California DMV employees have been arrested for selling fake driver licenses, IDs, & vehicle titles to illegal aliens
More nefarious nonsense from California… employees at the Department of Motor Vehicles have been arrested for selling bogus drivers licenses, identification, and vehicle titles to illegal immigrants.
Bad enough that Arizona has such a dire situation with its onslaught of illegal aliens parading across its unsecured border that it had to pass its own state law to try to stop the flood.
Now we know that California government workers have been instrumental in worsening the illegal immigration situation by selling fake IDs. And profiting from it.
From LA Daily, DMV Employees Arrested For Allegedly Selling IDs To Undocumented, Brokering Fraudulent Vehicle Titles:
Four Southern California-based DMV employees were arrested as part of an alleged scheme to issue false driver’s licenses and titles for people, including the undocumented, who otherwise shouldn’t otherwise have them, the department announced Thursday afternoon.
The investigation involved “stolen/embezzled high-end vehicles” and issuance of false driver’s licenses and fraudulent titles, the department stated. Three of the suspects worked out of the Hope Street office in Exposition Park. Another worked in Fullerton.
Arrested: Taneika Mashay Lathan, 22; Shavon Renae Shorter, 25; and Kimberly Nicole Sadler, 30, of the Hope Street office; and Angelina Nanette James, 42, of the Fullerton office. They face possible charges of grand theft, illegal computer access, bribery and use of documents to conceal immigration status.
Samuel Keith Swayzer, 39, who doesn’t work for the department but who was caught up in the investigation, was arrested on suspicion of narcotics and illegal firearm possession.
DMV officials allege that the crew worked together, for example, to issue fake driver’s licenses for $350 to $6,000 each.
A sixth man, 40-year-old license registration examiner Gonzalo Garcia, who worked int he Hollywood offfice, was arrested in a separate investigation. He is suspected of illegally accessing DMV computers and falsifying public records. More details were not available.

I know what you mean. I was born and raised as a kid in California. I regret that I’m not living there anymore… NOT.
Arizona is looking better and better every day.

C’mon over to AZ, Brett – if you can tolerate August and September, you’ve got it made. We even have a fake beach here (ignore that smell of chlorine).
