From Breitbart: A report claims that the U Visa program has become just another path to citizenship that illegal migrants have mired in fraud and abuse.
The program, launched by Congress in the year 2000, was meant as an aid to law enforcement and was thought of as a unique way to solve crimes in the migrant community that would otherwise go unsolved, mostly due to a lack of cooperation among witnesses and victims in that community.
The program allowed illegals — both victims and witnesses — to work with police to solve crimes by coming forward with tips and information on serious crimes. After working with police, the program allowed illegals to gain legal standing based on their assistance to law enforcement. But instead of helping police solve crimes, the program has become a burden replete with massive fraud, frivolous applications, and misuse.
With its study, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found that upwards of 416,000 petitions have been filed by migrants and most are simply granted the generous benefits in the program outright whether they actually helped police or not, despite that the program is supposed to only allow 10,000 applications annually.
The report explains that hundreds of thousands of fake applications with allegations of crimes that never even took place have been filed with police departments all across the nation.
In addition, illegal aliens have reportedly staged fake robberies and crimes against other migrants, just so the migrants could file fake U-visa applications.
