Thread: Illegal aliens recruited to buy drivers licenses from bureau

Feds: Illegal aliens recruited to buy driver’s licenses from bureau employee Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents say 37-year-old Melissa Green used her job as a driver’s license examiner in a scheme to issue licenses to illegal aliens seeking work in Alabama.

Two Mexican nationals and an Uzbeki national were arrested last week in connection to the case.

According to a news release issued this week, agents arrested Green, her husband Alfred Green, 40, and Davron Gayupov, 29, of Gulfport, MS; Baldamer Esquivel, 37, of Troy, AL; and Marco Martinez, 40, of Mobile, AL. Authorities alleged that each participated in a scheme to sell driver’s licenses for $2,000 each.

ICE officials initiated the investigation after they received information that Martinez – who was employed at a Mobile, AL, shipyard – was recruiting illegal aliens who wanted ID cards to gain employment at the shipyard. ICE agents worked with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, the Mississippi Highway Patrol and the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.

It is illegal for anyone without legal status to obtain a Mississippi-issued driver’s license.

“Mississippi Driver Services is in the process of reviewing hundreds of licenses issued by Green over a nine-month period,â€

Greed is a powerfull force! Just look at our president and much of congress!

this is a great bust. In Kansas your information is sent off to the Capital and your ID card shipped to your home. This adds an extra layer of double checks so that the DMV does not have full power.

I believe it is the same in TX as well.

I know that NYS has a big pain in the ass process in getting your Drivers license or even a State issued license!!! (3 forms of Identification) And if you loss you license or ID you need to start all over again!!!
