The gift of the migrant horde just keeps on giving.
So, not only are illegal aliens unleashing horrific violent crimes across the country as they steal billions is Medicare money for extra kicks and giggles, but they're also defrauding student job programs. Awesome.
From Politico:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has identified more than 10,000 cases of potential fraud associated with a program that allows foreign students to extend their stay in the United States after graduating from college, ICE acting Director Todd Lyons told reporters Tuesday.
At a press conference with officials from ICE and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Lyons outlined some of the findings of an agency investigation into fraud associated with the Optional Practical Training program. OPT allows foreign nationals who enter the United States on a student visa to work in the U.S. for 12, or in some cases 24, months. The program also allows students to transition to an H-1B visa sponsored by employers.
Opening the borders for foreign nationals to flood into the country and then handing them taxpayer-funded perks and benefits actually wasn't a great idea?
Good to know.
The findings are likely to embolden those on the right calling for changes to these visa programs. Immigration hard-liners have long criticized OPT and other programs allowing certain students and high-skilled employees from around the world to enter the U.S. and work for U.S. firms, arguing that companies have used those programs to avoid hiring higher-paid American college graduates.
Not sure the right needed any more "emboldening" when it comes to protecting Americans from illegal aliens, but OK.
Have we sent them home yet?
