“Temporary” refugee indicted in Massachusetts on charges of lying to stay in US

No, can you believe it!  The Salvadoran is alleged to have lied on his application for Temporary Protected Status in order to stay in the US.  Imagine that!

From Reuters:

WASHINGTON, Feb 8 (Reuters) – A former Salvadoran military officer allegedly linked to the murder of six Jesuit priests during El Salvador’s civil war was indicted in federal court in Massachusetts on Wednesday for perjury and lying on immigration forms in order to stay in the United States, the U.S. Justice Department said.

Inocente Orlando Montano, 69, who lives outside Boston, lied on federal applications about when he entered the United States and concealed his military background on a Department of Homeland Security application for Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, the indictment alleged.

Just a reminder!  Arab activist groups, Syrians and their NGO friends are pushing for Temporary Protected Status for Syrians to be able to stay in this country—LOL!—temporarily.
