FTA
"In its decision Monday, the court ruled that to win convictions for identity theft, prosecutors had to show that illegal immigrants knew that false identification documents they presented to employers actually belonged to another real person."

Yeah, I'm sure the ILLEGAL Immigrants had no idea they were doing anything wrong, no idea they were here illegally, no idea that those social security numbers used to get the fake documents, the people they had to pay to get the false documents, I'm sure they hadn't a clue that they might be doing something illegal. I'm also sure the sky in there world is floresent orange and olive drab. They had no idea they were stealing someone's identity, no way of knowing... And if you believe that I have a small bridge for sale, it's over the ocean in my back yard right now.
