Burning Atlanta

Sickening. The worst part is how they sold commercial licenses. Hence, illegals that haven't passed any test could be driving a loaded semi on the roads.

It's always about the money

A Robbinsville, N.J., woman yesterday was sentenced to 75 months in federal prison for scheming to obtain Pennsylvania driver's licenses for illegal aliens who paid up to $4,000 for the credentials.

Altagracia "Grace" Rosario, 49, also was ordered by U.S. District Judge Joseph E. Irenas to serve three years of supervised release following her incarceration.

Rosario's bail was revoked when she was convicted May 29 along with her 30-year-old daughter, Nancy Elgende, and 45-year-old Jose Rios, both of Robbinsville, in Mercer County, on the charge of conspiracy to unlawfully obtain driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

Ronald Henry, 65, a former Pennsylvania Department of Transportation driver's license examiner from Philadelphia, also was charged in the indictment and pleaded guilty to the offense during trial.

"These defendants enabled illegal aliens to get driver's licenses and in some cases climb behind the wheel of tractor-trailers," said U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie. "That's not only criminal, it's frightening. We're glad they are out of business and now serving federal prison terms."

The jury found that Rosario charged between $2,500 and $4,000 for Pennsylvania driver's licenses that would have cost valid applicants as little as $31.
