According to Florida and Georgia law enforcement sources, John Couey, the confessed killer of 9-year old Jessica Lunsford in Homosassa, Florida was a patron of an immigrant smuggling business in Valdosta, Georgia that illegally imported migrant workers and children into the town and its environs.
The smuggling business has been tied to Coggins Farm Supply of Lake Park, a town eight miles from Valdosta. The firm's owner, Kevin Coggins, is a major player in the Georgia Republican Party and a major funder of Senator Saxby Chambliss and George W. Bush.
There are also connections between the people smugglers and Pacific Tomato Growers of Palmetto, Florida and California. Pacific Growers has been a champion of Jeb Bush's questionable migrant farmer's program as well as George W. Bush's Federal AgJobs Bill, which fail to crack down on growers who use illegal aliens. (Letters to the Editor, St. Petersburg Times, March 31, 2004).
Some of the illegal immigrants, apprehended by "coyotes" (agents) in Mexico, Guatemala, China, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, work on Coggins farms. Others, especially young girls and boys, are pimped to customers by local businessmen in Valdosta, including the owner of a local strip club. Couey was a patron of the strip club and paid $300 for sex with young Mexican girls. Valdosta has become a virtual haven for sex offenders, according to law enforcement sources.
Law enforcement sources also report a connection between the smuggling ring and the Russian-Israeli Mafia.
One State of Florida investigation into the ring, as well as two Federal investigations and a Grand Jury probe, were shut down on orders from the Bush White House.
The immigrant smugglers use "nickelmen" to illegally provide workers with phony Social Security Numbers. One such nickelman provided a false SSN to Chinese spy Henry Ni, who was arrested in Orlando for trying to ship missile parts to China. Ni was also a computer programmer for Yang Enterprises, an Oviedo, Florida-based firm that was investigated for overcharging the Florida Department of Transportation and NASA.
Yang's general counsel and registered lobbyist was Tom Feeney, Jeb Bush's running mate in 1994, ex-Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives who heped deliver Florida to Bush in 2000, and current U.S. Congressman who sits on the House Judiciary Committee.
Florida investigator Raymond Lemme was investigating the illegal alien importation, contract fraud, and other corruption when he was found dead from a suspicious suicide in a Valdosta Knight's Inn motel in July 2003.
