US CIS Adopts New Aggressive Posture in Rooting Out Immigration Fraud and Denaturalizing Fraudsters: "USCIS Is Declaring an All-Out War on Immigration Fraud"

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has created a special team of criminal investigators to root out immigration fraud, equipping newly designated special agents with expanded law enforcement powers to investigate, arrest and prosecute violators and even denaturalize cheaters.
"We're going to get to a place where people are going to know that if they file, and they're going to file something fraudulently, or they're not giving us their full story, we're going to find that," United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow told Just The News.
...
Edlow announced the initiative in September under a final rule that allows the agency to hire and train 1811-classified officers who can carry firearms, execute warrants and handle cases from start to finish without always referring them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

...
In one early test of the heightened scrutiny, USCIS's Operation Twin Shield in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area uncovered suspected fraud in 275 of more than 1,000 cases reviewed during a 10-day surge of site visits and interviews. Edlow declared the operation part of a broader crackdown. "USCIS is declaring an all-out war on immigration fraud," he said. "We will relentlessly pursue everyone involved in undermining the integrity of our immigration system and laws."
...
Individuals found to have committed immigration fraud, particularly in procuring naturalization through concealment of material facts, willful misrepresentation or illegal means, face potential denaturalization and subsequent deportation, according to U.S. law and ongoing enforcement actions.
..
Recent examples include filings against naturalized citizens involved in tax fraud schemes, identity concealment to evade prior deportation orders and naturalization fraud via fake divorce decrees.

Meanwhile, fully invaded-and-occupied Sweden shuts the open borders door twenty years too late:

🇸🇪 Sweden has just approved that to obtain citizenship, the following must be required:
- 8 years of residence
- Stable income
- NOT having received social benefits
- Swedish language exam
- Exam on Swedish values and society
If you don't speak the language or don't demonstrate that you understand how Sweden works → they won't give you citizenship.
Will this be the end of progressive Sweden?

Sweden was already the end of Sweden. About 99% certain the country and eventually the culture is already doomed unless something spectacular, horrific and wholly necessary goes on up there. And I just don't think *any* of the scandanavian nations as it in them to get it done.

This will ruffle some feathers but more than one woman here in the states has told me that Sweden is exhibit A in why they're starting to question the 19th amendment. Too many childless middle aged women are practically suicidal, and too many younger women listen to them.

89 Recently saw a video explaining what led up thr Apartheid in South Africa.

According to it, the British imported tons of cheap African labor into majority white cities to undercut the white workers.
Soon, the population of those cities was over 50% African, so the natives (Afrikaners) tried to take steps to preserve their culture and way of life. Apartheid was the result - and we see how that turned out. Probably really simplified, but it made sense.

Hopefully European countries react before it's too late, but it's probably too late already.

Brits (and other European powers) loved divide and conquer in its colonies by siding with this faction and then that faction. They had fought the Boer wars to essentially grab the diamond mines for example and were perfectly content to play the Boers off against the newcoming cheap labor forces.

Divide and conquer let the colonizers keep order with fewer troops than simply occupation.

Every society has elites complaining about the work ethic of the locals and wanting cheap labor. Eternal constant because none of the ruling class much likes to break a sweat (or their back) doing hard manual labor.

Societies that make common labor expensive may hurt profitability of corporations and land barons but have less social unrest, petty crime, and welfare usage as a consequence.

The best social welfare program in the world is a job, preferably private sector.

173 Sweden should add castration also required.

Just to be sure.

174 To elaborate on my comments in an earlier thread, I just don't get women exposing their hoo-has. I don't want to look at a chick's hoo-ha -- that's what boobs are for -- I want to play hide the sausage in it.

I can admire a pic of your boobs, but I can't hide the sausage in a pic of your hoo-ha.

Meet the new Pope. Same as the old Pope.

Hey, Pope Leo, stick to your knitting. Do you think you could look into why the Catholic church has been losing members for years, especially in the United States?

The last scene, where he has to choose between her and Valerie Hopson, always gives me pause, but I think I would've gone with Syblilla in the end.

Sybilla was the only sane option, despite her penchant for betrayal. Or because of it. Going with Hobson would have pissed off Sybilla, and she would have made sure that Mazzini would hang for the murders. She didn't know the details, but she knew that he'd done it.

Of course, Mazzini made it all a moot point by leaving his memoirs in his cell...

In Russian, the German language is "nyemyetski." From the word "nyemoy," which means "mute" or "unable to speak." Thus encapsulating the Russians' view of said language.

182 "Flutter-mouse"?

Speaking of mice: My big black Stirling cat has racked up a kill!

Well, I *think* he did. This morning I found a still little mouse body on the bedroom floor. He did not look mutilated, so perhaps Stirling (I'm pretty sure it was him and not Dagny, but who knows) just knocked him around until he died. Anyway, I tossed the body out on the front lawn, to return him to the environment.

That was about 8 am. At 8:30 I left the apartment and looked, and he was gone. Either he was unconscious and not dead when I found him -- I didn't check for mouse breathing -- woke up and ran away, or a crow or feral cat got itself a treat this morning.

185 This is going to be really embarrassing to the Trump administration because immigration fraud never occurs, just like voter fraud.
