Police Shut Down Immigration Scam Used to Keep Illegals in Country

Victims’ seek special protection from deportation

Under Joe Biden’s policies, illegal aliens have been flooding across America’s southern border – literally by the millions.

It’s to the point that Texas is charging he’s failing to do his constitutional duty to protect the states, and lawmakers there have adopted a law allowing state authorities to arrest individuals who enter the state illegally.

But now the federal government has broken up an immigration scam that focuses on allowing illegals to remain in America.

It’s by having them become “victims” of a crime, so they can apply with Homeland Security for a victim visa that shields them from deportation and lets them work in America.

The Washington Times documented the details.

“The fraudsters charged $10,000 per robbery and gave the store owners a heads-up and a cut of the money to use their businesses in the scam,” the report explained. “The supposed victims would then report the crimes to the police and file paperwork to be deemed part of the investigation. They would use that paperwork to file applications with Homeland Security…”

Emilio Gonzalez, formerly the chief of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, told the Times, “This is a new level of immigration fraud.”

The report said so far eight robberies have been linked to the scheme and another 11 are being investigated. Confirmed scam components include a sandwich shop in Kentucky, a smoke shop in Pennsylvania and three liquor stores in Massachusetts, the report said.

Don’t forget the first fraud - claiming asylum when their just looking for handouts our a better job opportunity.

The NGOs that coach the illegals to say “asylum”, no matter what language they speak, should be prosecuted as conspiring to commit fraud.

Fine the NGOs and get some of the handout money back.

Exactly.

Are those resorting to the claim —- I’m a victim of a crime —— invaders who did not turn themselves in at a border crossing to claim asylum, but came through at other places, perhaps where Biden tore down walls or left openings?

I think the people who come through at a border crossing, claiming asylum, are put on planes or buses, and sent throughout the country with papers, telling them to show up at some indeterminate date in the future for a hearing.

Ten million yet under Biden?
