Helen Agbapuruonwu “fraudulently obtained public assistance in excess of $100,000 under false pretenses” police allege, and she has been charged “with felony welfare fraud and document forgery,” according to a police report.

Fidelis Agbapuruonwu, who immigrated to the U.S. from Nigeria in the 1990s, worked as an associate at Mayer Brown in D.C., according to his LinkedIn profile. A spokesman for Mayer Brown told NBC 4 that Agbapuruonwu no longer works there. Agbapuruonwu received a Paul & Daisy Soros Scholarship for New Americans, which he used to pay for law school at Ohio State University.

Court officials believe that Agbapuruonwu may have “fled the country and is somewhere in Africa,” NBC News reports.

When it became racist to pursue fraud due to the ethnicity of certain individuals, a whole fraud industry began to build up. Then, there are the subsidies to pretty up the racial group statistics, which are themselves subject to fraud. Entire classes of people have been ruined for ever becoming productive taxpaying citizens.

THIS. The dirty little secret is that minorities are rubber stamped in for approval. If they means test the program too rigidly, Al Sharpton will be standing in front of the bldg. protesting and they KNOW that.

Now if you are a little old white lady, then you will get means tested out the wazoo as, being privileged, you MUST have a secret bank account somewhere and your eligibility is denied or cut.

I saw this both working for subsidized housing as a clerk AND personally experienced this.

ONCE THEY FIGURE IT PUT, THEY PASS IT ON TO OTHERS AS SOON AS THEY COME HERE.

MY WIFE WAS FROM TAIWAN. AFTER WE GOT MARRIED SHE OBTAINED US CITIZENSHIP.

AS SOON AS SHE DID WE GOT TONS OF CALLS AND MAILS ABOUT HOW TO OBTAIN ‘BENEFITS’ AND GET MONEY TO START BUSINESSES!

I WAS SHOCKED

The funniest part?

We all have been warned for years about Nigeria & their scams.

Here are 2 Nigerians who scammed the Mayor of DC.

Guess those warnings are only for the little people like us.

Why are all gas stations, at least in my area, run and leased by foreigners?

When we talk of immigration and talk of jobs Americans aren’t doing, it seems to me that among jobs Americans aren’t doing are running these convenience stores and gas stations.

The Small Business Administration has been set up to hand out tons of low-interest or no-interest loans to minorities to help them start up businesses. White males need not apply.

THIS TEXAS MUSLIM IS NOT A “RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST” BY ANY MEANS-—just a peace-loving Muslim....cashing-in bigtime. Incidentally, this tale is very common in the peace-loving Muslim community...this one got caught b/c he murdered two Christians.

THE COMPLETE STORY OF A PEACE-LOVING TEXAS MUSLIM Peace-loving Texas Muslim-—on Disability and Food Stamps, had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on Texas property

SOURCE Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22

This sort of thing is surprisingly common among peaceful Muslims -very few seem to have jobs but they drive around in luxury cars and are well-dressed and fed. The only reason this case came to light is because the Texas Muslim refugee committed two murders in Texas, one of which he actually got away with.

=============================================================

Radical Islam?

All Muslims buy into Jihad.

Some cut off heads and kill infidels.

Some buy into civil Jihad. They steal as much as they can while they do everything they can to overthrow the US Gov't and the Constitution so that they can implement Sharia Law. The end game is that EVERYONE is under Sharia Law, then the authorities will cut off your head if you are not a practicing Muslim. ALL Muslims are subversives working to overthrow our government.

ALL Muslims must go.

re: They learn BEFORE coming here ...

You are right. In these 3rd world countries corruption and graft are how things are done. Immigrants come here, and our country makes it easy to take advantage of the system.

I can’t wait for this whole system to collapse and leaches like these will be forced to reap what they have sown.
