ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A former supervisor at the Department of Homeland Security pleaded guilty Thursday to accepting at least $600,000 in bribes to provide fraudulent citizenship documents to hundreds of Asian immigrants.
Robert T. Schofield, 57, who once supervised as many as 50 employees in the Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Fairfax, Va., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to bribery and to aiding and abetting the illegal procurement of citizenship.
He faces as many as 25 years in prison when he is sentenced in February. Prosecutors said they will seek the maximum sentence.
"We have to go out and arrest these people" who fraudulently obtained immigration and citizenship documents, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Ron Walutes. "It's a huge disruption."

If one man stole one half million dollars I wonder how many others stole that much/more. This hole Administration has been stealing yet Americans set back and say what ever the President says is ok. January will show that Americans will have to cover the stolen money and it will be costly.
I have a felling more will be exposed come January from Waxman...
