Tribe’s promise legal status to illegal immigrants for a price
Posted on: August 13th, 2007“A non-federally recognized American Indian tribe on Friday defended its recruiting of Hispanic illegal immigrants to the tribe under the promise that joining would keep the immigrants from being deported.
But advocates and federal officials condemned the practice as a scam, saying the group was defrauding people desperate to stay in the country of hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars while giving them false hope.
The complaints are reaching federal officials through community groups in several states.”
