SANTA ANA – Five men appeared in federal court Wednesday to face charges that they made and sold counterfeit identity and immigration documents, authorities said.

The five men, all Mexican nationals in the United States illegally, were arrested Tuesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and Anaheim police officers, ICE officials said.

Luis Rosas, 32, of Anaheim, Guillermo Ramirez-Yanez, 43, of Anaheim, Geraldo Reyes-Reyes, 40, of Fullerton, Jose Albert Reyes-Garcia, 19, of Fullerton; and Marcelo Macias-Alejo, 37, face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Officials served search warrants at a video store in Anaheim and at a home in Anaheim.

According to investigators, the men met their customers at the video store and collected payment, then sent someone on bicycle to the house on Clementine Street to order and then deliver the counterfeit documents. The group charged $70 for a set of documents that included a fake Social Security card and green card, officials said.

Officials reported that they seized counterfeit documents, computers, printers, digital cameras, a laminating machine and $1,000.

In 2005, immigration officials broke up a counterfeit document ring operating out of the same strip mall.

And still...there are those out there who do not believe illegals are voting in our elections. If they are brazen enough to present fradulent green cards...whatever...i'm preaching to the choir here.

Atleast i'm encouraged by many of the comments that seem to also be critical of illegal invaders and the continuous crimes they MUST commit in order to remain in this coutnry.
