Clinton Security Guard An Illegal Immigrant From Pakistan

Whoops…

NEWARK, N.J., March 27 (UPI) — An embarrassing hole in security surrounding former U.S. President Bill Clinton turned up when one of his chauffeurs was found to be a wanted man.
Shahzad Qureshi, 42, was in one of three cars awaiting Clinton at Newark Airport last week when a Port Authority policeman happened to check license plate numbers.
The computer came back showing the Pakistani national had skipped a residency-status hearing in 2000, and a deportation order had been issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the New York Post reported.
Qureshi was still in jail Monday awaiting immigration processing, the report said.

I assume that Qureshi must have been working for a private security outfit rather than the Secret Service. I can’t imagine that the Secret Service is so lax on its background checks that an illegal is able to slip in and if Quershi was a federal agent he would have been driving a federal vehicle, thus his plates wouldn’t have come back to him.
Odd story though which really high lights just how pervasive this illegal immigration problem is.
