-Wanted work
-Was in the U.S. illegally

Replying to @FrankLuntz
“He did say he was a U.S. citizen, but they didn't believe him.”
An American citizen named Jose in Arizona was detained by immigration officials for 10 days. His family later provided officials with his birth certificate and Social Security card.
If I go up to the cops and tell them I murdered someone and then sign a statement to that effect, they are going to detain me until they figure out what's going on. That's what happened here, and it is not the fault of ICE or CBP that they were lied to.
And that brings us to the obvious question, given how odd this situation is. Was this a setup? //

So we have one of two things here:
1) Lying to a federal agent and knowingly making a false report
2) Forged/fake official documents
Charge him either way to deter this kinda behavior.
