The Broncos’ Voice December 5,1997 COMMUNITY & NATIONAL NEWS MLK Park Approved Courtesy of Laura Kinsler of the Fayetteville Observer- Times. ment and some elements of lo cal black history. Fake Document Business Fayetteville—Just three months after renaming the CBD Loop to MLK Freeway, the City Council voted on Monday to locate an MLK Memorial Park on Bragg Bou levard. This location was not a unanimous choice. The N.C. Department of Transportation had offered an alternative site just off the freeway’s Robeson Street exit, but city staff estimated it would cost between $450,000 to $800,000 to develop it. In stead, the City Council settled on a 17-acre city-owned tract between Bragg Boulevard and Murchison Road. A portion of the park would be visible from the MLK Freeway. Assistant City Manager, Ben Brown said that by using city-owned property, we will save approximately $200,000. Fayetteville parks director Robert Barefoot said that the park might have a walking trail with an audio history of the national civil rights move Courtesy of the Fayetteville Observer- Times Greensboro—The growing number of illegal aliens in N.C. is creating a market for fake green cards. Social Security cards, birth certificates and drivers’ licenses. The INS office in Charlotte, which covers North Carolina and South Carolina, has grown from four to 10 agents in re cent years. But authorities say that is not nearly enough to fight a business that gets as much as $2000 for a phony document such as green cards. Social Security cards, birth cer tificates and drivers’ licenses. North Carolina attracts ille gal immigrants because it is an agricultural state with plenty of jobs, but there are other rea sons. Students from other countries use temporary visas to attend the many colleges here, and some of them never return home. Also, North Carolina is one of 13 states with open records. This means that birth records are available for anyone to see. It is easy to gather informa tion—such as family names— in order to get a certified copy of someone else’s birth certifi cate, said John Davis, an in vestigative liaison with the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Office, which handles passport and visa fraud. Some vendors are traveling salespeople who work their way through small towns in rural areas. Because they are constantly moving, it is hard for authorities to catch them.
