Five Charged in Immigration Document Scheme in Western Kansas


WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A federal indictment filed Thursday charges five Mexican nationals with making and selling fraudulent documents to illegal immigrants in western Kansas.

U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren says the case began with an investigation targeting suspected document dealers in Dodge City.

In an undercover sting, investigators found that for 700 dollars they could easily obtain a phony Social Security card and birth certificate.

The indictment alleges document fraud, identity theft, unlawful possession of five or more identification documents and harboring illegal aliens.

Federal arrest warrants have been issued for Florentino ``Tino'' Vazquez and Fernando Vazquez, both of whom remain at large. Already in custody are Javier Vazquez, Virginia Sanchez and Bertha Vazquez.

And they will be out walking on our streets as soon as they post bail. With that kind of business they had, I'm sure they have a lot of money.
