Immigrants screwing their own


From the Village Voice:

Edward Juarez says the mission of his International Immigrants Foundation is "to help immigrant families and children achieve their aspirations for a better life in the United States." But New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo says the mission of Edward Juarez (aka Eduardo Juarez aka Edward Juarez-Paglioccio) was to defraud immigrants "with false promises of citizenship" and charge them exorbitant fees for it, for which Cuomo is suing him and two of his companies.

Cuomo says immigrants were lured into Juarez' webs by ads, and also by Juarez's own weekly column in El Diario, where he served as an "immigration columnist" -- until today, when El Diario announced it was pulling his column ("We will cease publication of his weekly column pending the resolution of the lawsuit and other legal matters"). Juarez also announced his services on his "The Immigrant's Voice" radio show Thursday nights on Amor 93.1 FM, and his TV show on Azteca America on Saturday nights.


And from Fox 5/AP:

An Ecuadorean storefront pastor is expected to go to jail for scamming over 100 immigrants by promising to get them U.S. visas and legal status.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown says 57-year-old Gregorio Gonzalez, of Mamaroneck, pleaded guilty Wednesday to grand larceny. He faces a possible prison sentence of two to six years and will be deported thereafter because he, too, is an illegal immigrant.


Nice that we're spending NYPD manpower and DA time prosecuting people and helping victims that shouldn't be here in the first place.

Ever read the 14th Amendmant? Simply put, it states:
"Citizens" of the United States have the right to shut up and pay up

Who is scamming whom?

Edward Juarez really knew how to play the system, eh? TV, radio, print and web. And you know his "Foundation" was getting funds from the Fed.

Sotomayor, La Raza and the thousands of special interest groups. Ugh! So frustrating.

*grits his teeth*

"Bilking their own"...as Julia Harrison truthfully once acknowledged...referring to the likes of a Tommy Huang screwing his fellow countrymen.

And they crucified her for her honest observances.

Well...here's the proof she was right.

I don't know why anyone is surprised. They screw Americans every day and scam the system. Of course they screw their own. It's all about money. They don't care who they screw if it benefits them. Ain't this a great country?

People didn't crucify her for this observation. People crucified her for being an out-of-touch hypocrite who in her fantasy world didn't believe good old white folks screwed their own also. (See Bernie Madoff -- he stole more in one day than these folks will steal in a lifetime.)
