Illegal aliens arrested for stealing identity

Two Mexican nationals face deportation after they were arrested for identity theft on Monday at a local contractor's office.

Ricardo Palomo-Coronado, 30, and Delfino Martinez-Sanchez, 54, were removed on Wednesday from the Dyer County Jail by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

According to reports from the Dyersburg Police Department, the Dyer County Sheriff's Department and the Nebraska State Patrol, the two were arrested with identity documents from a man named Christopher Inskeep.

Palomo-Coronado
Inskeep had reported his wallet missing in Lincoln, Neb. in 2004. Nebraska State Patrol investigator Jeff Ward was alerted in 2008 Inskeep's name had appeared on an employment document from Forcum Lannom in Dyersburg, where the subject worked from 2005 to 2006.

A Nebraska investigator called Forcum Lannom and asked for employment documents for the man using Inskeep's name. He received images of a Texas driver's license and Social Security card with Inkeep's personal information.

On Monday, a Forcum Lannom staffer called Ward and said a Hispanic male who identified himself as Inskeep was to arrive shortly to apply for a job.

Dyersburg criminal investigators arrived at 10:30 a.m. to find two Hispanic males, a Hispanice female and a male child sitting in a van with the doors open, filling out employment documents.

The group attempted to start the van and leave when police arrived, the report said.

The female driver was identified as Rosalia Manzanares, Clarkton, Mo. and showed a Missouri driver's license and Social Security card with her name.

Manzanares told police she did not know the names of the two men.

Police found the men had Inskeep's information on a Social Security car and Kansas driver's license.

An ICE investigator interviewed the two at the police station and found Palomo-Coronado admitted he had purchased the Inskeep documents in Missouri for $1,500. Delfino Martinez-Sanchez had a Texas driver's license and Social Security card in the name of David Loza-Gracia.

Palomo-Coronado said he had entered the U.S. illegally in April and had been previously deported. Martinez-Sanchez said he had entered the country illegally in 1999.

Both said they were from Mexico and were using the IDs to obtain work, said the report.

During the mens' appearance in Dyersburg City Court on Wednesday, the initial identity theft charges (which are felonies and cannot be tried in a municipal court) were lowered to misdemeanor criminal impersonation charges.

Palomo-Coronado and Martinez-Sanchez were given a 30-day sentence, suspended to time served. Court costs were also suspended.

The man had to use a court-ordered translator for the hearing, but thanked Judge Dean Dedmon before returning to their seats.

Cross referencing a persons identity with the e-verify data base, will assist in bringing to halt bogus documents. The Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) if enacted would strengthen all state immigration status laws and punish parasite employers from undermining enforcement. It's funding would add 20.000 border agents, plus more internal (ICE) officers and equipment. The US government already uses this system to identify their workers and has a 90.5 percent success rate. AMNESTY is coming soon and if you think we are flooded with millions of illegal aliens now, the next waves will be a financial nightmare for taxpayers. Don't let the US government and state agencies tax you, to support the hiring of illegal immigrants by pariah businesses. Ask your Democratic politician why they are not sponsoring the SAVE ACT?

These people have conned their way into getting free medical care, free college education.....they get More freebies with each kid they have. They get free food, low cost housing. If they stay single, they get MORE!Instead of trying to do their share of helping the economy...they are a part of the problem!! PARASITES!! They need to be extinquished!!!!With the Middle Eastern companies crippling our country with their blantant robbery of oil and gas, we also have these illegals taking everything they can get. We do not owe them ANYTHING! Yet our government is pointing fingers at the wrong people......PAY ATTENTION!!! Our fearless leaders have no spines, and they do not care about the people. We have never been in such dire straits....Get Tough Government Officials!!

2 LATE...THE HISPANIC RACE IS NOW THE 2ND LARGEST MINORITY GROUP IN AMERICA....I AM NOT KNOCKING THEM...I WOULD COME TO AMERICA TOO IF I KNEW HOW LUXURIOUS IT WOULD BE FOR ME, BUT THE GOVERNMENT GOTS TO EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD....IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE CITIZENS THAT WORK HARD EVERYDAY AND THEN HAVE TO WAIT ON HOSPITAL CARE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE INSURANCE...

-- Posted by DMASE on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 3:15 PM

Okay... Their not the only 2!!! They come over here no taxes, NiCe homes, NiCe cars, good jobs. But us that pay taxes are struggling to get what we need, and want. What is really going on! Does anybody else see this. I'm not against mexicans bt if they gonna come here then they need to do as we do. Start from the bottom and pay taxes!!!!!

