NEW YORK, NY - An employee at the Consulate of the Dominican Republic in New York City, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on charges of using his family's passports and consular visas to bring dozens of illegal aliens into the United States from the Dominican Republic during 2007 through 2008.

The arrest of 48 year-old, Francisco Estevez, also known as "Danilo," was announced today by Peter J. Smith, the special agent-in-charge of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Investigations in New York, and Lev L. Dassin, acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

ICE agents arrest Dominican Republic Consular Employee accused of smuggling aliens into the U.S. as family members (http://www.ice.gov/pi/nr/0812/081208newyork.htm - broken link)

Despite being given the PRIVILEGE of living and working in the US as opposed to remaining in poverty, many remain ungrateful and they show their lack of gratitude by defrauding the government that has given them opportunities they otherwise would never have.

I suspect this is simply the tip of the iceberg. They have also arrested employees at the DMV in DC for taking bribes to issue driver’s licenses to illegals. Illegal immigration is a lucrative business, and the greedy and corrupt are having a field day at our expense.

The three most profitable business of organized crime are : guns, drugs, and human trafikking.

Behind every illegal alien in this country there is organized crime. The apoligists, the delusionists, and the illegal aliens hate to hear that sentence because it's like holy water on vampires; it's truth.

For the suggestion box, edit this entry at the top of the list as the most profitable business of organized crime : politics.

Call me naive, but I just cannot imagine being so greedy or selfish that I don't care who I hurt or risk the possibility of going to jail. I guess that's price you pay when you have a conscience.

Yep, but I'd rather have one than not. How some people even look at themselves in the mirror is beyond me.

Even worse is how they have no problem justifying the depths that they are willing to sink to while compromising themselves for a dollar.
