Bribes get illegals into U.S.
DHS official admits taking bribes to fake documents
POSTED: 4:46 p.m. EST, December 1, 2006
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal immigration official pleaded guilty Thursday to receiving more than $600,000 in bribes for falsifying documents for illegal immigrants.
Robert Schofield, 57, could face 25 years in federal prison when he is sentenced in February.
He pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, to issuing fraudulent documents to at least 184 illegal immigrants who falsely received U.S. citizenship.
Schofield, a former supervisor for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, was arrested in June.
He had served as a supervisory district adjudications officer at the Washington district office of agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security.
According to court documents, Schofield illegally helped Asian immigrants obtain U.S. citizenship in return for payments of $30,000 or more.
Under terms of the plea agreement Schofield has agreed to surrender his home, his bank accounts and his government retirement account.
"The breadth and scope of Mr. Schofield's fraud and corruption are truly stunning," said U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg.
"Those who compromise the integrity of our national immigration system betray the confidence of the American people, and their actions are shameful."
Prosecutors said Schofield employed a network of brokers to bring aliens to him who were willing to pay for the phony documents.
The government says it has identified a number of these brokers.
One of them, Qiming Ye of Washington, has already pleaded guilty and will be sentenced December 21.

Only 25 years? They should put him in a room with all of the families who have been adversley affected by illegal immigration. After that, this guy would gladly take 50 years.

Here in Miami there is a free trade bride market. Cuban Exiles who are in the process of becoming a citizen, of course they love this country so much by giving them freedom and benefits, offer themself for some yankee dollars per year or moth, whatever for Illegal Immigrants. It's quicker for them to become a US citizen than if you are married with a US citizen who is born in the US or to a foreign born naturlized US citizen and much faster than with a green card holder. Cubans, they are very happy in the Sunshine State and the city they live and screem hard "I love Meami".
