He went by the name Chilango — Spanish slang for a resident of Mexico City. For a price, he could provide “pantalones,” or pants, for men and “faldas,” or skirts, for women — his codes names for the all-important work documents that illegal immigrants needed to land a job at the rural East Texas plants of Pilgrim’s Pride, the nation’s largest poultry processor. Now, “Chilango,” or Daniel Totosaus Rodriguez, along with nearly two dozen others, is facing criminal charges of selling or using stolen or freshly fabricated work documents, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division, in December… The unfolding legal drama illustrates the sophistication of the networks serving illegal immigrants and the lengths to which law enforcement is going to counter them.

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, 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. Commenters 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.
