“先生,辦證麼?”  

It’s a passport to trouble — and it can be bought for just $260 on the streets of Jackson Heights, Queens。   In just one hour, The Post was able to buy a phony green card, Social Security card and New York state driver’s license from a stranger on a corner — all of which could serve as a gateway to obtain legitimate IDs。   The cards are frighteningly real — convincing enough to fool creditors, potential employers and security at buildings and even the airport。   Experts said the biggest fear is that these IDs are being bought by people who slipped past border crossings。   “You get that legitimate ID, and this one goes away,” said John Cutter, retired NYPD deputy chief of the Intelligence Division, as he tossed the fake Social Security card in the air。   “The next thing you know, you’re legit even though you never came across the border legally, nobody really knows who you are, you’ve never paid taxes, but now you’re a legitimate citizen, and now you start your history。   “That’s the scary part, because, let’s face it, people working in government agencies aren’t always cognizant of the security risks of these things,” said Cutter, who runs a private security company。   On Roosevelt Avenue, known to investigators as the “East Coast epicenter” for fake IDs, officials believe 10 mills operate between 103rd and 76th streets。   In 2007, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown netted one of the gang-related groups. It was raking in more than $1 million annually selling the bogus cards on the streets. Investigators found that while most of the ring’s buyers were illegal immigrants, a handful were criminals involved in identity theft。   Five years later, the illegal industry continues to thrive and sellers on the street avoid the watchful eyes of patrol cops and surveillance cameras。   擔心沒護照?隻要花上260美元,你就能在紐約皇後區的繁華商業街傑克遜高地買到假證。   僅用一個小時,《紐約郵報》的記者就從角落裡的一個陌生人手中買到瞭假綠卡、社會安全卡與紐約州駕照,擁有瞭這些,你就可以獲得合法身份證明瞭。   這些證件足以以假亂真,足以騙過債主、未來雇主、樓宇甚至機場的安保人員。   專傢表示,最擔心的是這些身份證明被賣給瞭非法入境的人們。   已經退休的紐約市警察局情報處副處長約翰•卡特爾撕掉假的社會安全卡扔向空中,說:“你得到瞭合法的身份證明之後,就不需要它瞭。”   “之後,即便你是非法入境,你的身份也合法瞭,沒人真正知道你是誰,你從沒有繳過稅,但你現在已經是合法公民,開始瞭你以合法身份在美國生活的歷史。”   卡特爾說:“這正是恐怖之處,因為,事實上,政府工作人員不總能意識到這類事情的安全風險。”卡特爾開瞭一傢私人安全公司。   在被調查人員稱為假證“東海岸中心”羅斯福大街,政府官員認為在103號大街和76號大街之間有十個假證團夥。   在2007年,皇後區地方檢察官理查德•佈朗抓獲瞭一個辦假證團夥,他們在大街上出售假證的年收入可超過100萬美元。調查人員發現,盡管該團夥的大部分買傢是非法移民,仍有一部分人是參與身份盜用的罪犯。   五年後,這一非法產業仍然非常猖獗,大街上的賣傢躲開巡警的犀利目光和攝像頭監控出售假證。
