Bronson has an excellent piece about the recent round-up of illegals that enrolled in a fake university. Immigration and Customs Enforcement nabbed some 250 people in this effort. It was a successful enforcement measure. It’s something that should be done more often. If you’re an illegal alien, you have to go. Sorry, that’s the law. That’s federal law. And we have a new sheriff in Donald J. Trump who will enforce those laws. Immigration enforcement authorities will find you and kick you the hell out. Period. No one has the right to come here. We can deny anyone entry. And crime and poverty aren’t reasons for asylum, the other aspect of our immigration policy that needs an overhaul.
Yet, the Democratic Party of today hates ICE, they hate law enforcement, and they love illegal aliens more than American citizens; they don’t even care that criminal aliens are killing Americans. It’s all part of the long game. A few dead Americans and shattered families are worth the millions of new voters they will get through amnesty and a pathway to citizenship. Of course, that end goal is hidden under a faux campaign of compassion and empathy for these people. Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), were especially horrified over this fake university measure. Do they know that Obama created it and executed a similar enforcement operation in New Jersey back in 2016? (via Fox News):
Progressives unleashed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Wednesday over reports that the agency arrested90 foreign-born students who had enrolled in a fake university, but someone forgot to tell them that the sting operation predates their favorite target, President Trump.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,and others reacted to news of the arrests by accusing ICE of entrapping students and implying that the tactic was new under the Trump administration. As it turns out, former President Obama's administration not only founded the fake university, it engaged in a similar operation in New Jersey in 2016.
"Earlier this year, Congress rushed to approve BILLIONS more $ for ICE + CBP," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "I saw members voting YES w/o even a summary of the bill. Nobody cared then how we’d pay for it. Now ICE is setting up fake universities to trap students. Yet were [sic] called radical for opposing it."
"This is cruel and appalling,"Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.,tweeted. Actress and activist Alyssa Milano similarly seemed shocked by the news.
In total, 250 students have been arrested in connection to the fake University of Farmington. When the university and associated arrests were reported on in January of 2019, federal prosecutors alleged the students had knowingly enrolled in the fake school in order to maintain their student visa status.
It’s the kids in cages all over again. It’s the tear gas being fired on hordes of migrants trying to bum rush the ports of entry. All of this stuff the Democrats have tried to blame Trump for was already done under Obama. In many ways, Trump is continuing a lot of Obama detention policies. But Obama also created DAPA and DACA, which are constitutionally questionable programs that shield illegals from deportation. Obama created the fake university.
It’s almost too good to be true and another reminder that in the media, when Democrats do it—it’s not evil. It’s not bad unless a Republican is the one in the Oval Office. Obama is the boogeyman again. Now that’s in the open, let’s just wait and see how fast it takes for the liberal media to suffocate this story with a pillow. Let’s see how quickly this story dies because liberals chose to bury their heads in the sand.
When the dems find out you will find it on page six, a non story
What a laugh. A true diversity university.
And I can imagine that ICE has numerous other stings still working that we do not yet know about.
KUDOS to ICE.
Down with the socialist fake news media who want to create Trump Derangement Syndrome Zombie Apocalypse.
I’m still not understanding this story.
Did ICE create a fake university, fake website, etc.
How were the students recruited? Were they residents of India, and all they saw was a website for the University of Farmington and apply?
Were they residents of the USA on expiring visas, and attempted to apply for visas under false pretenses? To whom was tuition paid? (I can see some other entity creating the fake university and ICE simply discovered it was fake). I can see the news media misreporting the story like that.
If the students didn’t attempt to go to classes or anything like that and didn’t complain they weren’t getting an education, then obviously the applied for visas under false pretenses. It raises questions about student visas at legitimate schools too.
I read of one American who had four or five degrees - as long as he was in school, he got housing, education, healthcare and a stipend. So, he just became a professional student with no plans to use his multiple degrees for anything.
...no different than a police sting where they offer free tickets and dinner with an NFL ticket ....only to be arrested for non-payment of child support, etc..
Did Obama use the fake university to smoke out illegals for deportation, or did he use it to provide them with a shield from deportation?
Re-reading...
The FBI and Justice Department needs to set up another ABSCAM to get rid of corrupt Democrats in Congress.
Oh. Obama’s team did use this scam to round ‘em up. In 2016.
Abscam (sometimes written ABSCAM) was a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) sting operation in the late 1970s and early 1980s that led to the convictions of seven members of the United States Congress, among others. The two-year investigation initially targeted trafficking in stolen property and corruption of prestigious businessmen, but was later converted to a public corruption investigation. The FBI was aided by the Justice Department and a convicted con-man in videotaping politicians accepting bribes from a fictitious Arabian company in return for various political favors. More than 30 political figures were investigated, and six members of the House of Representatives and one senator were convicted. One member of the New Jersey State Senate, members of the Philadelphia City Council, the Mayor of Camden, New Jersey, and an inspector for the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service were also convicted. The operation was directed from the FBI's office in Hauppauge, New York and was under the supervision of Assistant Director Neil J. Welch, who headed the bureau's New York division, and Thomas P. Puccio, head of the Justice Department's Organized Crime Strike Force for the Eastern District of New York. "Abscam" was the FBI codename for the operation, which law enforcement authorities said was a contraction of "Arab scam". The American-Arab Relations Committee made complaints, so officials revised the contraction to "Abdul scam" after the name of its fictitious company. From Wikipeda.
Sounds like a great idea... If they did it again they would probably get half of DC in the net....
So it’s possible to get a student visa in nondegree status? The story also said tuition was $10k-$12k....did they (ICE or someone else) actually collect it?
Who’d have thunk you could attract a liberal with free stuff?
So to win the long game, win the short game.
If AOC and Gray Beaver aren’t, they can’t win the long game
My son knew a guy at Rice that was a professional student. He had several degrees and graduated (again) with my son.
They stung lots of Democrats and only one Republican. The Republicans were too honest to fall for it.
Watch how fast it comes back alive if, huge big if, Moo runs. But she won’t as that would ruin her “Queen” status.
“Would get half of DC in the net”
My sister has an interesting theory on that. Trump shining the light on all the corruption is causing so many Republicans to retire. They know he is serious about rooting out corruption across the board and is dogged enough to do it. She thinks the Dems (who are a LOT more crooked) aren’t retiring because they believe he won’t be in office long and they will not get caught.
Had to laugh at this re ABSCAM: “a convicted con-man videotaped politicians accepting bribes from a fictitious Arabian company in return for various political favors.”
These days, you get your drug-addled loser son a high-paying, no-show seat on the board of a corrupt company in a corrupt country. You don’t take bags of cash as payoffs.
Yes, but did they have to drink from the toilets?
Only on fake news outlets they hate laws being enforced.
