

An audit by Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department detectives and the MVD says the clerk issued drivers licenses to at least 100 undocumented immigrants.

Sheriff's detectives arrested four men, all from Guatemala, who told Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they needed the licenses to get work in Kansas, according to federal court documents.

They spent between $10 and $700 to buy Social Security cards and birth certificates from unknown people in Liberal, Kan., according to the court documents.

Bernalillo County sheriff's Detective Bill Webb said last week those vendors directed the men to travel to Tijeras and find the clerk.

The Tijeras clerk was put on administrative leave, and could be fired pending the outcome of an investigation by the MVD and the Sheriff's Department, said Tijeras Mayor Gloria Chavez.

She said the clerk had been a good employee, and was particularly valuable because she spoke Spanish.

"We never saw it coming at all," Chavez said.

Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Erin Kinnard Thompson said the investigation is not yet complete.

But already, state officials are talking about making it more difficult for immigrants to get state driver's licenses.

MVD Director Ken Ortiz said last week that he and state Taxation and Revenue Secretary Jan Goodwin discussed reviewing the requirements for the 39 contract offices, including stricter oversight of employees.

The Taxation and Revenue Department had already started auditing licenses issued to about 30,000 immigrants to see whether they had proper documentation.

Immigrants can get a driver's license using a single piece of identification. The Richardson administration is considering adopting new regulations that would require two pieces of identification.

Today my wife woke me up by telling me she caught me cheating she used pretty hot water and threw it on me around 5 am, and then kicked me out of the house. She threw my boots at me, and some clothes but no socks. When I was going to grab the boots she hit me in the face with my truck keys, causing a cut.

I got in the truck and it had a dead battery, so I had to get a jump from my neighbor who of course saw the whole thing. On my way to work, already late I got pulled over for speeding and got a big ticket, and almost got the truck impounded.

When i arrived at work my boss told me I was late for the last time and fired me. I got in my truck and drove to the bar, only to have the bartender tell me I owed and he wouldnt serve till i paid. I went to the liquor store and got some pepermint scnapps, and hug out by the high school drinking. Someone called the cops and I was arrested, this was last Thursday, anyone have a worse day then this?

Has anybody else watched people around you during the day and noticed that the majority of people seem very unhappy? Why is this?

My theory is that people are so used to being told what they should do and how they should think that they don't even know themselves. If you took away society and all that it tells them they wouldn't know what to do.

What do you all think?

Do you remember the episode of PBS's Nova describing logical evidence that the CiA was involved? they even said that the President's brain was removed from his skull before the body reached Bethesda. (While in Govrenment hands). This way, no one could positively prove how many bullets or the trajectory of the bullets.

Bush, Sr was high up in the CIA durng that period. I am sure this episode of Nova will never be shown again,

Do you remember outrage in the NY times when Oliver Stone was still making his movie on the assassination? What was that about??
