Welcome back, patriots! CLICK HERE if you missed part one of this article. As you’ll see here, illegal immigrants could use payday loans to pay for backwater licensing services… if I believed in that kind of thing, which I don’t…

But the red flags are on the public record. For instance, on January 16, 2008, a woman named Gabriel Beatriz Wekid came to Maryland with an Argentina passport. She gave the address of a Delaware farm and provided a cell phone bill with the same address. It wasn’t until a document from a Delaware agency appeared that an examiner noticed a discrepancy.

Wekid lived in Newark, Delaware, but had never been to been employed by the farm she’d cited in her application. Wekid was charged with two violations of fraud law, which amounted to a $55 fine and 60 days probation. What a slap!

That’s just the tip of the iceberg

The process to obtain a Maryland driver’s license using foreign documents without visa stamps involves calling a toll-free number to schedule an appointment. MVA officials report that the volume of out-of-state calls that number receives is tremendous, on the order of one in four from 53 states and territories outside Maryland. Officials have responded by blocking out-of-state calls.

In comes industry. Someone came up with the bright (and entirely legal) idea to charge immigrants hundreds of dollars to help them get licenses. The business makes appointments, reviews documents and provides transportation and translation services. Many who don’t have the money to pay for the service face as much as an eight-month wait to get an appointment. Using false licenses has been the path for some, as the arrest numbers in Maryland can testify: they prosecuted 507 immigrants in 2008. Surely there were many that went undetected.

Fraud is allowable, says Casa de Maryland

Bribery on the institutional level doesn’t help any of this. Broken Country reports that the U.S. attorney’s office has prosecuted bribery rings that worked out of the MVA, including one under the control of Valentin Millstein, the owner of a driving school. He was convicted of “scheming with an employee and former employee… They issued more than 100 fraudulent licenses and identification cards to drivers, some illegal immigrants, who paid $2,000 each.”

Meanwhile, immigrant advocates like Kimberly Propeack of  Casa de Maryland argue that “whatever residency fraud Maryland might prevent by tightening its rules would be outweighed by a rise in internal corruption and document mills.”

What do I think? Where there’s money to be had, there will be corrupt individuals who will do whatever they can to get their hands on it. That will include document mills, in this case. However, lax licensing laws leave too big a hole for the corrupt to maintain a stranglehold on America. The line must be drawn.

Politics and business as usual have combined to drag America’s economy into the sewer. Subterranean Dow Jones and S & P levels have haunted commerce and put hundreds of thousands out of work. In order for them to continue to scheme their schemes, offending politicians must be able to maintain their hold on their office. However will they accomplish that? No, not with anti-payday loan legislation…

Oooh, oooh, pick me, pick me!

You guessed it: voter fraud.

Smile when you say that

According to the blog Broken Country at http://www.brokencountry.com/index.php/2009/04/08/maryland-mva-id-fraud-makes-voter-registration-fraud-easy/,  MVA Maryland has “become a magnet for illegal immigrants from Georgia to Delaware seeking driving privileges.” And that’s just fine with invested politicians and bankers, as it makes voter fraud a snap.

New Mexico, Hawaii, Washington state and Maryland do not check the immigration status of drivers who apply for a license. Not only does this swing the door open wide for potential voter fraud, but it enables criminals to create false identities. Plus guess what? This complies with federal law!

Guess the Patriot Act is too busy monitoring citizens to spare a care for illegals committing fraud in exchange for whatever money, goods or opportunities the machine gives them, huh?

It has been reported that some Maryland state workers have even conspired in such schemes. They’ve run them right out of their Motor Vehicle Administration offices! Being so obvious has led to prosecution of such cheeky employees. If only they’d open more windows, they’d have less time to incriminate themselves…

Throw up a “protect the immigrants” smokescreen, Batman!

Some officials favor a system that would comply with federal law regarding obtaining driver’s licenses, but forbid illegal immigrants from boarding airplanes, entering federal buildings or crossing state borders. Great. This addresses the terrorism angle, but does nothing to address voter fraud. Apparently ACORN has erased America’s ability to determine right from wrong.

Broken Country writes that a Maryland driver’s license is considered “so insecure that some states, including Colorado, Arizona and Oklahoma, no longer accept it as a proof of identity for relocating drivers.” MVA officials recognize how easy it is for illegal immigrants to get a Maryland license. False addresses are given, along with what few documents are required, and that’s that.
