A St Joseph Woman has pleaded guilty for her part of a false identification scheme for illegal aliens.

23 year-old Christina Michelle Gonzales pleaded guilty in federal court Monday.

The charge stems from a January federal indictment. Gonzales has admitted her part in the scheme that provided more than 3,500 fraudulent identity documents to illegal aliens.

Between November 2009 and January 2012 thousands of illegal aliens traveled to St Joseph to obtain a license from the St Joseph License office. Gonzales assisted the illegal aliens who did not live in Missouri by providing them with a Missouri address to obtain the state issued license.

Gonzales could face five years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $250,000. Sentencing has not been scheduled.
