had a beautiful home in an upscale neighborhood in Vienna. --
But his life was turned upside down in April of 2003 when he
was caught smuggling illegal aliens into the U.S. and charged

Mouse Mexican IDs shelled out in Grand Rapids
By 2 p.m., 600 Mexican citizens living in the
Grand Rapids region waited patiently in long lines at the mall...
In fact, they waited in three long lines -- first a line to verify
their documentation, then a second line to pay for the new [bogus ID]
card and, finally, a third line for a background check and
photo. -- The ID cards resemble driver's licenses, but prove
the bearer is from Mexico and has no criminal record.  |
