From WCBS880:Authorities say a dozen workers at a warehouse at Stewart International Airport have been charged with using forged immigration documents to get jobs.
State police say the employees of Empire Warehouse Solutions have been charged with falsifying business records and offering a false instrument for filing.
They say the 12 workers from Mexico, Peru, Chile and El Salvador used forged Social Security and resident alien cards to get hired.
The workers had access to airport operations areas, but police say they didn't pose a threat to air travelers and weren't part of any larger criminal operation.
All are being held Thursday in the Orange County Jail on no bail and are expected to be deported.

Just what we need after 9/11, airport workers with forged documentation. I also want to know, are these workers nuts? Did they not think that someone would check documentation for people with access to airplanes?
It's amazing how this continues to occur especially at an airport. This is becuase local pols do not treat illegal aliens as a criminal problem but it is - at the Federal level an illegal alien is someone who has arrived on our shore without permission or background being vetted for criminal history and is someone who does not pay taxes on his earnings, takes a job away from US citizens, and someone who uses all services including hospital, food stamps, shelters that are barely available to citizens. What citizens forget, forgery of citizen papers is a federal crime, which in the wrong hands endangers our entire population as terrorists are seeking to do just that. There is no differences between terrorist and illegals - wake up America protect what remains yours that is being taken away from you - your safety.
Illegal Aliens are criminals. They broke American laws by sneaking into this country. They should be treated as criminals. Our politicians don't see it that way and that is why we have such a big problem. Politicians also have to smarten up and realize that fake identification documents are a huge problem. Most illegals have fake IDs. How many of them steal ID's from poor unsuspecting Americans, dead people, etc. If my driver's license lapses, I have to go to the DMV and fill out the appropriate forms to get a new one. Illegals don't. They just pay someone to get the fake documentation they need. People better wise up -- especially the politicians. This constitutes identity fraud. As for security safety at airports -- whoever hired these people at Stewart Airport and any other airport should be fired and the FBI should follow the trail of the false documents and close that hole. Really serious stuff and of course the public once again is put at risk because people don't do their jobs properly.

ALL the people who ASSIST these immigrants in obtaining false identities are the ones I would like to see be held more accountable.
Not only the contractors that hire them, but the immigration lawyers who have the connections and the access to our courts. Look at Jackson Heights - VERY close attention should be paid to all the immigration lawyers in that area.
If these immigrants were working at the airport - perhaps they are working for the drug cartels.
Years ago an attorney from that area went to prison for laundering money for this immigrant drug king. These cartels are very big operations - and American attorneys are very needed by organized crime - they really couldn't operate without them.
And if one of these people is involved in a terrorism plot that kills American citizens, anyone involved in getting them this documentation should be tried for treason and hanged.
You can bet those guys were doing cartel or flesh trade work
The Dems are giving 30 million of them something called "care for the poor" for Christmas.
The 570 million Obama's going to steal from us at gunpoint.
Nice "gift" the Muzlem socialist is giving us for Christmas eh ?
first of all lets not forget we are all immigrants here in the U.S
whether we are citizens or not!
they were no endangerment to the airport. they were on the other side of the airport. The only thing they had access to is a fork lift & a scanner. I know every single one of them! & they are not criminals! They came here when they were babies. went to school here in the u.s & graduated from high school. They risked their lives working for themselves & most of all their families. yea nobody seems to think about that!
F.Y.I they are fighting to stay here! these people are NOT terrorist. Lets not forget the media is all talk. half the stuff they say is not true. These are good hearted people.
Their families nedd them especially their kids!
