"LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — Three illegal immigrants who used fake documents to try to get badges that would let them work on a construction job at Los Alamos National Laboratory have been turned over to federal immigrant agents.
Security officers were suspicious of documents presented to the lab's badge office Wednesday by the three men from Mexico, and faxed the documents to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Albuquerque.
ICE officials confirmed that the documents presented by the men were false. Lab security officers contacted local police, who escorted the trio off lab property and held them for immigration authorities.
Police said it's a federal offense to falsify identity to federal agencies."
What do you think?

This is in the area I live in, and has happened before. The security checks caught these people, but the enforcement and background checks historically have been lax.
They'll get a slap on the wrist and be deported. No sense taking up bed space in Club Fed or ICE detention PROVIDED they don't turn something up during the deeper background checks on these individuals, and trust me...the Feds will rip their lives apart to make sure they aren't members of anything close to a terrorist organization. My question is why they don't do that before they allow them in to the reactor complex to begin with.

I am not a fan of Nuclear in the first place and that is frightening to me...... No need for the Nuclear supporters to tell me how safe it is my brother is an Engineer and I have heard this argument many times before but then you throw into the mix that with simple fake documents one can just stroll off the streets and into the complex.............. eek, I need to check to see how close the nearest Nuclear facility is again......
Chuck_Junior your right the time for the strenuous background checks is BEFORE they are hired....

Seems someone is trying to get some plutonium doesn't it. And using illegals to get in, and get it for them.
Here is the worst disaster of a Nuclear Plant that still is in the process of clean-up. Hanford Nuclear Power Plant. Good enough reason for me to look for other resources to fuel America, and other countries.
