A Leola man is among 18 indicted Monday by federal prosecutors in an alleged fake driver's license scheme, The Plain Dealer newspaper reported Tuesday.

Artak Serobyan, 25, operated as an intermediate broker in the scheme, the Cleveland, Ohio, newspaper said.

Others indicted for conspiracy to traffic in fake licenses and identification cards were from Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey, The Plain Dealer reported.

The FBI believes anywhere from 300 to 500 fake documents were obtained through the scheme, the newspaper reported.

The scheme involved producing fake Ohio driver's licenses or identification cards for illegal immigrants, The Plain Dealer said. It was connected to a larger scheme to bring Ukrainians to the United States on fake visas.

The FBI said in October that an employee of the U.S. embassy in Kiev was selling visas for $12,000, the newspaper reported.

How nice of these guys to provide such a wonderful service for Illegal Aliens. These guys are real humanitarians. These clowns could have put the US in danger with their elaborate money making scheme. I hope they get the absolute Max.

Boricua, these ppl dont give a damn about you, me, or anyone else. Im the biggest screamer when it comes to stuff like this. They dont care who there giving their services to, its about the root of all evil...the dollar. Meanwhile these illegals are coming into our country to supposedly live a better life than they had, and most of them are causing all kinds of chaos. Im with you girl, give em the max, they deserve no less. As an afterthought, these schemers can do just as well in jail, as they can out. Its a catch 22.

This is a battle we must--WIN--against illegal immigration, but we must have an orderly flow of legal newcomers specially professional people in the highest pinnacle of Engineers, computers and other skills. We cannot, shouldn't accept anymore poor people, when our nation has millions of mixed gender at the bottom rungs of the employment ladder living in poverty. NO AMNESTY, but amendments to the 1986 (IRCA) can achieve this goal, even though the American people are constantly lied to by those in power. Prior to any new laws all those potential immigrants waiting in other lands, already processed should be given first priority in receiving a work visa. While we spend billions of taxpayer dollars on the incessant wars, some of The People's money should have been appropriated for the originally designed border fence, not the single-layer barrier that was underfunded, with no intention of stopping the rush of desperate humanity to satisfy the money-craving business community.

NUMBERSUSA will show you the illegal immigrant costs and the enforcement gradings of those in Washington. CAPSWEB will explain irreversible population growth in California and nationwide. Other sites of interest on Immigration enforcement is ALIPAC and AMERICAN PATROL and THE DARK SIDE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. OH! DON'T FORGET THE 28 CENTS POSTCARD TO THOSE WHO THINK THEY CONTROL US.



The open border movement has started a drive to get those who approve of another disastrous AMNESTY, to send postcards to Washington. Well anti-illegal immigration, pro-sovereignty and--NO--Comprehensive Immigration Reform can do-one-better? Opponents of AMNESTY should call their politician at 202-224-3121, or go there in person to their offices. SPELL OUT TO THE SCREENER OR AID, to take your name and phone number, stating decisively--NO AMNESTY. Then every American, black white, red or brown person, who see this as a treasonous portrayal of American and legal immigrant workers, should also buy a postcard and bombard your Senator or Representative. We can stop this travesty to our immigration laws, because under President Obama, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Sen.Gutierrez D-IL, Sen.Harry Reid (D-NV), Speaker N. Pelosi (D-CA), Sen. Diane Feinstein D-CA, and the rest of the cast of Un-American characters, will have us paying billions of dollars, to support the 20-30 million plus already here, and then the rolling uncountable numbers that will attack the border once the word is heard from Belize to China.

Another Amnesty will just start a stampede, which all taxpayers will have to support. As the fence is now, the underfunded barrier will not stop the human deluge. It is a catastrophe waiting to happen and a matter of survival in America. A majority of tourists who overstay their tourist visa are illegal aliens. Neither crossing the border or overstaying tourist visas, is a violation against THE RULE OF LAW. Unlike other countries--entering America without permission is a minimal offense/'.This is thanks to globalists, business organizations that politicians have catered to for generations. If our laws--WERE ENFORCED--from the beginning, not weakened or dismantled by previous White House occupancy we would not have been--INVADED? NOW WRITE YOUR POSTCARDS AND REMEMBER TO PUT A STAMP ON IT. GOOGLE--your local and state policy makers or find their electoral address, email address and phone numbers. Even your local phone book has this information. THE OTHER SIDE THINKS WE DON'T HAVE THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE, TO STOP THIS CRAZY MOVE TOWARDS THIS ILL-CONCEIVED AMNESTY? THEY WILL SOON FIND OUT THAT THEY ARE--DEAD WRONG!
