Green Card Revoked held by Iranian

US State Department Revokes Green Card of Iranian Whose Mother Was Involved in 1979 Hostage Crisis

‘Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country,’ Rubio said in a post on X.

Three Iranian nationals with ties to the Iranian regime were detained this week after the U.S. government ended their lawful permanent resident statuses.

Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) until they are removed from the United States, according to the U.S. State Department.

Eissa Hashemi is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, whom Secretary of State Marco Rubio identified as “Screaming Mary.” Rubio also said she was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who took American hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held them for 444 days. Rubio said on X that during their captivity, the hostages were starved, beaten, and subjected to mock executions.

“Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country,” Rubio said in a post on X. “America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families—and under the Trump Administration, it never will.”

The State Department said that Ebtekar “crafted propaganda” that falsely showed that the American hostages were being treated humanely and that the hostages were pressured to say they were not being abused.

Ebtekar eventually married one of the hostage takers and rose in the senior leadership of Iran’s revolutionary regime, according to the State Department.

Hashemi, Tahmasebi, and their son came to the United States in 2014 on visas issued by the Obama administration.

Marriage Fraud under the Microscope

Trump tightens rules on marriage-based green cards

President Donald Trump is slamming the brakes on what used to be a fast track to green cards through marriage.

Under the Trump administration, federal agencies like U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are cracking down hard on marriage-based green card applications with tougher scrutiny, new residency rules, and a broader push to reevaluate existing statuses while axing programs like the diversity visa lottery, as Breitbart reports.

For hardworking American taxpayers, this shift is a double-edged sword—potentially saving millions in public resources by curbing fraudulent claims.

Historically, tying the knot with a U.S. citizen was a solid bet for migrants seeking legal status, though never a sure thing.

Now, USCIS is looking at these unions with a magnifying glass, determined to root out temporary arrangements made for cash or convenience.

President Trump’s team has made it crystal clear: if the marriage isn’t real, the application gets the boot, no exceptions.

Alien Green Cards

U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services (USCIS) introduced the current version of the Permanent Resident Card, best known as a “green card,” in January 2023. In fact, USCIS redesigns the green card every few years to reduce the risk of fraud and counterfeiting. However, new card designs do not invalidate previous cards. The green card continues to be valid until the expiration date printed on the front of the card. USCIS has not significantly changed the modern green card in terms of the information displayed and how to read a green card.

This is not the current version but is still being used apparently.



The front of a green card is mostly self-explanatory. It includes biographic information such as name, country of birth, birth date, sex, and card expiration date. Dates are generally in the MM/DD/YY format. USCIS removed the cardholder's fingerprint from the front of the card in 2023.

A conditional permanent resident receives a Green Card valid for two years. To remove the conditions on your permanent resident status, you must file a petition within the 90-day period before your conditional Green Card expires. Use our Filing Calculator to determine your 90-day filing date. You cannot renew your conditional Green Card. If your conditions are not removed, you will lose your permanent resident status and you will become removable from the United States.

Scam against the United States

California clinic owner got busted for one immigration scheme that exposes major security flaws

Law enforcement officials just cracked down on a shocking scam that helped hundreds of immigrants obtain green cards under false pretenses.

A San Luis Obispo County woman has pleaded guilty to a massive immigration fraud scheme that exploited America’s legal immigration system.

Chantelle Lavergne Woods, 54, of Nipomo, admitted to misusing physicians’ medical identities to create fraudulent immigration documents for immigrants seeking legal status in the United States.

Woods operated a clinic in Arroyo Grande called “Medical Weight Loss and Immigration Services” where she forged medical documents required for green card applications.

Investigators alleged the clinic processed 1,047 sales from June 2021 to March 2022, resulting in payments reaching nearly $290,000.

Woods is free on a $10,000 bond while she awaits sentencing by U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin, set for July 31.

She faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison for each count.

According to court documents, Woods knowingly misused the identities of three physicians to create hundreds of fraudulent documents pertaining to medical examinations of individuals seeking lawful permanent resident status.

Massive Marriage Fraud

DOJ Investigation Uncovers Massive Green Card Scheme

The United States immigration system is under a full-scale assault and it goes beyond the disaster at the southern border. As a report published by the Department of Justice explains. The DOJ was able to uncover a massive green card scheme and currently has 11 individuals in lockup in connection to the scam.

Marcialito Biol Benitez a 48-year-old Philippines national, “operated what he and others referred to as an ‘agency’ that arranged hundreds of sham marriages between foreign national ‘clients’ and the United States citizens,” according to a press release made by the Department Of Justice.

“One of those foreign national clients resided in Massachusetts. The agency then allegedly prepared and submitted false petitions, applications and other documents to substantiate the sham marriages and secure adjustment of clients’ immigration statuses for a fee of between $20,000 and $30,000 in cash,” the DOJ said.

Immigrant Welfare Recipients now can get Green Cards

Only in America!

Court Blocks Trump From Denying Green Cards to Welfare Recipients

According to Fox News:

A federal appeals court on Wednesday declined to lift an injunction on the Trump administration’s “public charge” rule that would restrict green cards for immigrants deemed likely to be reliant on welfare.

A nationwide injunction that stopped the rule from taking effect was imposed by a federal judge in New York in October. The Trump administration appealed, but the panel of the Second Court of Appeals declined to lift it ahead of a briefing on the merits which is set to wrap up in February and be followed by oral arguments in March.

