A woman originally identified as Morales was charged in connection with the crash that killed four children on Tuesday near Cottonwood. Federal investigators said Friday they believe the woman is using an alias and is in the United States illegally.A birth certificate and Social Security card are among documents that can be used to get a Minnesota ID, which the woman was carrying when her van collided with the school bus.

Police shouldn’t be surprised that — if they discover the ID is false — there could be multiple “Alianiss Nunez Morales” around the country, said Uriel Perez Espinoza, vice president of UNITE HERE Local 17, which organizes restaurant and hotel workers.

“Someone may have sold an ID to her [Morales] and then to other people in other states,” Espinoza said. “There are guys who are exploiting people. This is what happens when you live in the shadows.”

Feds ‘ignored the problem’

Morales’ identification indicated she was from Puerto Rico, which is one of the hot spots for bogus identification in Minnesota, said law enforcement officials. They say they are increasingly frustrated about the fake driver’s licenses, green cards and other IDs showing up across the state.

“It’s pretty clear the federal government has ignored the problem so long that it’s become institutionalized,” said Michael Campion, Minnesota public safety commissioner.

There are more and more stories hitting the news about Americans being killed in automobile accidents by illegal aliens. I wonder how many more fatal accidents are required before Bush starts to care.
