A federal grand jury in Seattle has charged two people in an alleged immigration fraud conspiracy, saying they advised straight immigrants to claim homosexuality in applying for political asylum.
Steven Mahoney and his wife, Helena, were arrested today and scheduled to make initial appearances at U.S. District Court in Seattle in the afternoon.
Prosecutors say Steve Mahoney ran Mahoney and Associates in Kent, and held himself out as an expert in immigration affairs. They say the point was to make money by advising immigrants on how to stay in the U.S.
According to an indictment unsealed Tuesday, the Mahoneys in at least three cases advised immigrants to falsely claim that they feared persecution for homosexuality if they returned to their home country.

I guess there isn’t a H1B Visa program for interior decorators.

Stealing someone’s ID is one thing, but you open a whole nuther can of worms when you pretend to be gay for preferential treatment under our nation's policies.

The people that they were advising were probably Korean or othe Asian college grads, looking for employment, instead of Hispanic Illegals who can join the ranks of oppressed workers of the SEIU.

Homosexuality is a protected and separate class?
Homosexuality must be as regulated as smoking is.

The Mahoneys could have made even more money by marrying the gay couples.
