Immigration officials have placed a hold on a 31-year-old Hispanic woman who allegedly stole a Minneapolis woman's identity in order to obtain employment at Pharr Yarns in McAdenville.

Cramerton Police arrested Maria Griselda Velazquez Ramirez of the 600 block of Belmont-Mount Holly Road, Belmont, on Monday, charging her with identity theft.

"Defendant used the victim's name and Social Security number to obtain employment at Pharr Yarns in McAdenville," Cramerton Police Sgt. W.B. Adams wrote in a warrant affidavit.

Police accuse Ramirez of using the identity of Nubia Toro of the city of Minneapolis.

Cramerton assists McAdenville Police in its duties.

Ramirez was booked into Gaston County Jail on a $10,000 bond on the identity theft charge, however, Immigration and Custom Enforcement officers placed a hold on her release.

A hold is usually placed on a person if they face deportation or if they entered the country illegally.

This marks at least the second case of identity theft at the McAdenville textile plant.

In August, Cramerton Police working with McAdenville Police arrested Sofia Granados DePaz, 51, on a charge of identity theft.

She allegedly used the name of another person and her date of birth to "conceal her illegal immigrant status," according to the warrant.

"Defendant used victim's name, date of birth and Social Security number to obtain employment at Pharr Yarns in McAdenville," Police Sgt. W.B. Adams wrote in a warrant affidavit.

In that case, the alleged victim, Delia Ruiz Zepeda, lived in Harlingen, Texas, according to the warrant affidavit.

Zepeda became aware of the alleged identity theft when she received a notice from the IRS that indicated she had been employed with the textile mill company.

DePaz had worked for the company using the alleged victim's personal information for five years, according to a press release from McAdenville Police Department.

Harlingen is located in the Rio Grande Valley, near the border with Texas.

It's time for a major investigation into this company!! Throw the book at the company if guilty and the illegal. We need them to know that if you sneak into the country you will pay dearly.

She allegedly used the name of another person and her date of birth to "conceal her illegal immigrant status," according to the warrant.

And there are 12 million (at least) more of her compadres doing exactly the same thing in this country! Either that, or they steal the SS number of their newly created anchor babies and use them as their own!

And still, our government refuses to make E-Verify mandatory for any business who hires employees in this country. Seemingly, our government (who we pay for) would rather protect illegal invaders, over American citizens, from the ravages of identity theft and illegals who are stealing jobs from American citizens!

Disgraceful!
