Usually it's fraudulent documents, lying on official documents or sneaking across the border. But now illegal immigrant smugglers using fake border patrol vehicles.

I'm surprised smugglers haven't tried this earlier. I hear stories of fake police/cars more often but this is the first I heard of this. I guess impersonating a federal officer gets tacked on to the charges.

I heard on the news, Some of, I believe it was, ISIS may have gotten their hands on machines to duplicate passport documentation. I'll see if I can find the story.

Yup, they said they taken over so much territory including towns with government offices that's probably how they got it. I just can't believe they are organized enough to get the machine or any loot to a centralized location or person. Well established armies do that sending stuff and information to their intelligence divisions.

With the border patrol car vehicle my guess is they carefully photographed one, got a similar model and painted it accordingly. My guess is that were was too much "off" or not right on this.
