(CNSNews.com) – The Justice Department announced Tuesday that federal identity theft charges have been brought against 148 illegal immigrants accused of stealing the identities of American citizens to get jobs.The charges arose out of Operation Wagon Train, an investigation led by agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement working with six U.S. attorney’s offices.
“The Justice Department takes identity theft very seriously,” said Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. “We are committed to ensuring that every American’s identity is protected and that those who commit this crime are fully prosecuted.”
As Cybercast News Service reported, more than 1,200 suspects were arrested on Dec. 12, 2006, during raids on six meat-packing plants owned by Swift & Company, one of the nation’s largest processors of fresh pork and beef.
“Operation Wagon Train unveiled a clear and disturbing picture,” said Julie Myers, Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “What began as an illegal employment investigation uncovered a massive scheme in which illegal aliens used the identities of actual U.S. citizens to get jobs.”

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal by spouting such things, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commentators reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity. By posting a comment you agree to abide by the rules of this site.-
