Another African immigrant fraud story

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

This one is from the UK and it’s about Nigerian Bimbo—no I am not calling her Bimbo, that is her name.  Last week it was the hustler from Guinea here who claimed the DSK raped her back in May.

Read all about Bimbo Abeyalabola, here. (Hat tip: Paul)  They call this birth tourism—go to a western country for vacation just as you near your due date!

Remember our friend Bimbo Abeyalabola of Nigeria, who came on a visitor’s visa to Britain expressly in order to give birth to her quintuplets, which cost the state £200,000, and now is appealing to the government to let her stay in Britain because it would be a hardship for her to return to Nigeria?

She had claimed to be single and almost penniless.

She had told an interviewer, “If I go back [to Nigeria] I’ll be on my own without even a roof over my head.”

Guess what? It turns out she’s married to a well-to-do Nigerian businessman.

Read on.   Stories like these are why it becomes so difficult to believe asylum seekers stories from Africa.

Yale professor defends lying asylum-seeking maid in DSK case

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

…..you gotta give her a break for lying because rich people and the evil US mining companies exploit her country.  Oh brother!   This is what we are promoting at Yale these days?  Typical Leftwing defense….

Oh, and no mention here that DSK is a rich Far Left politician who has been all for bringing diversity to France (for cheap labor).

In defense of the lawbreaking hooker maid who only wants a better life in America, read ‘Before you judge, stand in her shoes’ in the NYT (hat tip: a friend from TN):

People fleeing state-sponsored violence and extreme poverty will do anything to leave. I receive requests every few weeks to write expert-witness affidavits for West African asylum claimants. As a personal matter of conscience, I will not write in support of an applicant whose testimony I believe contains inconsistencies. [that’s big of you!]

Yet asylum claimants are often asked to perform an impossible task. They must prove they have been subject to the most crushing forms of oppression and violence — for this, bodies bearing the scars of past torture are a boon — while demonstrating their potential to become hard-working and well-adjusted citizens.

This is where the lies and embellishments creep into some asylum seekers’ narratives. Immigrants share tips and hunches about ways to outwit the system, even as immigration judges try to discover the claimants’ latest ruses. But I can say from experience that for every undeserving claimant who receives asylum, several deserving ones are turned down. So few Africans gain access to green cards through legal channels that the United States government grants about 25,000 spots annually to Africans selected at random through the diversity visa lottery.

And, he even has the audacity to bring in that thoroughly insane and corrupt “diversity visa lottery” as if was a good thing!

Read it all!   And, thank the good professor for confirming that the immigrants share tips on how to scam the system.

Come to think of it, readers, did any of you know that Yale professors were writing letters in support of asylum seekers? Maybe Mr. Yale professor wrote an expert-witness affidavit for this hooker/maid?  By all accounts she was a fabulous liar and maybe she conned him too!

Just ‘marry’ a gay or lesbian and stay in the USA

One more backdoor amnesty from the Obama Administration—they were busy last week.  One day we had Janet Napolitano telling Congress that any illegal alien kid in school wouldn’t be deported, and at the same time, with the decision in this case, seems all you have to do is ‘marry’ someone gay and you are in!  Problem is that most states do not recognize gay marriage.

From Fox News:

The federal decision to stop deportation proceedings against a Venezuela-born New Jersey man who legally married his same-sex partner in the United States — effectively recognizing gay marriage — is an “abuse of executive authority” by the Obama administration, immigration experts told FoxNews.com.

Henry Velandia, a 27-year-old professional salsa dancer from Caracas now living in New Jersey, legally married U.S. citizen Josh Vandiver, 30, in Connecticut last year, but due to the Defense of Marriage Act — a 1996 federal law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman — Vandiver was not allowed to sponsor Velandia for a green card in the same way a heterosexual person could for his or her spouse. The Department of Homeland Security nevertheless decided to drop deportation efforts against him Wednesday.

Velandia told FoxNews.com that Wednesday’s ruling was a “big, uplifting moment” and the product of a year’s worth of hard work on behalf of the couple’s attorney, Lavi Soloway.

“I can now be with Josh, my husband, in this country without fear of being torn apart,” he said on Friday. “It’s like our first day building up our life together. But we know the fight is not over. We’re going to keep fighting for marriage equality for all the couple who are in the same situation.”

CIS:  Obama Administration abusing executive authority

But Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, said the decision is misguided prosecutorial discretion that could “destroy the credibility” of immigration law in the United States.

