Is fraud legal for citizens? (Since you brought it up as a point)
- tptacek 9mo agoNo, but the premise of the ICE/CBP flood to MN is that the fraud is being conducted by deportable people. Note that ICE/CBP has no statutory authority to enforce fraud laws.
- Ferret7446 9mo agoMy understanding is that the "flood" is due to the state not assisting and arguably impeding ICE, vs states like Florida where the state is cooperating so they don't need as much ICE to do the work. It sounds like the fraud is being used as a red herring by detractors. AFAIK, committing fraud does not protect illegal immigrants from deportation, which seems to be the implied conclusion here. If ICE deports illegal immigrants who are also committing fraud, I can't see how that is a minus rather than a plus.
- tptacek 9mo agoNobody claimed that "committing fraud protects illegal immigrants from deportation", and I don't understand how that even makes sense.
