A NEW ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION SCHEME

CAL THOMAS COMMENTATOR JANUARY 9, 2024

     WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE THE IMMIGRATION LAWS ARE NOT BEING FOLLOWED? HERE’S ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

     THE WASHINGTON TIMES REPORTS FEDERAL AUTHORITIES HAVE BROKEN A FRAUD RING THAT WAS STAGING ARMED ROBBERIES AT CONVENIENCE STORES. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH IMMIGRATION? PLENTY. THE SUPPOSED VICTIMS WERE ILLEGAL ALIENS AND COULD FILE APPLICATIONS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY ON WHAT ARE CALLED “VICTIM VISAS.”

     THE FRAUDSTERS CHARGED $10 THOUSAND PER ROBBERY AND GAVE THE STORE OWNERS ADVANCE WARNING AND A CUT OF THE MONEY. SOUNDS LIKE WHAT THEY DO FOR THE STORE THAT SELLS WINNING LOTTERY TICKETS, DOESN’T IT?.

     THE SUPPOSED VICTIMS WOULD THEN FILE PAPERWORK WITH THE POLICE AND USE THAT PAPERWORK TO FILE APPLICATIONS WITH HOMELAND SECURITY. THE U-VISA SHIELDS AGAINST DEPORTATION AND EARNS THE RIGHT TO WORK LEGALLY IN THE U.S.

    CLEVER, ISN’T IT? THE CRIMINAL MIND ALWAYS FINDS NEW WAYS TO SUBVERT OR GET AROUND THE LAW. THE FBI IS INVOLVED, BUT IF THEY ARREST THE PERPETARTORS, OTHERS WILL POP-UP WITH NEW SCHEMES. BETTER TO FINISH THE WALL AND DEPORT WHO HAVE BROKEN THE LAW TO GET HERE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
