A San Antonio woman who works for the Texas Department of Public Safety was sentenced this week to 35 months in federal prison for issuing driver’s licenses to about 150 illegal immigrants.

Linda Ann Perez, 47, sold the licenses to illegal immigrants for between $1,000 and $2,000 each while working as a clerk at a state office on South Gen. McMullen Drive in San Antonio, a scam that netted an estimated $215,000, according to court documents cited by the San Antonio Express-News.

Department of Public Safety officials realized something funny was going on last spring and alerted Homeland Security Investigations and Texas Rangers.

“According to prosecutors and court records, the bribes were generally delivered to her office counter in brown paper bags carrying food,” according to the news site.

“Homeland Security officials have expressed concern about Perez’s actions, saying the people who received the licenses were not vetted, and the officials surmised some could possibly ‘do our country harm.’ Officials said a handful of the immigrants were tracked down, but others couldn’t be because they might not have provided their real names.”

Perez, who worked for DPS for eight years, pleaded guilty in November, and Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia sentenced her to 35 months in federal prison and ordered her to pay $215,000. The woman’s attorney, Louis Vera Jr., told the Express-News he’s working to enroll his client in a drug treatment program in prison to cut time off her sentence.

Several folks who commented about Perez’s predicament online were clearly not impressed by the scam.

“’Shave time off her sentence’? Bullshit!” rrosales wrote. “She endangered people’s lives by giving licenses to illegals!”

Scott Jones observed:

“So she spent years working eight hours a day at the DMV, the second (crappiest) place on earth, now she is sentenced to prison, the first (cappiest) place on earth! She’s a bright one!”
