Two men face charges after allegedly using fake TWIC ID cards to work at the Port of Fourchon, LA.
The men, Ernesto Cordova, 25, and Roosevelt Amores, 32, were reportedly charged with illegal entry into critical infrastructure, in addition to invalid driver’s license charges after a security employee noticed several misspelled words on the fake TWIC cards.
“It was a pretty good duplication,” Callais told the Houma Courier. “Only with the trained eye would you see there were some differences between that and a regular TWIC.”
The men also are under suspicion for being the in U.S. illegally, the Courier newspaper also reported.

I go to this port quite regularly which is only about 3 hrs from my home.

I figured this was going to happen once they started enforcing it.

Getting the TWIC was a joke anyway.

All it means is more government red tape and revenue.

They are asking for it right now but will let you in even if you don't have it yet.

Next month or in April they will be enforcing it.
