Tampa, Fla.- A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) led investigation resulted in a significant criminal sentence for Carlos Guzman Tejeda, 23, a Dominican national that pled guilty to charges of knowingly importing a controlled substance.

"This case demonstrates how ICE and our federal law enforcement partners seek criminal prosecution of individuals who mislead law enforcement officials and tarnish the integrity of our immigration system," said Sue McCormick, special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in Tampa.

On Nov. 10, 2008, Carlos Guzman Tejeda flew into Orlando International Airport from the Dominican Republic claiming to be Ferdinand Machado Morales, a native of Puerto Rico.

When Tejeda was questioned about his nationality, he presented a U.S. passport, a New York identification card and a social security card. When officials checked the social security number and date of birth Tejeda provided, records showed that the number belonged to an individual names Machado Morales who is currently incarcerated in a Pennsylvania prison.

His suspected identity fraud was referred to ICE for investigation. Subsequently, ICE special agents in Orlando assisted and DSS special agents questioned Tejeda at the Orlando International Airport.

While being interviewed, Tejeda requested to use the restroom where he passed a pellet. The pellet was field tested and reacted positive for heroin. Tejeda was then taken to the hospital for an x-ray and treatment. In total, Tejeda passed 84 pellets of heroin.

Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I see the DR GOONS are reading their play-book and are following the Blueprint for the United States "One World Domination"

Scary,...But true

Their ultimate goal was and is to establish a “New World Order”, a totalitarian one-world government ruled by the very few and very rich...Like GW BUSH and His Cronies

Don't believe me.....

Try reading the truth

New Age in Our Age - Government.

We in the good ole' U.S. of A. are experiencing a very real paradigm shift. U. S. Patriotism and Christianity are not only becoming passe', but these nationalistic and monotheistic views are now viewed as a danger to the progression of the up-and-coming world dictatorship.

Sadly another man who idiotically thought he would outsmart law enforcement.

The question we need to ask ourselves is 'WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CREATE A GREATER MORAL FIBER IN OUR PEOPLE TO WORK HARD AND EARN AN HONEST LIVING?"
"HOW CAN WE SHOW TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT IT PAYS TO STUDY AND BECOME SOMEONE OF VALUABLE IN OUR GLOBAL SOCIETY?

We have so many dominicans or of dominican descent to look up to and take as leaders and innovators to follow. We can see their lives as examples for which to aspire to.

Let see..... 23 + prison time (maybe 7 to 8 years) he'll be in his early 30s when sent back to DR, and young enough to try it again ... maybe to Europe this time... GOD BLESS THE GREAT DEPORTATION SCAM.

If authorities don't get to the source, to the person masterminding this business, then news like this one will continue to pour into the media. Falsification of documents is an easy business for printers and professional experties in the design fields. There are not too many in our country to check on, specially those who don't have an income to show their actual wealth. Check them out!
