WINSTON-SALEM - Investigators took computers Thursday from four people who were believed to be involved in a scheme to sell fake Social Security cards and other ID documents to illegal immigrants.
In all, five people were charged with 34 felony counts in the probe of a fake document ring operating out of a mobile home in Winston-Salem. One person arrested appeared to be a man purchasing a false identity document, said Lt. Jack Coltrane of the license and theft bureau in the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles .

"One gentleman was behind a computer printing stuff when we came in," Coltrane said. "He had a customer."

Those arrested were Isai Sanchez, 17; Guadalupe Lopez Rodriguez, 28; Samuel Cruz Sanchez, 30; Antonio Yanes Moncada, 30; and Velisario Sanchez Ventura, 26. Coltrane said Moncada was buying the document.

Officials received a tip in September that led to surveillance of the mobile home on the southeastern side of the city

This is as bad as drug dealers. You get rid of one and another one shows up. As long as there is a demand, we will see it continue.

yep, kind of like cock roach's coming out of the walls, step on one 5 takes it's place.

....and that is when something needs to be done beyond stepping on them.....something that is effective enough to make them disappear.

Get rid of all the freebies including the birth of their babies and remove the anchor baby law and that would be a great start.

...and that I believe would be a very effective tool in helping them vanish

2nd ring busted in Winston-Salem in less than a month.
