Is nothing sacred?

LOS ANGELES – An immigration lawyer and two associates have been charged with obtaining fraudulent work visas for immigrants and laundering the money by purchasing cemetery plots, authorities said Friday.

"Cemetery plots are certainly a novel way to attempt to launder the proceeds from criminal activity, but as this case shows, we will follow the money trail wherever it leads," Immigration and Customs Enforcement director John Morton said in a statement.

They'll find a way. Any way to break whatever law doesn't convenience them - they are "the race" after all. Laws don't apply to them.
