One of those darn asylum seekers - Ali Sadr Hasheminejad of Malta’s Pilatus Bank, "When federal agents arrested him in March at a Washington, D.C. airport on charges of evading U.S. sanctions against Iran, he was carrying four passports." fastcompany.com/40571052/how-c…

Why do people insist on coming here legally? Can't we build a wall for them to tunnel under or something more challenging? vox.com/2018/12/10/181…

A overview on the use of mercenaries by Russia in their hybrid warfare program. Most researchers fail to track the money trail, do not understand the actual role of "mentors" in training local forces and forget that the "merc" aspect is just one part.. offiziere.ch/?p=34979
Russian investigators understand the impact of Putin providing a broad spectrum of political, financial, technical, legal, logistic, military and strategic services on an illegal or proxy basis. Putin tends to shoot those people or they fall off balconies. khodorkovsky.com/murder-journal…
Putin's funding of Prigozhin by allowing rigged bids to Russian military bases and then having Prigozhin use the excess to fund these small units to advance Russian interests is an excellent study model for Iran Contra style Erik Prince Afghan Plans or KSA/UAE hired Muslim mercs.

@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 Correct. But the attempt to mislead the FBI into reopening the Clinton investigation in a "November Surprise" is the heart of the election deceit. That's where the criminals are.
@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 Granite Intelligence is who Weiner handed his laptop and devices to after he was tipped off. Three days later Weiner's devices were subpoenaed. In late Oct, Rudy, Lara Trump and others began to snicker about a October Surprise. Then Prince spiked it in November 4th on Breitbart.
@LouiseBagshawe @Imwastntym @TheF0RCE @OldGrunt0351 "It took three weeks for the New York office to tell Comey what they had found. Comey did not learn of the laptop until 5:30 on morning of October 27, less than two weeks before the election."

Top Myths About #Asylum and why you should care:

Myth: Asylum seekers should file at US consulates in their home countries.

Reality: Asylum can only be sought at the border or inside the US. US consulates do not accept asylum applications.
Myth: Asylum seekers must present themselves at a port of entry.

Reality: The law (8 USC 1158) specifically says a person may apply for asylum whether they enter legally or not.

They can be technically prosecuted for unlawful entry, but that doesn't prevent asylum.
Myth: Asylum is only for political persecution, not for fear of gangs and terrorists.

Reality: There is NO requirement in the law that an asylum seeker's fear be politically based.

I've won many gang and terrorist related cases.

UPDATE: The Presidential proclamation barring certain non-citizens from seeking #asylum after crossing the Southern border is out. How will they limit it to the #MigrantCaravan? How much more illegal can this thing get?

I haven't even read this, so let's get through ittogether
(This thread is going to be a sequel to yesterday's on the "final interim rule" rushed into effect in anticipation of this proclamation, so you might want to read that one first.)

These #s appear to be the entire justification for the proclamation, and they badly need context. They may sound scary if you're new to the issue, but check out the overall historical picture & tell me this is a natl. emergency worthy of suspending a 4,000 year-old legal right

"But the investment programs have also proved popular with a Who’s Who of fugitives and fraudsters. Convicted felons Paul Bilzerian [Dan Bilzerian's dad] and Roger Ver gave up their U.S. citizenship and now use Saint Kitts passports."
"Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the illicit marketplace Silk Road, now appealing a life sentence handed down by a U.S. court, was attempting to obtain Dominica citizenship when he was arrested." #Corruption #CitizenshipForCash #EB5Visas
"JOHN KELLY, then Marine Corps general and current White House chief of staff, said the passport programs “COULD BE EXPLOITED BY CRIMINALS, TERRORISTS, or other nefarious actors.” #EB5Visas

Hmm, funny-he doesn't talk much about the program Trump uses to fill his properties now.

As a fmr immigration attorney let me be unambiguously clear. Crossing a boarder to claim asylum is *not* a crime; no under US or international law. Any child separated from a parent under that pretext is done so in direct contravention to the laws of the USA. ⚖ THREAD Pls RT.
If you came to the US without permission to apply for asylum, youmetjod of entry, whether legal or illegal *should* in no way effect your application process. Illegal entry is not a ground of inadmissibility for asylum applicants.
Unlike many other categories of applicants for immigration benefits, ppl seeking asylum in the US are not barred by having made an illegal entry; for example, sneaked across the U.S. border or overstaying a valid visa (one of the top ways people are in the country illegall).
