Pastor convicted of immigration fraud

From the NY Post:

A Queens deacon has been convicted of helping Chinese immigrants seek asylum over bogus religious beliefs by coaching them in how to lie to the feds.

Liying Lin, a 30-year-old deacon at the Full Gospel Global Mission Church in Flushing, was found guilty by a Manhattan federal jury on Tuesday on three of the four counts of immigration-fraud charges she had faced.

The feds say she offered paid lessons on Christianity to immigrants and then coached them on how to falsely seek asylum by claiming they were persecuted by China for their religious beliefs.

She is one of 26 defendants indicted by the feds in 2012 for allegedly participating in separate but overlapping immigration-fraud schemes related to the submission of hundreds of asylum applications containing fabricated claims of persecution. Most of the defendants are law firm staffers, including six Big Apple lawyers and many paralegals.

Those Chinese and Korean churches are set up for human trafficking purposes. Come on now, if you look at the stats on religion In China and Korea, 50 percent of people in each country claim time have no religion. For a bunch of people who have half of their population not believing in religion, they sure do set up alot of "churches". Why doesn't the government question these "Asian churches"? The government could make alot of arrrests if they just start to question these businesses and "churches" that these foreigners open. Not to mention, they could do alot of deporting too. But then again the government caterms to illegals and foreigners....so I won't hold my breath.

It seems as though everyone knows that all these Flooshing churches are bullshit and just used for money laundering and sneaking illegals into the country. And they are tax-exempt!!!!!

Makes you wonder just how many pols are paid to look the other way? And the icing on the cake is that they destroy many beautiful, historical old homes in the process.

The gorgeous stone house on north side of Bayside Ave. just east of Parsons is in a state of total disrepair. The once-pristine slate roof is falling apart. And they're parking on the front lawn!!!!! It's an enormous expanse in front of the house been totally ripped up!!!! These people should be arrested for the destruction of this once-beautiful property.

Who do we complain about this to? Peter Kookoo or Stinky Vallone? What a joke! Our politicians suck royally (except for Tony)

Perhaps Paul G. will look into it - hint hint.

"That's a man, man".

Hey, they are merely upholding the 300 year tradition of religious freedom started by John Bowne and the Flushing Remonstrance!

In this day and age, there really is no need for organized religion, it is all bullshit.

What do we all still believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, ghosts, witches, "miracles", the world is flat, the world is 6000 years old, we came from Adam & Eve, science is evil, FOX NEWS is actual news.

It is the 21st Century, not the dark ages.

What does it matter? all those illegal aliens are now called "undocumented immigrants" and are not kicked out of the country. And deBlasio wants to give them ID cards.

It seems every group of six asians need their own (tax-free) church building and (tax-free) passenger van.

Another tax shelter...sorry, "church." The Feds should shut all these places down and get them on tax fraud. As for the immigration issue, the Times ran an article on how the chinese fly over, push their babies out in our hospitals, get their babies US citizenship and then fly back home. Neither party seems to care about any of this for different reasons, choosing to ignore the repercussion of unlimited immigration.
