Job applicant is busted by U.S. Border Patrol
ASSOCIATED PRESS • September 5, 2008


DETROIT-- The U.S. Border Patrol didn't have to go far to make this bust: a man who applied to become a border agent.


Jugert Haxhiu, 26, lied about U.S. citizenship on his application and during a job interview in August, the Border Patrol said.

He's charged with falsely claiming to be a citizen, which is a requirement to be an agent.

Haxhiu is a native of Albania who was ordered out of the United States in 2004, agent Richard Gordon said in a court filing.

Defense attorney Richard O'Neill represented Haxhiu during a brief hearing Thursday in federal court in Detroit. He declined to comment today.

During the job interview, Haxhiu "went on to state that, although he had no proof of U.S. citizenship, he could obtain proof from the immigration office upon request," Gordon said.

He's due in court again on Sept. 24.

IT IS VERY SCARY THAT AN ILLEGAL...WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY ASKED TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY...WAS APPLYING TO BE A BORDER AGENT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IS A BIG RISK FOR SOMEONE WHO IS ILLEGAL. I CAN ONLY THINK THAT THIS PERSON WAS UP TO NO GOOD.

It's a risk, but many know that our federal government is too stupid and doesn't have the balls to enforce our immigration laws.

This guy probably thought he could amass a fortune by letting illegal aliens enter, behind his back, for a "small fee".

THATS WHAT I WOULD GUESS. BUT A MORE SINISTER SCENARIO WOULD BE THAT HE WAS PAID TO APPLY FOR THE JOB TO LET IN PARTICULAR ILLEGALS.
