Scams/Abuse/Deaths - US Department of State -
Crackdown Targets Immigration Fraud
By Akilah Johnson, Los Angeles Times, August 29, 2003
Authorities in California are cracking down on scam immigration "experts" who promise to help illegal immigrants
legalize their status but just steal their money instead.
State Attorney General Bill Lockyer set up the Office of Immigrant Assistance two years ago and so far has filed charges against
14 unlawful immigration businesses.
Legitimate immigration consultants are required to be licensed by the state and post a $50,000 bond.
There are about 700 bona fide immigration consultants in California.
Immigrants make up 25 percent of California's population and are attractive targets to criminals.
In January this year, Lockyer intervened on behalf of some 300 Korean immigrants in the San Francisco Bay area
who were facing deportation. They had paid up to $30,000 each to unscrupulous Korean immigration "advisers" who gave them illegal green cards.
Johnson writes: "According to the Federal Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, fraud cases of all types have jumped 27 percent nationwide this year."
