From the Daily News:
A Manhattan immigration lawyer was arrested Tuesday on charges of helping smuggle more than 450 illegal immigrants into the country.
Hak Tung Lam, 44, of Flushing, Queens, was charged with recommending where to bring the illegal immigrants - who were Chinese - to avoid detection, and filing false documents, according to documents filed in Manhattan Federal Court.
"Zealous representation of his clients - a group of international alien smugglers - allegedly meant assisting them in breaking the law," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.
A spreadsheet immigration officials obtained last month showed that Hak, who allegedly received $2,000 per immigrant, had helped 468 illegal immigrants.
Also arrested were his brother, Wen Wo Lam, 43, of Staten Island, and Ying Yang, 30, of Flushing, a receptionist at Hak's Bowery office.

Ying Yang? I guess ya just can't make this stuff up!
I'm sure all these illegals have anchor babies by now. Free medical, free education, free foodstamps. What a country! These brothers should be arrested for treason.
if this city cared, they could easily round up all the chinese, mexicans and africans who are mostly illegal yet provide them free sanctuary and fee social programs with no citizenship required. fucking a
Only 450 illegals in Flushing?
Will they even go to jail for this?

From one guy. There are a thousand Chinese smugglers (who hold no value for human life), and each of them is responsible for a few hundred of these burdens.
Tens of thousands just in one neighborhood. Is that sufficient enough to consider it an invasion? Lets get the National Guard in there and push them back into the sea!

In Flushing? That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Maybe US should create an "ID card" which only legal citizens is registered to have. Then they should have immigration officials/cops patroling on the street and randomly ask anyone for this card and if they don't have it with them, bring them, the cops can electronically check if they are legal or not with their SSN number. If they aren't legal, arrest them and then deport them if the final investigation is that they are illegal. If they have kids born here, deport with them. Actually, now you can see how complicated this gets.. and it all starts with the US law that anyone born in the US is a natural born citizen. So you can say US screw themselves over with this law.
I think they're all living in the basements on my block!
On the suggestion of creating new ID cards..
While I agree illegal smuggling is a cause for concern I believe the whole new ID cards proposal would never work because
1. It would be too expensive and difficult to carry out, and
2. It raises the question of civil rights and racism, even if they are illegal. Your suggestion sounds very similar to the recent Arizona immigration law requiring police to question (and eventually arrest) suspected illegal immigrants.
While your idea seems sound on paper, I think it would be too easy for people to manipulate that policy and risk the lives of U.S. citizens who happen to be a minority such as myself.
Excuse me. May I step by? This is the part of the movie where I came in.
Hey screw an ID badge; history has a great solution for this. Just make anyone who isn't a citizen sew a colored patch on to their clothing. Then we can tattoo them if they try to take the patch off. Yeah that'll work.
Maybe they all got here by crying political asylum due to gang rape like Dominique Strauss-Khan's newest hotel fling!
This must be the new American citizenship loop hole du jour that no one born here would even dream about doing but seems to be all the rage for the Republican import slaves to service them and bleed our taxes dry.
the roosevelt avenue areas in Queens all vote liberal/ democrat/progressive/rino's in to nyc government.
these leaders provide the sanctuary for the illegal alien hookers for the "working class".
