State Department fires visa specialist caught saying he advises people on avoiding deportation
The State Department has dismissed a visa specialist who was caught on hidden camera saying that he coaches potential illegal aliens on how to avoid deportation, as well as condemning his Jewish co-workers as “garbage people.”
A senior State Department spokesperson said Friday that the analyst, whose job involves reviewing visa applications, no longer works for the department, shortly after the undercover video was posted by guerrilla journalist James O’Keefe.
“The contractor is no longer employed by the U.S. State Department,” the spokesperson told The Washington Times in an email. “Upholding the rule of law and protecting the integrity of our immigration system is essential, which is why the Department will launch a new contractor screening and vetting process.”
