You may think that Chicago is a haven of violent crime. But wouldn’t you feel silly to learn that some of those documented crimes were merely fabricated for the purpose of immigration fraud?

A Chicago man by the name of Parth Nayi organized hundreds of fake robberies in Chicago to help noncitizens acquire immigration visas. The visas in question are “U visas,” which are granted to noncitizen victims of certain crimes if they assist law enforcement in investigations. The incentive, of course, is to allow people who are not in the country legally to come forward with knowledge of criminal acts without fearing deportation — the same logic Democratic politicians use when justifying the existence of sanctuary cities.
