Watch: Gangbangers Openly Sell Fake IDs, Green Cards to Migrants on NYC Streets

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, peddling the bogus documents for $80 to $250 to migrants in Queens.

“It’s big business,” a law enforcement source told the outlet on Friday.

Forged social security cards can be used to open a bank account and potentially obtain a valid driver’s license — which is needed to vote.

“Once people have these fake cards, they can work, they can travel, they can access a lot of aspects and services in the United States,” said Roy Fenoff, an associate professor at the Department of Criminal Justice at the Citadel, South Carolina.

“There are people getting these cards that are not here just to get a job, that they have other intentions, and this helps them carry out criminal activity.”

From the New York Post:

Many migrants buy the forgeries to land jobs where employers do not look too carefully at documentation.

But others can have much darker intentions.

Armed with such ID, a person could “load up a truck with bombs … and bring it underneath the Holland Tunnel and create something major and disastrous,” warned Bruce Foucart, a former special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations in New England.

“For someone that wants to do terrorist activity or is a national security threat, it’s easy to establish this second life within the US,” said Foucart.

“I guarantee right now, we’re just waiting for another 9/11.”

NYC locals expressed their dismay at the fake ID mills operating in broad daylight.

“If they’re doing social security number and nobody says sh*t, next time it’ll be weapons and passports,” said Zee Omar, 24, a clerk at Candy Grocery Food Corp. on Roosevelt Avenue.

“Everyone can do what they want now.” 

Another local said, “People from other boroughs are coming specifically to this area to get the IDs, all the new migrants are coming here.”

Law enforcement sources also told The Post that fake IDs can allow criminal aliens to repeatedly commit crimes without even having them on their record.

“If they’ve never been fingerprinted before, under their fake name they can get arrested five, six, seven, eight times…and they themselves would never have a record,” said John Cutter, retired NYPD deputy chief of the Intelligence Division.

“With fake IDs, they become [a] ghost, so they become more emboldened and more willing to break the law and potentially do something that’s really serious,” he added, admitting there are likely 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 nursing student Laken Riley at the University of Georgia, is in federal custody in a case involving alleged possession of a fake green card, which he used to get work at the school.

Nearly 180,000 illegals have streamed into the city since the spring of 2022, which has created a massive demand for the forged documentation.

The charge for making fake IDs is “criminal possession of a forged instrument,” which is a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison.

But given the Democrats’ soft-on-crimes policies in the city, it remains to be seen if these crimes will actually be prosecuted, especially in time for the 2024 election.
