America’s new arrivals now stage ‘bogus robberies’ to cheat the system
The American Thinkier ^ | 2 January 2024 | Olivia Murray

The fact that the hordes of new arrivals know all the loopholes and legal angles to scam our immigration laws and maximize benefits on our welfare system, while the working American does not, is really quite astounding, and tells me that there have to be a number of lawyers involved, telling these people what they can do to cheat American citizens out of a country. Check out this story, reported by the New York Post yesterday:

Two New York City men staged armed robberies at convenience stores and fast food joints across the United States to scheme immigration benefits, federal prosecutors said Friday.

Rambhai Patel, 36, and Balwinder Singh, 39, were arrested on Dec. 13 and both charged with one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud for their alleged plot, which allowed the ‘victims’ of their robberies to apply for special immigration visas, Massachusetts prosecutors said.

According to prosecutors, the pseudo robbery plots “involved a ‘robber’ threatening a store clerk with an apparent firearm before snatching cash from the register in front of a store’s surveillance camera.” These “victims” would then be eligible to qualify for a special visa (“U visa”), which if approved, provides the alien with:

• temporary immigration status including work authorization;

• temporary immigration status for qualifying family members of the victim; and

• the possibility of lawful permanent resident status.

This is definitely going on. Know a friend who worked for an immigration lawyer in Austin one summer recently and learned that this U-visa exists first hand. Until I can get retired, I can NOT reveal more. The corruption everywhere is beyond people's belief.

I thought the U visa was for victims of crimes that occurred in their country of origin. Didn’t realize the crime that was committed against them here is what qualified.

It’s NOT surprising. And really depressing.

America is gone?

Yes, if they’re the victim of a crime here, they’re eligible for a U-Visa. Not too hard to stage that, btw.

This is organized crime. Congress enables this by ignoring it when they are the ones who can do something about it.
