Department of Justice adds prosecutors on the border
The Department of Justice announced Thursday it would invest $7 million to boost U.S. Attorney’s offices along the Southwest border region.
The department will hire 64 assistant U.S. attorneys and 35 support staff to expand the prosecution of criminal activity including human trafficking, drug and gun smuggling, violent crimes and money laundering.
“Border issues are a top priority for the Department of Justice,” said Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip, in a press release. “This infusion of resources will provide for new prosecutors and staff as part of the department’s comprehensive, but flexible, strategy to fight crime along the border.”
The new positions will boost offices in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California.

I can say that the action of the Department of Justice. They are just proving that they are concerned with what is now happening in their country. They are making their defense team more stronger to lessen the crimes.

[‘It is great proof that it is not easy to live and work in America.’] Particularly with the added burden created by Illegal Aliens, it gets more difficult everyday for American Citizens.
Identity theft often tied to illegal immigration
Link - http://bordercontrol.blogspot.com/
The IRS said Amanda Bien owed the federal government $3,300 in back taxes for five jobs in multiple states. Jobs she had never worked. It turned out a 28-year-old illegal immigrant had used Bien’s name and Social Security number.
Though the IRS may suspect that multiple people are using the same Social Security number, the agency does not investigate identity theft. Local police and prosecutors who investigate identity theft cannot deport the illegal immigrants they arrest.
Many victims don’t learn of the crime until their credit score drops or a loan is denied. In one recent case, a man found out when he was arrested for a crime committed by an illegal immigrant using his identity.
The market for false documents and stolen Social Security numbers is booming. Officials say that legal residents with Hispanic last names, or names like Bien that could sound Hispanic, are especially vulnerable. Children and the elderly are also especially susceptible.
Federal estimates indicate that nearly 10 million Americans become victims of identity theft each year. ‘We know there are thousands and thousands of people working here who aren’t even supposed to be here,’ said Brent Anderson, assistant U.S. attorney for Kansas. ‘There is rampant ID theft going on.’