“This is another instance of the Obama administration’s abuse of executive authority on behalf of select groups of removable aliens that it thinks are sympathetic to make a run around Congress and provide amnesty to as many illegal aliens as possible,” Vaughan said. “These people are props for the administration, which is uncomfortable in its mission to enforce immigration laws. What they’re really doing here with this policy of discretion is giving a free pass to huge numbers of people who have been living here illegally.”

By the way, this whole LGBT business is now the next big asylum excuse!  What! Do we just take peoples’ word for it that they are homosexual, or bi-sexual or transgender?

Oh, and did you see that the Pakistanis are p*****-off at the US State Department for an Embassy LGBT pride event; they called it cultural genocide by the US against Pakistan.

‘Brains’ behind phony Chinese Army unit pleads guilty in yet another immigrant scam

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

His victims were either in the US illegally or asylum seekers (otherwise they could have joined the real Army for real money), but just didn’t want to let this opportunity pass to let readers know about one more novel immigrant scam.  Yesterday, it was the asylum applicant who was raped (well, maybe not so much) by the rich and powerful, here.

From the Los Angeles Times:

An El Monte man was sentenced to three years in state prison Wednesday in connection with a scheme to recruit 200 Chinese nationals and charge them for joining a phony Army Special Forces unit that he led as “supreme commander,” Los Angeles County prosecutors said.

Under the deal with prosecutors, Chinese national Yupeng “David” Deng pleaded guilty to three felony charges including false pretenses, manufacturing deceptive government documents and counterfeit of a government seal, said Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. As part of his sentence, he will be required to pay restitution to the victims.

Separately, Deng pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography stemming from a search warrant executed at his home in connection with the phony Army unit investigation.

Rape case against French official crumbles; lies on asylum application partially responsible

~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

Update July 2:  Asylum seeker was a hooker, here.  I wonder how she got into the US in the first place?  New English Review has a story today too, here.  Case shows dark underbelly of African asylum seeking world, here.

Update:   Just received Debbie Schlussel’s much juicier post on this story, here.

You would have to be living under a rock not to have heard about the allegations back in May about the head of the International Monetary Fund’s arrest in New York City for supposedly raping a hotel maid from Guinea.

Now, today, the case is falling apart due to “discrepancies” in the maid’s story including lies she has admitted to making on an application for asylum.  So what else is new!

Should we expect the truth about rapes and persecutions in Africa?

If this woman hadn’t tried to go for the big bucks by claiming rape this time and thus generating a more thorough look at her sob story, she would surely have had her asylum application zip through the system and she would be on her way to American citizenship.  But, boo hoo, it looks like she could end up being deported (after serving some jail time).  She is also alleged to have been connected with an illegal drug ring.

Here is what the New York Times reported and below NBC tells us more of the story.   I bet if you went back to the NYT readers would find much gushing sympathy for the maid in previous accounts.

NYT:

Prosecutors disclosed that the woman had admitted lying in her application for asylum from Guinea; according to the letter, she “fabricated the statement with the assistance of a male who provided her with a cassette recording” that she memorized. She also said that her claim that she had been the victim of a gang rape in Guinea was also a lie.

The woman also acknowledged that she had misrepresented her income to qualify for her housing, and had declared a friend’s child — in addition to her own daughter — as a dependent on tax returns to increase her tax refund.

Wouldn’t you love to know who gave her the cassette recording with her story pre-recorded!  Was it someone with an NGO?  Maybe an asylum lawyer?

And, don’t you just wonder if they vary those tapes at least  a little bit for each of their ‘clients’ or does this woman’s story match closely scores of other asylum claims from Africa?

Now here is NBC’s version with more of the story:

The letter also discusses inconsistencies on the maid’s application for asylum from Guinea, where she is from. The lies, which were made under penalty of perjury, could expose her to federal charges.

In the asylum application, and to prosecutors, the maid claimed her family was persecuted and harassed by Guinea’s dictatorial regime, and that police and government soldiers had destroyed her home and beaten her and her husband.

She later admitted to prosecutors that the information was a lie, the letter said.

The letter also suggests that she falsely claimed to have been gang raped in Guinea.

While recounting that previous rape story to prosecutors, the maid cried and “appeared to be markedly distraught when recounting the incident.”

But in subsequent interviews, “she admitted that the gang rape had never occurred,” the letter said.

Readers the asylum system (part of the refugee program) is being widely abused.