-- Posted by dealingwithit on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 5:41 PM

I think that all should be shipped to a deserted island so they could never come back!!!!!!!!

-- Posted by healthgirl on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 6:30 PM

Oh I forgot to say that their good for pileing up in a house maby 20 or 30 in the same house with 10 different familys living together. Beer bottles strown all over the front yard. Like a bunch of rats. They don't pay taxes and live off the system. SEND THEM BACK

-- Posted by healthgirl on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 6:33 PM

If we send them back, who would do the dirty, hard work that they do......... certainly not us fat, lazy Americans..... I have a friend in the construction business who says that he can't make it without Mexican labor......... Americans, white or black, won't do it.............. In Mexico there is no welfare,,,,,,,, if you don't work down there, you don't eat........... We Americans can learn something from that...... but we are all spoiled....... even those on stamps and AFDC........ Every American thinks like a rich person........ they don't want to do a damn thing...... they want to pay somebody to do it........... Mexicans will actually WORK..........

-- Posted by treasons on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 7:27 PM

Illegal means illegal.Send them back to Mexico. Other people come here legally every day so why should they be any different?

-- Posted by jms58 on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 7:37 PM

Totally agree with you muscadine. After all, they were caught doing what...?!!! Trying to get a job. They work to low paying jobs and live many people to house because that's their means of survival. Very few of us "Good Ole Citizens" live off minimum wage jobs the Hispanics are trying to get.

-- Posted by My2Centz on Thu, Jun 19, 2008, at 8:17 PM

These people are in our country......yes, they work hard, they have time to have LITTERS of kids! Who pays for them to be born? WE DO! Who pays for their medical care? WE DO! Their education, AND not to leave out free food, housing, etc, etc.! Of course WE DO!

They grow up and have MORE LITTERS and the taxes we pay are multiplied. I could go on and on.

They are cunning thieves, child molesters, murderers, they steal our ID's, they have drugs, and whatever else they can think of to do illegally, BECAUSE...THEY CAN!!!!They DO NOT pay taxes. They DO not buy insurance OF ANY KIND!!

I do know that if anyone wants to come into our country...WELCOME THEM! As long as they go through the legal system. Most of the legals at least try to hold their own. They even attempt to learn English.....OOOOOOoooooo!!

Of course there are other illegal immigrants from other parts of the world, who are just as bad.

The prisons are overloaded with these vermin.

SEND THEM BACK and DO NOT allow them back in!!!

They march and say PEOPLE ARE NOT ILLEGAL......that statement alone lets me know just how UNEDUCATED they are.

SSDD... if our government doesn't get their 'stuff' in one sock, I'm thinking about swimming the Rio Grande & requesting political asylum.

Besides, if you can't get Americans to do the work, maybe you should check your leadership skills. Slave labor is worldwide and perhaps the No. 1 reason companies relocate abroad. It's easy to get some one to work like a slave when they can't speak your language, living on the run and want to escape religious persecution and political corruption.

Another thought... skilled labor for slave wages?

Employers SHOULD be held accountable for hiring illegal aliens. If they are not sure of the employee's documentation, then don't hire them. Shame on you greedy businessmen. In my eye you are worse then the cancerous illegal immigrants.

SOrry no good, theiving messicans are trying to turn this country into mexico. Did you notice the woman in the van lied by denying she knew the names of the 2 men? They will lie, cheat, steal and kill to get what they want, and you only think they will work...after they get the job, they slack off and think they can not be fired. They also LITTER our landscape, think nothing of throwing trash on our roads and highways, and send their kids into stores to shoplift. I'M SICK OF HAVING TO PRESS ONE FOR ENGLISH.

It's not a funny situation but I have to laugh out loud at talk2t53. I'm tired of pressing 1 for English also...ROFL

Okay, people. Some of you people make me ashamed to call myself an American. I am going to only concentrate on one of your stereotypes. Where do all of you get the idea that all Mexican people litter? My yard is on the corner of two streets. Both my yard and the yard across the main street are always littered with trash. And who is it that I always see throwing it out the window? White people. I am white, so don't start in on me being racist. I spend so much time picking up that garbage that I should be given an orange vest and credit for community service. And when I am out there, it is always one of three people that tosses their garbage:

1.) The teenage girl who is yapping on her cellphone while she's driving her new convertibale that daddy just bought her.

