Illegal immigrants commit robberies at their illegal workplaces in order to obtain work permits, life-changing green cards, and U.S. citizenship.
The latest example came to light in Massachusetts, where prosecutors arrested two Indian-born men who were hired to stage fake robberies of undocumented Indian workers at about 19 workplaces. The purpose was to help the alleged victims obtain U visas and work permits from a federal program for crime victims.
“This is a common practice among primarily Indian nationals to qualify for U visas,” said Jay, co-founder of the Forced Labor Project and former immigration adviser in President Donald Trump's administration. Palmer says.
Palmer works with many Indian immigrants and told Breitbart News:
They will hire someone to testify and rob you at gunpoint, or even physically assault you. Witnesses may also be family members. That would encourage family members who normally commit illegal acts to sue as well. [for a visa] When complaining of mental distress or applying for a T visa [people who are] To help the police solve crimes.
Many people are willing to be hurt and physically harmed to get a hospital report. Often they go to the emergency room and there is an Indian doctor there who is connected to them. In some cases, doctors may be forced to exaggerate or exaggerate injuries.
You can obtain biometric authentication by applying. [identity documents] And employment permit… [for] Up to 5 years. They are buying time until they can legally work in the United States, while also offering some type of mass amnesty (this is straight from Indians) and letting undocumented and undocumented immigrants into the country. I hope and pray for some kind of immigration reform.their overstay [temporary visa] Welcome to…your path to citizenship.
Palmer said even applying for a U visa can help illegal aliens avoid deportation. “It’s like parole. [status] And if I can stop it [while driving] He was then interrogated and obtained a case number. [when the cop] When you enter the case number into the database, it will say “Case Pending.” ”
Many illegal aliens also make up stories to explain why they are in the country, Palmer said.
A typical story is as follows. “My passport was stolen when I came here. I was scared to report the robbery because I was scared that I would be deported right away and I didn't have all the information. So I… I stayed here, got involved in human trafficking, worked at so-and-so's hotel, worked at a convenience store, got robbed at the convenience store. I've been victimized twice, so I'm looking for a visa.”
Immigration fraud is commonplace Because the potential payoff is huge. illegal alientheir employers, and participating lawyers, but also because authorities and local police have little incentive to fight the problem.
For example, a successful scam could allow ambitious young men and women to jump from their poor, backward home countries to a more affluent life in the United States. This fraud allows them to obtain citizenship for all their future descendants, granting citizenship to many other people in their home country, and also allowing them to skyrocket their social status in their home region.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is run by pro-immigration fanatic Alejandro Mayorkas. He has appointed like-minded advocates across government agencies who, since 2021, have been using the U visa program to provide well-paying work to undocumented immigrants who say they are victims of crime. Giving permission secretly. As of September 30, more than 340,000 immigrants had applied for U visas, even though only 10,000 U visas are distributed each year.
Mayorkas pushed similar pro-fraud policies when he was a senior official in President Barack Obama's Department of Homeland Security.
January 2022, Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report DHS's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office says it has shown little interest in combating the fraud.
First, USCIS did not fully address fraud risks in the U visa program. We identified 10 USCIS-approved petitions that contained false, unauthorized, altered, or questionable law enforcement certifications. USCIS also did not track the consequences of fraudulent referrals for the U visa program. As a result, individuals may be deterred from reporting suspected fraud and USCIS may miss opportunities to address fraud risks within the program.
The latest example came to light on Dec. 29, when the Justice Department carried out eight robberies to help alleged workplace victims obtain work permits and green cards from the Mayorkas Department of Homeland Security. announced that it had paid two “New York guys” to do so.
According to charging documents, starting in March 2023, [Rambhai] Patel [born 1987] and his co-conspirators, sometimes [Balwinder] Shin [born 1984], staged and carried out staged armed robberies of at least eight convenience stores/liquor stores and fast food restaurants across the United States, including at least four in Massachusetts. It is alleged that the purpose of the orchestrated robbery was to enable the clerk who was present to claim to be the victim of a violent crime in his application for United Nations non-immigrant status (U visa). The AU visa is available to victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and who have contributed to law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.
During the planned robbery, the “robbers” were captured on store surveillance video threatening store employees and store owners with firearms, stealing cash from the register and fleeing. The store clerk and owner then waited more than five minutes for the “robber” to flee before calling police to report the “crime.” Each of the “victims” is said to have made Patel pay a fee for their participation in the scheme. Meanwhile, Patel allegedly paid the store owners for the use of their store for the planned robbery.
