“This is a national security issue; Illegal aliens should not have the freedom to transport hazardous materials throughout the United States.” Elissa Brown, special agent in charge of the ICE Chicago Office of Investigations, in a news release that the arrests have helped close a security vulnerability that could have led to dire consequences.

The Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 27 illegal aliens in Illinois, Maryland and Missouri in recent days who possessed valid state licenses to transport hazardous materials, state commercial driver’s licenses to drive trucks or state driver’s licenses. The arrests announced on June 23 follow previous ICE enforcement actions in Florida, Michigan, and Maryland in which more than 100 individuals have been arrested in connection with fraud schemes that enabled illegal aliens to obtain valid hazardous materials licenses, commercial driver’s licenses and/or driver’s licenses through respective state Departments of Motor Vehicles.

In Illinois, ICE agents arrested six illegal aliens during the past two weeks who had been issued valid Illinois state commercial driver’s licenses with hazardous materials endorsements. The arrests were the result of a joint investigation conducted by ICE, the Social Security Administration’s Office of Inspector General, and the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Illinois Secretary of State Police.

In Maryland, a federal grand jury in Baltimore returned a criminal indictment on June 21 against Mansoor Hassan, an illegal alien from Pakistan and a driver of gasoline tanker trucks for Exxon, on six counts of making false statements about his citizenship in order to gain employment with different gas companies.

1. Quick build a wall around Mexico. terra terra terra nt.

2. Well I'm not one to promote the use of fear, BUT:

these are realities we have to deal with. Illegal immigration is indeed a national security issue, and something must be done about it.

I just wonder when people started dropping the ILLEGAL in ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. You wouldn't give a bank robber amnesty, they are doing something illegal.

Am I making sense?

3. yes but not as frightening as this

4. Somehow, any oversights on the part of the States issuing the licenses

Is being overlooked.

5. Also note the lax background checking on behalf of Exxon...

now how much do you want to bet Exxon KNEW this guy was an illegal.

Hell, it's hard enough for most Americans to go through background checks!