A standard of not admitting “public charges” to the U.S. has been a part of U.S. law for decades. Yet it has never been formally defined in statute. The Trump administration rule, announced by U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services in August, sought to do that by defining a “public charge” as an immigrant who received one or more designated benefits for more than 12 months within a 36-month period.

Those benefits would include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), as well as most forms of Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. The rule expands the number of benefits that can be considered from interim guidance issued in 1999.

Will Democrats ever consider that they are ruining our country?

Plan to Deny Green Cards to Immigrants on Public Assistance

President Trump to reduce immigrant public benefits abuse

And the those on the Left are going bananas and of course some of them plan to sue.

"Trump administration rules that could deny green cards to immigrants who use Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers or other forms of public assistance are going into effect, one of its most aggressive moves to restrict legal immigration."  Immigrants already have to prove they won't be a burden to this country.

As Lake Worth is a "Welcoming City" and the Guatemalan-Maya Center is here giving assistance to illegals and other immigrants as well as encouraging them to cross our border, this will affect possibly thousands who live in our city.

United States issuing Green Cards to Mid-East Muslims like candy


"For those concerned about the potential for terrorism, the number of Muslim immigrants being settled into towns across the country are alarming.

But there's something they're not telling us about the massive influx of "refugees" from Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan coming into the United States ...

Democratic Party front-runner Hillary Clinton wants to increase the influx of Syrian refugees from 10,000 to 65,000, an increase of more than 500 percent. Donald Trump, the presumed GOP nominee, has said he wants to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. but has showed signs of softening that stance recently."  We hope that he sticks with his original policy.

Obama making it easier for foreign workers to compete for American jobs

Per Numbers USA, as American workers began to welcome in the start of a New Year, the Obama Administration did its best to crush their hopes of finding new jobs or increasing their pay in the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, the Obama Administration published a massive, 181-page proposed rule to the Federal Register that would allow the Department of Homeland Security to grant work permits to skilled foreign workers well-above the limits established by Congress.

The most offensive provision would allow foreign workers in the country on the H-1B non-immigrant guest worker visa to receive a three-year work permit until they become eligible for the limited number of employment-based green cards.

HERE'S HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN
High-skilled foreign workers are sponsored by U.S. employers for the three-year temporary H-1B work visa. (We've documented on numerous occasions the devastating effects that current, abusive H-1B practices have on skilled American workers and their wages.) These foreign workers can renew their H-1B visas once for a total of six years, but they must leave the country after the six-year period unless their employer applies for and receives a permanent employment-based green card on their behalf.

The rule attempts to appease the tech companies that want the annual caps raised and per-country limits eliminated. For example, the EB-2 green card, which is reserved for foreign workers with "advanced degrees" is capped at around 40,000 per year. But only 7% can be issued to workers from one country, so many times a foreign worker from India or China must leave the country at the end of the six-year period because the feds have already reached the limit for the year in that particular category or to citizens of that particular country.

Pres. Obama's proposed rule would allow those foreign workers who have not received their EB-1, EB-2, or EB-3 visas (even though an application has been filed on their behalf) to receive a three-year work permit until a green card becomes available. None of these new work permits would count against any of the existing caps for non-immigrant visas or green cards established by Congress.

Over the years, employers have been more selective when choosing which H-1B workers for whom they submit employment-based green card applications for. But should this new rule be implemented, employers can apply for green cards on behalf of all their foreign workers knowing they'll receive work permits even if the caps have been reached.

Even with its cap restrictions, employers prefer H-1B workers over American workers because they can pay them less and the workers can't switch jobs, which is why they've been pressuring Congress for years to increase the caps. This proposed rule accomplishes the same by lifting the six-year limit and exempting them from the H-1B caps.

Obama Corrupting Democracy?


(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch-- announced  that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking records related to letters sent by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to current green card holders urging individuals to become naturalized U.S. citizens prior to the 2016 election (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (No. 1:15-cv-01702)).  The lawsuit was filed on October 16, 2015.

In April 2015, President Obama’s “White House Task Force on New Americans,” issued a strategic action plan to help millions of green card holders become U.S. citizens.  Immigration Services is reportedly reallocating vast resources away from its “Electronic Immigration System,” a computerized system designed to facilitate national security and criminal background checks, to a campaign of letters to all nine million green card holders urging them to naturalize before the 2016 election.  The Obama administration push includes federal funding for leftist groups that advocate for illegal aliens and amnesty.

Read about it... and the corruption that is going on in our country to solicit Democratic voters at the expense of safety of the American people.

Rich foreign investors with green cards running amok?

EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

USCIS administers the EB-5 Program. Under this program, entrepreneurs (and their spouses and unmarried children under 21) are eligible to apply for a green card (permanent residence) if they:
  • Make the necessary investment in a commercial enterprise in the United States; and
  • Plan to create or preserve 10 permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers.
This program is known as EB-5 for the name of the employment-based fifth preference visa that participants receive.

Congress created the EB-5 Program in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. In 1992, Congress created the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as the Regional Center Program. This sets aside EB-5 visas for participants who invest in commercial enterprises associated with regional centers approved by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth.

On its face, this sound great for the United States. But a new article out today by Sunshine State News says Rich foreign investors running amok
