Seattle (AP) -- A man accused of advising straight immigrants to claim homosexuality — and potential persecution in their home countries — when they applied for asylum has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Steven Mahoney touted himself as an expert in immigration affairs and ran Mahoney and Associates in Kent, which advised immigrants on how to stay in the U.S.

Good...glad to see him off the streets....hopefully he will learn to not do illegal stupid stunts like this.

I think he’ll get introduced into the nuances of the Gay lifestyle in prison ....

[posterchild]

...he filed as many as 99 false immigration documents and was paid between $1,000 and $4,000 for each.

99 other people also committed fraud. What is being done to find them? Do journalists no longer ask questions?

The part of this story that we should be up in arms about, is the preferential treatment to homosexuals by immigration.

[PetroniusMaximus]

So now its...

“Bring us your queer, your lispy, your spandex-clad masses yearning to disco dance...”

[Loyalist]

I wonder how immigration officials are expected to verify an applicant’s homosexuality.

[Uncle Miltie]

This is impossible.

We’re told that sexuality is transitory and changeable.

So, these wonderful immigrants may have been straight in their home countries, gay while immigrating, and (VOILA!) straight again when naturalized!

Straight people are persecuted in this country. Do we qualify for special treatment?

Exactly! Let Europe have them. We have an ample supply of home-grown sodomites without importing any!

Yes. Governor Gargoyle and her Feather Duster Clad, Flying Legislative Monkeys will reward anyone who feels left out with a full body, hot oil massage while an impresario belts out Liza Minelli tunes.

Can't get more special than that!
