Explain, Please

The AP reports:

The state Senate has voted unanimously make it a crime for illegal immigrants to use falsified federal identification to gain employment.

Without debate, the Senate unanimously passed the bill and another that would make it a misdemeanor for anyone who manufactures the falsified documents.

Now I fully support this effort, but I do have one question… Is it not already a crime for illegals (or anyone else, for that matter) to use falsified federal identification to get a job?

    Well just off the top of my head…. Perhaps it is indeed a ‘federal’ offense…. only now it is a ’state’ offense?
