It’s All Fun and Games Until. . .

A bystander in Texas used his firearm to stop what appeared to be a violent robbery in progress. Police are now saying that the “robbery” was in fact staged for the benefit of a fraudulent visa application. The “robber” is still dead and the fake “victims” are nowhere to be found.

The Houston Police department initially believed that the gunman opened fire on Rasshauud Scott when he saw Scott attempting to rob a couple. Scott later died of his wounds.

Further investigation revealed that Scott regularly ran a scam that was designed to help illegal immigrants commit immigration fraud and obtain a “U visa,” which is given to individuals who are victims of crime and are permitted to stay in the country as potential witnesses while their crimes are being investigated.

Under the scam, someone stages a robbery somewhere that there are security cameras, such as at a gas station, and the “victims” then get to stay legally in the country, often for years, as the case goes unresolved.
