Defrauding refugees in the name of US Resettlement.
(Syed Fawad Ali Shah, Peshawar)
The United States refugee admission program, set up by the
United States government for the well-being of refugees, has become the largest
organization to defraud refugees. Refugee cases sent to the United States
authorities by the UNHCR for resettlement in the United States are being called
upon by USRAP or USCIS to demand large sums of money. Not every refugee believes
such fake calls, but when the caller shares information that is very
confidential between the refugee and the USCIS representative, the refugee
starts to believe in such telephonic communication. Such a refugee pays
thousands of dollars for his permanent settlement. Number of complaints have
been received by the media personnel regarding such illegal demands In Malaysia,
too, the US Immigration Service have made calls to different refugees and
demanded huge sums as illegal gratification. The cases of those refugees who
refused to pay any bribe have been put on hold for unnecessary long times. And
in some cases even rejected without any cogent reasons. Whenever any Refugees
tries to raise his voice against such corrupt practices then his name has been
on halt for no plausible reason. Refugees have lost millions of dollars to the
corruption of US immigration officials. complaints Letters were also written to
the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia but no action has been taken till date.
The reason is that the same staff members are sitting there who are themselves
involved in corruption. This corruption trend began during the administration of
former US President Barack Hussein Obama. Corruption has grown in the Department
of Homeland Security and USRAP, including USCIS. The anti-fraud service set up
by the US government has also been a mere eye wash. The writer has all the
details of this nefarious game going on for the last so many years. If the US
government wants to take action by establishing a liaison with the author in
this regard, then he is ready to provide documentary evidence of this organized
corruption. It is high time that the US authorities should take stern action
against such black sheep amongst the ranks of their government. The USA can
improve it's image by eradicating this menace as it is a universally accepted
notion that seeking asylum to safeguard one's life and limb is a basic human
right and those who blackmail refugees for their personal aggrandizement are
nothing but a stigma over the name of the United States of America.
