    Man Caught with 250 Stolen Social Security Cards, Birth Certificates

    Man Caught with Stolen Social Security Cards, Birth Certificates

    Multiple law enforcement agencies involved in arrest

    POSTED: 01:11 PM CDT Oct 16, 2015 UPDATED: 08:59 PM CDT Oct 16, 2015


    BROWNSVILLE -A Brownsville man was caught with more than 200 Social Security cards and birth certificates. Police said they were all stolen so he could change the information.

    Law enforcement from across the Rio Grande Valley was involved in his capture.

    Brownsville Police Department said the investigation began three months ago, when they took in several reports of car burglaries. They checked around with other agencies and found out Weslaco, Edinburg and the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office were all searching for the same suspect.


    Rodrigo Rodriguez is charged with possession of identifying information, tampering with a governmental record, unlawful use of criminal instruments and driving with a suspended license.


    He was arrested this week and allowed police to search his apartment. The officers seized 141 Social Security cards, 110 birth certificates, 18 Texas ID cards, 11 Texas driver’s license, 3 tampered birth certificates, 1 marriage license and 1 Mexico ID card.


    Police also found tools including a magnifying glass, scalpels, razor blades and erasers. They said they believe the tools were used to change information on social security cards.

    They also found more than $8,000 in cash.


    Additional charges for car burglaries are still pending. His bond was set at $35,000.


    The Cameron County Sheriff’s office is warning people not to leave important legal documents in their cars. “When they steal a social security card or when they steal a birth certificate, they’re going to make duplicates and they’re going to sell it to someone else, and then we’ve got a bigger problem,” Sheriff Omar Lucio said.


    The sheriff’s office asks anyone who believes they make be a victim to step forward. They are handling this case from their Harlingen office.


    Police are still searching for a second person involved in these burglaries.

    POLICE ARREST MEXICAN IMMIGRANT FOR STEALING HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS’ IDS

    Texas police are holding Mexican immigrant Rodrigo Rodriguez, after multiple law enforcement agencies tracked him down and a search of his apartment revealed “141 Social Security cards, 110 birth certificates, 18 Texas ID cards, 11 Texas driver’s license, 3 tampered birth certificates, 1 marriage license and 1 Mexico ID card,” according to KRGV.com.

    “Police also found tools including a magnifying glass, scalpels, razor blades and erasers,” continued KRGV.com. “They said they believe the tools were used to change information on social security cards. They also found more than $8,000 in cash.”

    Rodriguez planned to alter the cards, police said. They’re searching for a second suspect who may have helped Rodriguez burglarize victims’ cars.


    Immigrants from countries such as Mexico often engage in rampant, aggressive identity theft. In an exhaustive report, the non-partisan Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) documented how immigrants, particularly “undocumented” illegal aliens, commit multiple felonies while forging documents, tax forms, and stealing Americans’ identities.


    For example, CIS estimates 75 percent of illegal aliens use fake Social Security numbers when looking for jobs. Children whose identities are stolen by immigrants enter adulthood with wrecked credit histories. Many are targeted before they are even born. Americans left unemployed by a poor economy saturated with cheap labor from said immigrants are cut off from the system they paid into:

    Thus, when illegal aliens use SSNs or other documents belonging to American citizens and legal residents, the damage can be substantial. The true owners risk being saddled with the illegal aliens’ credit, arrest, and medical records. Victims may be denied jobs, unemployment insurance, Social Security payments, and Medicaid benefits. It costs victims hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to undo the damage and recover their names and lives.

    […]

    When the economy hits hard times and Americans and legal residents lose their jobs, illegal aliens can continue to work using their stolen identities and fraudulent documents. If an illegal alien who is laid off uses his fraudulent documents to obtain unemployment benefits, this drives up the cost of unemployment insurance. If an illegal alien is using an American’s SSN to obtain unemployment benefits, that citizen will be denied benefits that he or she is legally entitled to.

    Predators like Rodriguez dispel the myth that illegal aliens are “undocumented,” or law-abiding. Fortunately, however, identity theft committed by foreigners can be dramatically –and painlessly — reduced almost overnight if those who run the U.S. government decide to enforce immigration laws.