2.) The redneck who is driving his ungodly loud pickup truck (which is probably shooting out tons of smoke).

3.) The expensive suit wearing-executive who is speeding their BMW, yapping on their cellphone, sending text messages while arranging a meeting on their blackberry.

And the Mexicans that live on my street? Their yards are IMMACULATE. They keep it mowed. They keep it clean, while the white people that live next door to them let their yard grow for months at a time before mowing it, and let garbage sit where it lands. Disgusting. So before you start in on all of these stereotypes, look around you and see who is actually making the mess.

PLEASE LET US ALL BE TUNED UP AS TO GET IT MOVING FAST THANK YOU??????

I'm sorry...but I can't understand a word that getter-done is trying to say. WHAT????

-- Posted by justme30 on Fri, Jun 20, 2008, at 11:14 PM

Muscadine; I don't know who your friend in constructon is, but my husband and several other hard working Americans have been put out of construction work because our government helps pay Mexicans' salaries and if the Mexicans are illegal they will work for less money. I realize that there are some people in our country that won't get out in the heat and work for a living, but I also know for a fact that there are several that will work if given the opportunity. The company my husband worked for has one of the illegal Mexicans hired as a foreman and he hires other illegals to work for him and then lays off our hard working husbands.

Well I have to comment on this topic .. I will not say that Im racist , fore I hate everyone of all races equally , but I do not like most , and yes I said most , mexicans .. Simply because most are here illegally . The way I see it is if you want to be here , then do it the right way . I hate having to work and pay for them to live, eat, have a baby , and other things here in America . However , you guys arent thinking too straight . Look at the black race . Alot of them sit on their lazy butts and live off the system as well . Thats why I cant say anything bad about mexicans , because everyone does it . The only difference is , they are here illegally . I do think they should have faced felonies though for stealing the guys identity . But hey , Im not a judge so what does it matter what I think .

So after reading most of the comments on this article I just had to finally give up reading them.. It really upsets me what some people can say about others. I am a white college student who has friends in very many different race categories. And it disgusts me to hear people talk about how bad mexicans are. I'm sorry but every mexican that i have met (and i have met ALOT) are hard working and some of the nicest people you could ever met. Mexicans do some of the work that most americans you cant pay enough to get out there and do that work. Yes they may be here illegaly but I don't see many Americans out on the side of the road building a bridge in 100 degree weather. And I have never met a Mexican who didn't keep their house extremely clean. FOr the comment about how mexicans lie, cheat, steal, and kill for what they want is a lie.. you really need to look around.. there are some people in every race who cheat, lie, steal and kill.. check some recent articles!!!

well like i said , i dont hate just mexicans , i hate everyone equally , so im not racist . ive never said that all are the same , i said most . the ones that are here illegally should not be here , i dont care what kind of work they do . there are people out there trying to get a good construction job , and their app gets thrown out because a mexican will do it cheaper . its bs .. but like i said , not all are the same , i just dont like the fact that they are here illegally , dont pay taxes ! i pay for their food and house because they are on welfare or food stamps .. again , i said not all are the same , most are . so dont jump my case , at least im someone on their side when it comes to them working . i also think that the employers who hire them should be penalized as well .

-- Posted by JU5T1C34@LL on Mon, Jun 23, 2008, at 7:43 PM

The problem here is not racism, its illegal aliens taking away what us americans have worked for all our lives. I know I'm not gonna bow down and let illegals have my SS. If you want to be here register with the selectice service, you can also fight our wars and Speak English,if you love enough to be over here, Work making honest pay and pay in your taxes and social security then maybe US Americans can find a way to let you in, But until then DEPORTATION!!!!

IT ALL STARTED WITH THAT 1ST EXCHANGE STUDENT.....THEY HAD A PLAN WAY BEFORE AMERICA CAUGHT ON....

LOL

Unless your Native American, your ancestors were ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Just be glad that the Mexicans aren't giving you blankets covered in Small Pox.

-- Posted by theartfuldodger on Thu, Jun 26, 2008, at 11:31 AM

No they arent giving us blankets with small pox , but why exactly do we have to pay taxes for them ? Why cant they just come here the right way , as my ancestors did ? And pay in taxes like everyone else ? Thats all Im saying .. I dont have a problem with all mexicans by any means .. Just the ones who come the wrong way ..
