Raid nets illegals using fake IDs at Kentucky flooring plant

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- State and federal officials charged 9 workers at a Somerset hardwood milling company with felony identification theft.

Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement Sgt. Brian Jackson said there are warrants charging 29 more employees of Somerset Hardwood and Flooring with the same crime.

Jackson said another 34 workers there were found to have supplied fake, but not stolen, Social Security numbers.

Jackson said the business in south-central Kentucky would not likely face any charges, saying the company appeared to have taken reasonable steps to verify the workers' identities.

The case grew from a traffic stop last week during which an officer found the driver had a fake ID and Social Security number.

As I add up the number of illegals employed at this company, the company's HR Dept was fooled 72 times by fake ID. Pretty sad.

We have an update on a story we brought to you earlier this month.

The Somerset Commonwealth Journal reports that thirteen illegal aliens that were arrested in Somerset after using false information to get jobs were indicted in U.S. District Court this week.

The indictment alleges that in January of 2006, all 13 people used counterfeit green cards to gain employment at Somerset Hardwood.

No court date has been set at this time.

If convicted, each could face up to 10 years in prison.
