Illegals buying fake identity licenses?

 Washington Examiner:

The federal agency responsible for inspecting incoming international mail is concerned people sneaking across the border are mailing themselves identifying documents from abroad, which would allow them to apply for driver's licenses and other benefits in the United States.

Last week, international mail inspectors with U.S. Customs and Border Protection in St. Louis seized four shipments from Guatemala and Mexico that contained two Mexican passports, two birth certificates, three identity certificates, and several vehicle registration cards.

While fake identification documents are regularly seized in the mail, these were valid government documents, and the passports belonged to two Mexican citizens. Neither of the two Mexicans obtained permission from the U.S. government to be in the country, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection explained.

“With it being in St. Louis, it’s kind of an oddity,” said Steve Bansbach, spokesman for CBP’s Midwestern region, adding the incident “may be on the rise as far as e-commerce.”

The incident also indicates immigrants who sought to evade arrest while crossing the border may be successfully getting past Border Patrol, as nearly half of agents are working indoors processing migrant families, not in the field.

It appears that some are not content with just flouting immigration laws and are now importing documents to get around other US laws.
