9. Are you serious? Or what? Did you miss this part?
<snip>

Evidence uncovered during the ICE investigation, which began in February 2006, indicated that large numbers of illegal immigrants may have illegally assumed the identities of U.S. citizens or lawful U.S. residents and improperly used their Social Security numbers to gain employment at Swift facilities.

Not only were they here illegally, there was identity theft involved. Apparently you think that is okay.

Sometimes the things people post are absolutely astounding. And apparently being an illegal alien who is using someone else's identity is fine. They're the victim.
