26 Arizona DMV workers caught in driver's license scam

From this:

Federal and state agents Thursday charged 26 state workers with illegally issuing driver's licenses to human traffickers, undocumented immigrants and drug dealers, calling the actions a threat to national security.

Immediately, Gov. Janet Napolitano detailed a plan to prevent further fraud at the Motor Vehicle Division, but she said the measures likely will make getting a driver's license more complicated...

"All the undercovers [who conducted the sting] represented themselves as drug dealers or human traffickers, so the DMV employees' participation was to further criminal activity," Gray said.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said, "They've sold national security, in what I consider to be a very traitorous fashion, a despicable fashion, for 30 pieces of silver."

As an aside, Gov. Janet Napolitano - along with others - opposes Prop. 200, that would seek to prevent illegal aliens from voting and obtaining non-federally-mandated services.

This post discusses how the 9/11 hijackers obtained driver's licenses.

This shows how our immigration policy tends to make America into a druggocracy, like our bad neighbors to the south. Officials are more frequently capable of being bribed to sell their offices to the contraband-smugglers, the more people from countries with such customs are brought in on public subsidy, to the cheers of the power-hungry government professoriate. Why don't you want to help the poor Mexican, are you selfish, say the conspicous altruists, as they grab sinecures, funded on the taxpayer's money.