The complaint states: “Investigators have learned that this scheme is not unique. At least two other jurisdictions have seen individuals commit armed robberies with the consent of the alleged victims in the past few years. , allowing the “victim” to later apply for a U visa. ”

The complaint states:
In early 2023, PATEL hired CW-1 to perform construction on PATEL's home in New York, which CW-1 performed. Shortly thereafter, PATEL told CW-1 he had a job that would pay him $1,500. PATEL explained to CW-1 that he intended to enter the store to rob the store and that the people inside the store would be aware that they were about to be robbed. Additionally, PATEL advised CW-1 that some of the victims did not work at the store and had traveled from out of state to participate in the orchestrated robbery. CW-1 explained that those posing as victims did so to “obtain documents” to stay in the country. PATEL told CW-1 that the victims did not call the police when CW-1 robbed them, but CW-1 later reported on the news that the victims actually called police after the robbery. I saw you doing it. At least initially, CW-1 never expected the police to be called.
CW-1 stated that each victim paid PATEL $10,000 to participate in the planned robbery in order to receive “paperwork.” PATEL knew the store owners, who had allowed each store to be used for planned robberies. CW-1 understood that the store owners were well aware of the robbery. PATEL paid each owner $2,000 out of her $1,500 to use the store in the robbery.
According to CW-1, during most of the robbery, CW-1 was communicating with PATEL via a Bluetooth headset. During a planned robbery, PATEL will contact the owner or employee of the target store and he will notify PATEL when the store is vacated. PATEL will then instruct CW-1 to go inside and “perform” the robbery.
…
Additionally, investigators believe PATEL had direct access to store insiders and the store's video surveillance system to coordinate the timing of the robbery.
federal employee being watched Text messages between the alleged robber and business owner in October 2023:
[Cooperating Witness] CW-1 to Patel: “Let me know when you go.”
Mr. Patel to CW-I: “Okay.”
CW-1 to Patel: “There is no one among them”
CW-1 to Patel: “Please confirm.”
Patel to CW-1: “There's an old woman and a man inside.”
CW-1 to Patel: “They'll be leaving soon, please let me know.”
Patel to CW-1: “Welcome home.”
Patel to CW-1: “Okay.”
Patel to CW-1: “Both of you will be leaving immediately.”
of criminal charges Provided a list of confirmed robbers:
However, the complaint also states that “there are approximately 11 other robberies listed and under investigation that may be related to the subjects and the scheme outlined herein.” There is. ”
If convicted of fraud, the two current defendants could face up to five years in prison and fines of up to $250,000.
The number of fraud cases is also increasing as Mr. Biden recognizes that many illegal immigrants with temporary status have incentives and U.S. wages to organize citizenship fraud. For example, Mr. Mayorkas Admitted From 2021, there will be approximately 200,000 Indian immigrants and 100,000 Chinese immigrants. There is no official evidence that any significant number of these migrants returned home.
Biden also acknowledged that many legal immigrants import illegal immigrants and work in businesses for low wages. for example.this is illegal employment This is often the case with imported foreign business owners. low cost E-2 visa for managing a franchise hotel; restaurantgas station, corner store.
As a result, illegal Indian immigration is rapidly increasing across the United States. The population is expected to soon reach one million, as Indian smugglers funnel more migrants along the semi-legal “donkey route” to the United States, Europe and Australia. The influx of population is so large that Bollywood is producing films about this movement.
Palmer said this migration is creating a growing number of foreign-run business islands in the United States. He said the island is growing because foreign companies collaborate with each other, often ignoring the law, and sharing cheap foreign employees under foreign workplace practices such as tax avoidance and reliance on foreign banking systems. He said he is doing so.
Palmer said U visa fraud occurs within these Indian economic islands. “A lot of these people are convenience store owners, hospitality industry and hotel owners who are coming here. [temporary] F-1 [student] Visa or B-1 [visitor visas] and overstayed their welcome,” he said. “It's widespread.”
The indictment states that an attorney for the alleged victims in seven of the eight robberies has filed green card applications, and that “a records review shows that PATEL PHONE is associated with that attorney.'' We were in contact with the phone number provided.”
Many foreign immigrants are used to operate foreign companies or are imported. criminal enterprisemarijuana farms, etc. phone scam.
These expanding islands of foreign economies are overcoming law-abiding U.S. businesses from their neighbors, who are at a disadvantage due to compliance with tax laws and federal safety, health and employment regulations, he said.
Economic islands are also expelling American workers and American managers, in part because foreign companies cannot withstand whistleblowing by Americans.
The influx of government-sponsored immigrants is highly unpopular among ordinary Americans, with half of the population viewing it as an “invasion” that burdens and threatens Americans and their communities.
