Special Visas for Illegal Aliens Who Become Crime Victims By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Senior Editor September 06, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - People who come into the United States illegally and then become victims of crime may get special protection from the U.S. government.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Wednesday announced an interim final rule that grants "temporary immigration benefits" to crime victims who assist government officials in investigating or prosecuting the criminal activity.

The goal is to bring crime victims out of the shadows where they tend to hide if they fear deportation.

The new rule offers protection and temporary benefits to victims who are illegal aliens -- and it also bolsters the capabilities of police to investigate and prosecute criminal activity, USCIS said.

The public will have 60 days to comment on the rule, which is about to be published in the Federal Register.

"Many immigrant crime victims fear coming forward to assist law enforcement because they may not have legal status," said USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez.

OUR government is supposed to be looking after OUR interests. But it isn’t. The interests of everyone else in the world come first, as far as OUR government is concerned. We are just the suckers who pay the bills.

Thay pretty well sums it up. They don't care that we are being subjected to infectious diseases, defrauded by theft of our SS#'s, having violent crimes put upon us, our schools ruined, our culture destroyed, and our health systems overburdened.

We are only wallets for illegal invaders to pilfer from. The behavior of our government asks nothing of Mexico. It is traitorous.

Ah, yes. The ‘victim’ will be given legal status and since they’re ‘traumatized’ from the crime, don’t speak English, they are on an automatic path to SSI.

BUILD THE FENCE!! NO more victims!

This is absurd. Any excuse to provide perks for illegal aliens. Soon there will be so many different categories of illegal aliens grants these perks as to include almost all of them.

If illegal aliens become victims, then send them back home. Lots of Americans become crime victims, many of them at the hands of illegal aliens.

What an inducement to have them fake being a victim. It’s so easy to do.

GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Where do the idiots come from who dream up this stuff?

Doesn't matter to me if it's an activist with influence, a government-subsidized subversive group, the official enforcers who would even entertain the idea should be fired. Yesterday.

Any way to find out who that might be?

Here are the relevant documents and the web sites. Have at it.

News Release

Please note that the press release does not mention the word "illegal' once.
The clear implication is that we are dealing with legal immigrants.

Apparently the actual page for comments either has not been posted yet at the USCIS, or they are making it as difficult to find as possible.
Is anyone surprised?

Stay tuned.

From the "News Release" copy of the interim rule,

The purpose of the U nonimmigrant classification is to strengthen the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute such crimes as domestic violence, sexual assault, and traficking in persons, while offering protection to alien crime victims in keeping with humanitarian interests of the United States.

Not only are they exploiting the ignorance of the American citizen, and his apathy, but they are implicitly suggesting that illegal aliens deserve special consideration beyond the free services they already get; they are setting up a whole "personal police and investigative force" for just the illegals.
Also implicit is that "humanitarianism is important for illegals, but ignored for us who pay their salaries, the American legal taxpayer.

Every day it's a new trick.

Yesterday it was the judge in the 9th circus telling Homeland Security they coulnd't send a letter to employers warning them they will suffer fines and maybe jail for hiring illegals.

What will tomorrow bring and how long can we hold back the flood casued by weeping sympathizers?

Correct-o-mundo.
There is neither the requirement that the perpetrator be found or that he is even real.In addition, there is no penalty whatsoever for falsifying a crime to claim special status.

Government run by morons.

What the heck! I am not sure I am reading this right. How can they do it? Anyone can claim to be a crime victim.

Special Visas for Illegal Aliens Who Become Crime Victims

De facto Amnesty for ILLEGALS just because they weren't as
sharp at the other ILLEGALS that preyed on them?

I DON'T THINK SO!

Thanks for the ping, JA. Wonder if Chertoff got wind of this newest hyphenate pander?

"You say illegal aliens are attempting to murder ICE agents, are setting fire to
forests and fields along the border to distract US Border Patrol Agents to make
their crossing easier, and throwing Molotov cocktails at US agents’ vehicles, and
setting fire to their observation posts? "

"I'm the Homeland Security Chief. What do you want me to do about it? "

They’re looking to amnesty them one at a time now.
