Tools exist — from biometrics to smart cards — that can verify a citizen’s identity, but at what cost?
Immigration officials and law enforcement agents arrested 24 people and seized fake documents and counterfeiting equipment near the Adams-Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. in early May. Officials seized 360 bogus green cards, 281 fraudulent social security cards, 70 fake employment authorization cards and 46 counterfeit driver’s licenses from California, Utah and Florida.
