Anonymous Group Leaks Personal Information of Alleged Illegal Immigrants in Utah

The personal information of 1,300 people who an anonymous group claims are illegal immigrants is circulating in Utah and authorities want to know whether any state employees are responsible.

The list, which includes names and Social Security numbers, was sent to media outlets, police, immigration agencies and others this week, The Associated Press reported. Also included are birth dates, workplaces, addresses and phone numbers. There are even the names of children and the due dates of pregnant women on the list.

A letter accompanying the list demands that those named on it be deported immediately.

Gov. Gary Herbert (pictured) has asked state agencies to investigate the source of the list. A spokesman for Utah's Department of Workforce Services said the probe has been given "high priority."

Most of the names on the list are of Hispanic origin, the AP said.

A letter from "Concerned Citizens of the United States" says their group "observes these individuals in our neighborhoods, driving on our streets, working in our stores, attending our schools and entering our public welfare buildings."

"We then spend the time and effort needed to gather information along with legal Mexican nationals who infiltrate their social networks and help us obtain the necessary information we need to add them to our list," the letter says.

The problem is the illegal aliens - not the people that compiled the list, and if the government had the information that could identify illegals why weren't they doing something about it?

I am hispanic and very proud of the people who has knowledge about cultures and diversity. The Indian or native American were very polite because they alowed intruders to stay in their territory. They were friendly and more natives became more knowledgeable. Well! I work hard and I pay taxes, but I have been traveling around the world, maybe because I love to learn about other cultures.


I have found that the United States have military base in Honduras they took control of the Panama Canal for years, and military bases all over the world. The soldiers go overthere and you do not want to know all the things that thy do and are not in the news. There are thounsands and thounsands of Americans including criminals that have been escaping from The United States , sex ofenders, and all type of criminals. Do you think that they were invited to be there and victimize inocent people.
If you research were the United States military bases are, you will be embarrased. Do you think in the constitution of these countries is stipulated that American military bases have to be there any time they want? The answer is no! but the American do, like they are in IRAK.

I understand that every one should have an ID. Who are responsibles for this situation? The white American who hired these people because they pay them cheap labor, not insuranse, not social security, no vacation, etc. Who do you think are digging on the street under the sun when the temperature is 104 degrees? those illegals that have 4 children in other third world countries and they might eat one time a day, but the white man's children who hired them live luxury and they have not clue what is starvation.
Do you think that white man who own a business wants to pay to you 30 dollars per hour, insurance, social security, vacation, uniformes, and others, and you probably will not do the job anyway because in a week, you will get skin cancer. Those are the jobs that those exploded people are doing in this country, in restaurants, they are doing the dishes in hot machines that I bet you will stay 3 hours and leave. In the fields planting and collecting vegetables for 2 or 3 dollars per hour all day in the sun. Do you think that they have a toilet and a place to eat for lunch? I am Hispanic American and I hope that everyone talk about other s people as human being and not to blame them for every mistake that others make. I do not support illegals because as I mentioned before everyone should have an ID. However, I do not put the blame only on them but in those who allowed them to continue with this system.

Do you know howmany oriental people we have in the United States? 17 million! When you go to the China Town, do you think they are all legal? Do you see that we are invaded by China in all products that we have in the United States. I will be scare of that, Do you think China has the economic situation that we are confronting now? of course no! I will no pay attention to poor people from Mexico who come to work and never will attempt or do anything against this country. I will control them with the law by providing permission to do the work and educate them more about our laws. They will never hurt these country. Pay attention to China that silently is invading us with merchandise, people, probably spying, bringing product that will poison the American such as the dry wall and tooth paste and many other article.

I was reaserching and I have found that the white are the majority who lives from welfare in this country, and it is reasonable, there are 120 million whites. you guys are the majority.

God bless you all!

This decade will be known as the decade that divides the nation - we have a country to the south of us, that is improving financially and will become a large trading partner. The 11,000,000 illigals will bring the American dream and products to Mexico. The jones's of Mexico will buy American products and help us grow stonger. No-we don't need anyone - who cares if they are split from their families -who cares if they go to Mexico or Honduras and spread hate for America. We Don't need them? The Euro has a combined GDP close to the US because they work together! A nation of hate - A nation divided will fall.

Think about it... The government has all kinds of information on you. sex, age, Soc. sec. #, address, vehicle registration, employment, on and on...but informing them about the whereabouts of illegal aliens is a violation of law? It's just more disengenuous political theatre...

Why, if they are illegal do they have social security numbers. If this turns out to be legit and we do have many illegals with social security numbers. That would explain why the program is broke. Only 48% of this country pays taxes. All of these programs are not sustainable, as margaret thatcher said for socialism....sooner or later you run out of people to take the money from. Who in their right mind would want to strive towards the American dream when what you work so hard for is taken away to be redistributed to others, whom more often than not do not deserve it. And why should the government control who I should be charitable to. That is against the constitution.

I wish a couple of illegals would use my social security number, I then in return get more social security when I retire. Remember they will probably never receive the money they contribute to social security.

That's nothing you can find most of the illegals working in construction nationwide. Hispanic illegals have been in the construction business for over 20 years, and yet americans that had a job in construction was replaced with illegals. Most of the formans in the construction business are hispanic and have been hireing only hsipanic and mostly hispanic illegals.Hispanic formans were turing away whites, blacks, asians from working in the construction business for the past 10 years.

Sounds like everyone is complicating the issue. First, select a represenative population from the list and ascertain if they are, or are not, illegal immigrants. If they are, deport them and continue down the list. If they are not illegal, pursue the originators of the list and prosecute. If it's that important to an individual to live in our country, there are ways and means to do so legally and with assistance. If they choose to ignore our laws now, what does the future bring? I, for one, am honored to be an American. I believe those who also hold dear our beliefs and rights will do the right thing and not perform criminal acts.

The "list" is no different that the State listing all the felons and their addresses, dates of birth, employer info, birthplace etc, each State does it to some extent or the numerous private companies that list the same information on the web for enyone who ever got a traffic ticket or worse and they do not exclude offenses that you where aquitted of or were dismissed. If you are here illegally then why does it seem wrong to list your info when we list eveybody's elses info.

Well heck yeah, since the Government won't do their job and uphold the laws they swore to uphold, this is what happens ! I don't condone anyone tapping into what seems to be very classified information about people though. The depth of the information offered by this group seems to point toward a Government site of some sort.I have a feeling some heads may roll over this. I think we all just wish the Government would do their sworn duties, then this kind of stuff would not take place.
