"
An investigation has revealed an undocumented immigrant was working for over a decade as a Department of Public Safety officer in Arizona."
According to KVOA, Carmen Figueroa retained employment with DPS for 13 years possibly by using a fake birth certificate. She served as a spokesperson for the department, and more recently as an officer.
The investigation into Figueroa reportedly started when her brother applied for a U.S. visa. After Immigration and Customs Enforcement ran a background check on him, they learned his sister worked for DPS.

That right there is just a paperwork problem and the law screwing with good people. As a law enforcement officer she would be a good person in my book. That bugs me that good people can get screwed by the same law they uphold. That's just wrong in every definition around.

Sherriff Arpaio must have been overrun.
Well, that's one way of looking at it. The law you choose to enforce on others for a living while you violate it yourself is somehow unfairly screwing you over when you get caught.

Isn't that sickening that illegals can stay hired for so long? I'm absolutly appalled by all of this. And it just keeps getting worse and worse.
bags if you weren't such a blue meanie you wouldn't look at it that way.. :)
So she committed fraud to get her position, and this is called upholding the law now? Nice.
Yes, but her intentions were good; she wanted to protect and to serve.
PS "undocumented" immigrant?
How 'bout illegal?
We're either a nation of laws or we're not.
I read elsewhere she "believed" she was a US citizen. I didn't waster my time looking at where and why she said that. Apparently her illegal parents let her believe that?
I just am curious, given that I have had to show my birth certificate, if it ever occurred to her that she did not have a US state birth certificate. And maybe that was might be an issue, given her parents origins ....
Did she have a US Passport? What did she do, bring in a utility bill in?
Surely as she wandered through the many systems and was checking off the "US Citizen?" box, it never occurred to her.
This a classic case of not wanting to know. And that is giving her the benefit of the doubt. (How did she get a drivers license way back when?)
