Criminals with gang ties are selling fake green cards and Social Security cards to illegal aliens on the streets of New York City, highlighting the security threat America faces thanks to Joe Biden’s open border crisis.
The New York Post documented criminals, some with ties to MS-13 and transnational cartels, sell the fake documents to migrants in Queens for $80 to $250.
“It’s big business,” a law enforcement source told the newspaper on Friday.

Counterfeit Social Security cards can be used to open a bank account and possibly obtain a valid driver’s license, which is required to vote.
“Once people have these counterfeit cards, they can work, travel and access many aspects and services in the United States,” said Roy Fenoff, associate professor at the Department of Criminal Justice at the Citadel, South Carolina. .
“There are people who get these cards who are not just here to get a job, but who have other intentions, and this helps them carry out criminal activities.”
Of the New York Post:
Many migrants buy the counterfeits to land jobs where employers don’t look too carefully at the documentation.
But others may have much darker intentions.
Armed with such an ID, someone could “load a truck with bombs… and take them under the Holland Tunnel and create something huge and disastrous,” warned Bruce Foucart, a former special agent in charge of New England Homeland Security Investigations. .
“For someone who wants to engage in terrorist activities or pose a threat to national security, it is easy to establish this second life within the US,” Foucart said.
“I guarantee we’re just waiting for another 9/11.”
New York locals expressed their dismay over the fake ID factories operating in broad daylight.
“If they fill out the social security number and no one says anything, next time it will be guns and passports,” said Zee Omar, 24, an employee at Candy Grocery Food Corp. on Roosevelt Avenue.
“Everyone can now do whatever they want.”
Another local said: “People from other parts of the city come to this area specifically to collect the IDs, all the new migrants come here.”
Law enforcement sources also told The Post that fake IDs could allow criminal aliens to repeatedly commit crimes without even having them on their criminal record.
“If they’ve never been fingerprinted, they could be arrested five, six, seven, eight times under their assumed name… and they would never have a criminal record themselves,” said John Cutter, retired deputy chief of intelligence of the NYPD.
“They are using fake IDs [a] spirit, so that they become more courageous and more willing to break the law and possibly do something that is really serious,” he added, admitting that there there are probably tens of thousands of fake green and social security cards circulating in the city.
Notably, the brother of Jose Ibarra, the Venezuelan national accused of killing University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, is in federal custody in a case involving possession of a fake green card, which he used to get work at the school.
Nearly 180,000 illegal immigrants have flooded into the city since spring 2022, creating a huge demand for forged documentation.
The charge for making fake IDs is “criminal possession of a forged instrument,” a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison.
But given Democrats’ soft policies in the city, it remains to be seen whether these crimes will actually be prosecuted, especially in time for the 2024 elections.
