Answer 1

Amazing! It's no secret that this stuff goes on all the time, all across the country. Notice that the one persons name that was in the piece is Hispanic. I know that this may sound racist, but why is it that any time we hear about illegal alien smuggling rings the perpetrators always seem to be Hispanic? This is the very reason that many people have negative opinions of Hispanics when it comes to illegal immigration.

I, for one, can tell tell you that from experience, most of the Hispanic immigrants (not native born Hispanics) in which I have come across within the last 6 years while living in the city of El Paso either know someone who is engaged in some sort of scheme to arrange an illegal marriage, visa scandal, or some type of document fraud, or are have done ones of the aformentioned themselves. When talking to one of my Hispanic friends, she tells numerous stories of how her mother is trying to get somebody to marry a cousin illegally, or how her friend illegally overstayed for visa, and how her sister married to stay in the country.This prompted me to say to her, " Dam, is anyone you know not involved in some sort of illegal scam?" Her replay? "Not really."

Back home in New Jersey I've heard several stories of instances where people (mainly Hispanics) were arranging marriages, buying stolen goods and sending them home, and mass document fraud, which always disgusted me.

Immigrants (especially, but also people in general) who do things in which I have mentioned are the worst and need to be sent back to where they came from immediately and told never to come back; it gives other immigrants a bad rep. The fact that many of the people committing these un-American acts are Hispanics makes it worse.

For all those out there who want to call me a racist, check the facts. I know that many other races (whether immigrant or native born) committ all types of crimes, but when someone who was allowed to come here for better takes advantage of the situation, it's horrible.

Answer 2

Goes on ALOT.

There was a similar bust not that long ago in the Houston area. It wasn't the first time that the company had been busted either. It led to the arrests of over 50 illegals from assorted south of the border countries.

There is no shock at all that it is happening in other areas as well.

Answer 3

Obviously, with 11-20 million illegal immigrants living and working in the USA, it is not happening nearly often enough. Let's demand more!

Answer 4

Alot more than what many would like to beleive. There's a whole network to make this possible for these people. Thing is.....I'm sure it's known and they just turned a blind eye to it. It wouldn't be this out of hand if palms hadn't been greased to ignore it. They aren't that smart and we aren't that dumb.

Answer 5

What gets me, is that when our government KNEW it was this bad, they didn't alert the American people and make enforcement a priority.

It has changed entirely the way I view those in our government.

Answer 6

Alot more than the media is letting out. Buses are the worst.

Answer 7

Much more often than I'd like. I live in Tucson, AZ.

Answer 8

they should face over 6,000 charges, be jailed and lose all possessions. probably just the tip of the iceberg of what goes on!!!

Answer 9

Some people will do anything for money. That will never change.
