Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), a member of the Gang of Eight that helped write and pass the immigration reform bill in that chamber, said he did not know how many passports a person could forge under the proposed law before being charged with a crime.
On Capitol Hill on Wednesday, CNSNews.com asked McCain, Senator McCain, can I ask you a question about the Senate immigration bill? Under the bill, how many passports can someone forge before it becomes a crime?
McCain said, Youre going to have to ask our folks that, I don't think that we stand for any forgeries."
In the legislation that passed in the Senate, Section 1541 "Trafficking in Passports," it explains in detail that a person can be charged for a crime if they forge "3 or more passports," meaning that they potentially would not be charged if they falsely made only one or two passports. The criminal charges and penalties do not kick in until after "3 or more passports" are falsely made, issued, or transferred, etcetera.

Do we have a technical question regarding US Passports ?
Perhaps John Brennan can assist. Yes, that John Brennan. The former CEO employee and fellow that was CEO of the security firm Analysis Corporation, which conveniently held a US State Department passport office contract.
Yes, the same John Brennan who was a National Security Advisor to the Champ at the time of the Benghazi incident, and was subsequently appointed as Director, CIA.
Never thought you were, buddy, never thought you were...
LAHORE: Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has said that the constitution provides complete immunity to the prime minister and therefore he is not accountable to any law enforcement agency for what he did as the chief executive of the country.
Gilani said he had performed his duties as the prime minister in good faith and had taken all decisions on summaries submitted by the ministries and divisions through the Establishment Division. According to press release issued from the Bilawal House on Thursday, the former premier asserted that only parliament could do or undo the immunity because it was the mother of all institutions in a parliamentary system of democracy. He reiterated his stance that he was not answerable to law enforcement agencies for the decisions he took as the prime minister because of the immunity provided in the constitution.
He said that he took the stance in the court regarding the availability of immunity to the president of Pakistan but his plea was not accepted and he was disqualified. The former premier said that the letter which his successor Raja Pervez Ashraf wrote to the Swiss authorities as prime minister noted that the president enjoyed complete immunity inside as well as outside the country.
Gilani said that people were wondering as to why only the cases relating to President Asif Ali Zardari, himself and his family were being pursued, while the implementation of the Asghar Khan case had been put on the back burner.
He claimed that the PPP suffered defeat in the elections due to pre-poll rigging. Gilani said his disqualification, cases against the president and many other things were the visible examples of such rigging.
