DHS Sets Up Fake Student Visa Op

The New York Times and other papers reported today on how DHS investigators created a phony visa mill, the "University of Farmington", in Michigan, and how they arrested eight recruiters, all with Indian names, who steered at least 600 phony students to the non-existent university.

Everyone concerned knew that the "university" was a hoax designed to secure immigration documents, but until this week no one outside the government knew that it was a sting run by DHS. It had an attractive website (now closed), but no classrooms, no students, and no faculty. All it did was collect tuition from the "students" and record their names and addresses.

The Times wondered what would happen to the "tuition payments", but could get no answer to that question.

Some of the Indian newspapers are now fretting about how these students were "misled" — a totally ridiculous concern since the all knew they were not going to classes.

What is not generally known is that several of my volunteers and I had previously suspected, from its website, that the University of Farmington was not a genuine university for real students, and we came very close to blowing the whistle on the place, which would have been a real disservice to law enforcement.

In a blessing in disguise, due to a failure on my part, nothing was written and the sting continued to operate.

About seven months ago, one of my keen-eyed informants, located on the East Coast, called the Farmington website to my attention and I found two volunteers near its location (in the Detroit suburbs) who initially agreed to help me on the ground.

Thus we had a strong clue (if one can assume that most foreign students have cars).

Fortunately, three things happened: Neither of my new Michigan volunteers actually visited the "campus" as I had requested, and I got distracted by other events and did not push them hard enough for anything to happen. So the phony "university" was never exposed in one of these postings, and the sting continued until last week.

Incidentally, as the DHS operatives must have known, there is a genuine, long-established educational institution, the University of Maine at Farmington (Maine), which had nothing to do with the sting.

ICE Force Feeds Detainees on Hunger Strike

At least six immigrant detainees on a hunger strike have been force-fed through nasal tubes by immigration authorities, while nine other asylum-seekers are starving themselves, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed on Thursday.

Eleven of the detainees refusing food, some for more than a month, are in custody at the El Paso Processing Center. Four others are in ICE detentions centers across the country: one each in Miami, Phoenix, San Diego and San Francisco.

"They have tubes that have been shoved through their noses and IV's giving them fluids. It's extremely painful and it's against their will," Kaur told NPR, adding that as recently as Thursday morning her clients told her in a phone conversation that they are experiencing nasal and rectal bleeding and vomiting.

They began the hunger strike at the start of the new year to call attention to what they say are inhumane conditions, repeated verbal threats of deportation and debilitating angst created by a total absence of information about their impending asylum cases.

Immigrants are only 14% of the US Population?

This was the highest share of foreign-born people in the United States since 1910, when immigrants accounted for 14.7% of the American population. The record share was 14.8% in 1890, when 9.2 million immigrants lived in the United States.

The foreign-born population in the U.S. grew substantially during the late 1800s, when immigration from Europe and elsewhere brought millions of new residents to the nation’s shores. In the 1920s, the U.S. adopted a series of more restrictive immigration laws, eventually leading to the establishment of a national-origin quota system in 1924 and a subsequent decline in the foreign-born share of the nation’s population. That immigration system was not changed until 1965, when the Immigration and Nationality Act created the same overarching immigration laws that the U.S. still uses today. Since 1965, at least 59 million immigrants have come to the United States.

Abortions are 500K-900k per year. 36 years since Roe v Wade that would be 18M-33M.

It still seems more immigrants have come that just 59M.
