Fake ‘refugees’ are more common than Obama wants to admit

Open borders organizations have long coached illegal immigrants to claim “credible fear” in order to be guaranteed access to the U.S. if they are caught sneaking into the country. Now, so-called “refugees” from terror strongholds in the Middle East are using similar tactics to enter countries throughout the Western world.

According to Judicial Watch, the federal government is knowingly allowing into the U.S. hundreds of illegal aliens who lie about fearing for their lives in their home countries.

From the organization:

In mid-2014 [the National Immigrant Youth Alliance (NITA)] orchestrated a racket seeking to bring 250 illegal aliens into the U.S. through the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in San Diego, California. To assure the migrants were allowed to stay in the U.S., the group had them falsely claim that they had a “credible fear” of returning to their native country. Foreigners can claim asylum under five categories, based on fear of persecution over race, religion, nationality, political opinions or membership in a specific social group.

In this particular case, the DHS agency charged with guarding the border — Customs and Border Protection (CBP) — actually admits knowing about the ploy in advance but allows the illegal aliens to stay anyways. Here’s an excerpt from the records obtained by JW through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA): “BACKGROUND: The National Immigrant Youth Alliance (NITA) activists have coordinated previous demonstrations along the Southwest Border (Laredo, Texas and Nogales, Arizona). During this iteration, NIYA seek to bring 250 people to the Otay Mesa Port of Entry where they will request entry to the U.S. Previous CBP reporting of these events indicate the individuals applying for entry will have no entitlements to enter, pass through or remain in the United States and will summarily claim Credible Fear (CF).”

The increasing ease of entering the country on “credible fear” claims has spread via social media and word of mouth, leading to a dramatic increase in immigrants claiming they will be killed if the U.S. doesn’t allow them into the country.

More from Judicial Watch:

The figures are incredibly alarming. In the last five years the number of “credible fear” asylum applications made at the border has increased sevenfold, from less than 5,000 to more than 36,000, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) and federal immigration official told Congress during a hearing earlier this year. Now a law professor at a prominent university, the official told lawmakers that statistics from USCIS Asylum Division show an approval rate of 92% for credible fear claims before the 2014 border surge. “Unfortunately the high approval rate for credible fear claims, and the resulting backlog in the immigration court system, have meant that in practice ‘credible fear’ has served to screen into the United States undocumented aliens wishing to make asylum claims,” the professor, Jan C. Ting told Congress. “That explains why many illegal border crossers don’t run from the U.S. Border Patrol, but instead seek them out to make asylum claims subject only to the low threshold of credible fear.”

According to reports, refugees flooding into Europe from terror hotbeds in the Middle East are taking a similar immigration approach by faking Taliban threat letters to obtain safe harbor.

Via Stripes:

The handwritten notes on the stationery of the so-called Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan were traditionally sent to those alleged to have worked with Afghan security forces or U.S.-led troops, listing their “crimes” and warning that a “military commission” would decide on their punishment.

They would close with the mafia-style caveat that insurgents “will take no further responsibility for what happens in the future.”

But nowadays the Taliban say they have mostly ceased the practice, while those selling forged threat letters are doing a brisk business as tens of thousands of Afghans flee to Europe, hoping to claim asylum.

Forgers say a convincing threat letter can go for up to $1,000.

According to one immigration expert, only about 1 percent of those threats are legitimate.

As the Obama administration continues to push for more than 100,000 Middle Eastern refugees to be allowed to resettle in the U.S. within the next year or so, the two stories serve as a reminder of how easy it can be for individuals to game the immigration system.
