In the recording, Muckraker tells the employee, “I’m a green card holder from Canada.” The worker responds, “No, no, no, no, we accept anything that comes over the counter.”
The employee further states, “Once in a while… we have people come in here… and they register, they weren’t a citizen… Boom, boom, boom.”
When asked whether such situations are reported, the worker says, “No, no I’m not. No we don’t report anyone… That’s not my job to report anyone. My job is just to collect the application and put it and submit it to the Department.”
