McCain: I Don't Know How Many Passports We Let You Forge
Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), a member of the Gang of Eight that helped write and pass the immigration reform bill in that chamber, said he did not know how many passports a person could forge under the proposed law before being charged with a crime.On Capitol Hill on Wednesday, CNSNews.com asked McCain, Senator McCain, can I ask you a question about the Senate immigration bill? Under the bill, how many passports can someone forge before it becomes a crime? McCain said, Youre going to have to ask our folks that, I don't think that we stand for any forgeries." In the legislation that passed in the Senate, Section 1541 "Trafficking in Passports," it explains in detail that a person can be charged for a crime if they forge "3 or more passports," meaning that they potentially would not be charged if they falsely made only one or two passports. The criminal charges and penalties do not kick in until after "3 or more passports" are falsely made, issued, or transferred, etcetera. Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2013-07-19 |
