Bedolla-Medina Jaime Camaal-Balam Two Illegal Mexican Crooks busted For Fake Tri-met passes

Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Portland police arrested two men illegal alien mexican criminal wetbacks accused of making fake TriMet tickets that have been presented on buses throughout the metro area.

Detective Mary Wheat said Wednesday the arrests of 29-year-old Gabriel Bedolla-Medina and 27-year-old Jaime Camaal-Balam followed a two-month investigation. She says the dollar loss to TriMet from lost fares is estimated at more than $100,000.

Police say the forged tickets are difficult to distinguish from valid ones, and TriMet riders should be careful when buying tickets from unauthorized sellers. Anyone using a forged ticket can be arrested for theft.

Both men are charged with multiple counts of forgery. More arrests are expected.

Your typical illegal aliens at work. But then, Portland continues to let them in like a bad flood. Don’t forget to polish those street signs Sam, here’s a good example why people are against mexican street names.

You know, I don’t generally jump on the old they are illegals band wagon, but tonight I am. I am sick to death of these flippin mexicans coming up here illegally and taking advantage of everybody, stealing from people, killing people, driving drunk or drugged or what have you. ( yeah yeah I know white people do all that too). I wish to hell they would go back to Mexico and stay there!!!!!!! I don’t want them here!!!!!!

Neither is right, but being illegal aliens only adds to the problems we have already – and we pay enough in criminal attorney tax dollars and jail tax dollars for these dead beats already.

They were probably createing pretty good copies of US currency that was greasing the palms of the Portland City Council. I am sure they pay more attention to Mr. Green that they do the voters.

Both have US Immigration holds. KATU misspelled one of their names, it’s actually Caamal-Balm.

Just think ICE holds for both!!!!

When are the legal citizens of this country going to wake up and throw this trash out of the US.

I have written many times that ILLEGALS are the largest single criminal organisation n this country…well except for the jerks at city hall that cater to an illegal and a resident of tigard by renaming 39th.

Criminals seem to have hispanic sur names more than not.

Wake up folks time to really put the pressure on the elected officials i.e. city, county, state and federal.

There is not a single good illegal in this country.

Join any anti-illegal immigration group, pay dues, volunteer – we must.

It is sad to say, but we will simply become more like the countries they are running from. They are – without a doubt, trained in another culture and that culture just happens to be filled with crime.

There’s only one way – DOWN – if we continue to let them in by the
