Busted: Illegal Alien Voted, Took Thousands in Benefits for Years
Share this @internewscast.com

Talk about hiding in plain sight.

On Thursday, Lina Maria Orovio-Hernandez, a Colombian woman who has lived in the United States without legal status for over twenty years, was charged with multiple offenses. These include identity theft and fraud, as well as illegally participating in at least the last presidential election. I thought the left claimed such things never occurred?

Lina Maria Orovio-Hernandez, aged 59 and living in Boston, has spent over two decades in the U.S. using a stolen identity, reportedly obtaining approximately $400,000 in rental assistance, Social Security, and food stamp benefits, as announced by the Department of Justice (DOJ). Prosecutors allege she not only voted in the 2024 presidential election but has been a registered voter since January 2023.

“For over 20 years, this defendant is accused of having constructed her entire life on a stolen identity foundation — including illegally voting in our presidential election and collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in government aid meant for Americans in need,” stated U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley in an official statement.

You’ve all heard it; the claim from the left that illegal immigrants add to our communities, through whatever tissue-thin means the left can conjure up. They pay sales taxes, they pay other taxes; as though that’s enough reason to tolerate them being in the country illegally, even if true? But Lina Maria Orovio-Hernandez has shown us how badly the system can be abused:

Orovio-Hernandez allegedly used her stolen identity to obtain a Massachusetts Real ID, eight other state IDs and apply for a U.S. passport, according to prosecutors. She is accused of unlawfully collecting $259,589 in Section 8 rental assistance benefits between October 2011 and January 2025, $101,257 in Social Security disability benefits between July 2014 and January 2025 and $43,348 in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits between April 2005 and January 2025.

Altogether, the Colombia national is charged with one count of fraudulent voter registration, one count of fraudulent voting, one count of false representation of a Social Security number, one count of aggravated identity theft, one count of making a false statement in an application for a U.S. passport and three counts of receiving stolen government money or property, according to the DOJ.

And she voted. She voted.
