Illegal aliens are being recruited to join sophisticated criminal networks in the United States that stage accidents and injuries to get payouts through the nation’s personal injury system, House Republicans told Attorney General Pam Bondi.
In a letter led by Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), the group of Republicans warned Bondi that personal injury fraud is a growing industry in the U.S. that requires immediate attention from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
“These fraudulent schemes pose serious risks to public safety, increase consumer costs, and raise insurance premiums for the motoring public,” the Republicans wrote. “According to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, insurance fraud costs the U.S. $308 billion annually, with $45 billion attributable to property and casualty insurance fraud. More importantly, these activities put innocent motorists at risk of injury or even death.”
In particular, the Republicans noted that a criminal ring operating in Louisiana, staging vehicle accidents with commercial trucks, resulted in 63 individuals — including plaintiff attorneys — getting indicted as part of the federal probe into the scheme.
The Republicans said illegal aliens are also cashing in:
It also appears that illegal immigrants are being recruited as part of these schemes, sometimes as a requirement to repay coyotes who helped them cross the border. Numerous cases highlight the intersection of illegal immigration and alleged abuse of the personal injury system, with some plaintiffs reportedly using litigation loans and workers’ compensation payments to repay debts owed to human smugglers. [Emphasis added]
For example, in February 2023, Angel Peralta Ordonez, an undocumented immigrant from Ecuador, filed a workers’ compensation claim just two months after arriving in the U.S., later admitting in deposition that he used $15,000 in litigation loans and $6,000 from workers’ compensation payments to settle a $21,000 smuggling debt. ......

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Just another way of taking money from the Americans they were brought here to replace.
I have what I call a ‘scam cam’, a camera that points out the front of my car.
Get ‘em out of here!
Illegals. The gift that just keeps giving 🙄.
Drive through any large city in the USA and a majority of the billboards are for ambulance-chasing lawyers.
I guess when you run out of American clients, illegals are the next-best option.
Lawyers. They never create, only destroy. 80% of them belong driving a food truck.
Right now.
Or as janitors.
You should drive across Louisiana. They even post Bible verses on their billboards.
That’s just corrupt!
Well, it sure looks like Tom Homan and ICE have their work cut out for them.
Gosh, they just figured this out?
These scams have been going on for 30 years.
They are also faking being crime victims to work a loophole.
All they have to do is cooperate with police and they get a visa.
Imagine how far ahead of real life the movie I Love You, Alice B. Toklas was. 1968.
Peter Sellers as the burned out lawyer. It had one scene of a Latino man and his several young children all traipsing in with their cervical collars on, all claiming damages in a phony accident case in which they were riding in his open truck.
Sellers later was pushed by feelings of middle age crisis into somehow enjoying making love to the beautiful Leigh Taylor Young. Such acting required.
She was in Soylent Green, too.
Why are illegals entitled to Anything in this country?
Especially Constitutional Rights!
Why not:
What, you are an illegal? Get in the cell. You are leaving this country as soon as we can get you on a bus..
This has probably been happening in an organized way, for decades
The lib social workers would teach the illegals how to game the system.
This has been going on for decades.
A line from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul franchise:
“You don’t need a criminal lawyer. You need a criminal (pause, meaning who is a) lawyer.”
Officers of the Court, indeed.
Their addresses would be a great help.
