Nine people were arrested Friday and are expected to be charged today in connection with an identity theft ring in Johnson County.
Johnson County sheriff’s deputies, federal immigration officials and representatives of the Kansas Department of Revenue arrested seven people on suspicion of identity theft at Engineered Air near Kill Creek Road and 83rd Street in De Soto. Two others were accused of making false identifications, one at Engineered Air and the other in Olathe.
Deputy Tom Erickson, a spokesman for the sheriff’s department, said charges would be filed today. He said all nine were employees at the company. Erickson said authorities think stolen identities were provided to illegal immigrants. Erickson said law enforcement officials were tipped off about the ring and that the investigation was continuing.
Chamber of Commerce does not support E-Verify!
Protects You! (And it’s free)
Did you know?
• All employers are legally required to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all new hires in the United States.
• I-9 violations can result in prison sentences, forfeiture of assets and civil fines.
E-Verify is an online system operated jointly by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration (SSA). Participating employers can check the work status of new hires online by comparing information from an employee's I-9 form against SSA and Department of Homeland Security databases. More than 69,000 employers are enrolled in the program, with over 4 million queries run so far in fiscal year 2008.

We need to let our Federal House members know we want E-Verify reauthorized with HR 19 1H as House Speaker Pelosi is trying to keep it off the table. With Americans losing their jobs and home why would we want to feed and house Illegals. Most illegal will never make enough to get off welfare and pay for their keep.
Immigration and Welfare Dependence
Welfare may be defined as means-tested aid programs: these programs provide cash, non-cash, and social service assistance that is limited to low-income households. The major means-tested programs include Food Stamps, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, public housing, the earned income credit, and Medicaid. Historically, recent immigrants were less likely to receive welfare than native-born Americans. But over the last thirty years, this historic pattern has reversed. As the relative education levels of immigrants fell, their tendency to receive welfare benefits increased. By the late 1990s immigrant households were fifty percent more likely to receive means-tested aid than native-born households.[15] Moreover, immigrants appear to assimilate into welfare use. The longer immigrants live in the U.S., the more likely they are to use welfare.[16]
A large part, but not all, of immigrants’ higher welfare use is explained by their low education levels. Welfare use also varies by immigrants’ national origin. For example, in the late 1990s, 5.6 percent of immigrants from India received means-tested benefits; among Mexican immigrants the figure was 34.1 percent; and for immigrants from the Dominican Republic the figure was 54.9 percent.[17] Ethnic differences in the propensity to receive welfare that appear among first-generation immigrants persist strongly in the second generation.[18] The relatively high use of welfare among Mexicans has significant implications for current proposals to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants.With the economy in the dump who are we going to feed and house Legal Workers or illegals who have broke our laws. I fear turmoil will make people act different when it's a matter of feeding your family or supporting illegals.
Contact our Less than Great Governor she is a supporter of illegals while Kansan are losing jobs,benefits and homes. She along with the Chamber want cheap labor while Kansan suffer.
Our Schools,roads,Medical are suffering and we spend these needed fund on illegals. Enforce our current immigration laws and demand E-Verify
