- In each incident, federal prosecutors said immigrants in search of visas paid to be the victims of a crime. The masterminds of the ring then staged armed robberies so the victims could be fast-tracked for the special visas. CBS 2 Investigator Megan Hickey reports.

These people need to be deported after being jailed for a long time.
You and I both know that they would bounce right back over here. I am thinking a step further.......
Hard labor
Dam Venezuelans they go to go
Obamas?
@@NIcholasparker88best answer 😅
If they spent this much effort & creativity in their OWN COUNTRIES, they might have not needed to go ruin another country
This type of scam has been going on for years. Whether there’s people coming in here to get free healthcare and education or getting falsely married so they can get a green card or lying about the marriages so they can get money from the government. This is just another type of scam done by migrants.
You believe this bs? Nobody is going to get shot for a visa, because when you get shot there is a good chance of dying. This is cops being lazy...
true, same goes for your granny from western europe

Deport, deport, deport after jail.
Not any US jail. Why should they get to eat off of our dime?
Deport them and stop wasting money.

Why wait? Get them out NOW.
Deport all of them back to India just recently in New Jersey a bunch of Indian students was looting our local Rite Aid thinking they won’t get arrested unfortunately for them the law enforcement actually cares about what happens to the neighborhood that I live in
These special visas shouldn't even be allowed
Someone tried to stop all this bs 4 years ago but everyone got mad for some reason
@@Hellcat71782 Democrat Votes~!~~!
How else are Democrats going to win a election?? They need all the illegal immigrant voters they can get. Welfare people and socialists only vote Democrat. They want free money
We wouldnt even have so manu illegal immigrants if Reagan's deportation and closed border policy didnt increase the number of illegal immigrants in US history....conservative policies havent worked eithef @@randpherigo9724
I mean, didn't his In-Laws get Citizenship by these types of "exemptions"?@@Hellcat71782
Such contempt and disrespect for the US. Deport them.
This is also happening with domestic violence cases, probably where the business owners got the idea.
Who cares
Yeap
Hm! 👀👀👀👀

Considering America is the most contemptuous, despicable, ignorant, racist, bigoted bully on the face of the planet ... I might suggest you worry about the entire farm in your eye, before the spec of dirt in the eyes of others.
why do we even have a program like this at all?
I don’t understand lol. Break the law to get here then be a victim of someone who broke the law as well then get to stay because of it.
@@pab1381 yeah it makes no sense and of course it would get exploited in this way
They said to encourage non-citizens to cooperate with the cops if they have been a victim of a crime without fear of being deported. Most people who are afraid of deportation flee the scene of any crime which is why we have so many hit and runs in my southern border state. Y’all didn’t even watch. This is an important law. I hope the abuse of it is punished to the fullest extent.
Democrats need immigrants
@@dcooper1115 no, people who come here illegally deserve no protection under the law. sorry.
This happened in Texas, but the fake robber got killed

that would make me feel slightly guilty when i got my visa
Texas? Where the cops stood outside of the classroom and listened to screams for an hour? Ohhhh
I remember that Bucktown robbery, YT commenters blamed all of Black America.
Oh no, heave forbid that happen. It's not like there's 1000 yt channels spewing all whites are racist or all whites need beat or all whites insert staryotype, get used to it this kind of hate will only get worse as both sides ramp up calling each other evil...
We were wrong. Most of Black America is an asset for all of America.
see, it's a combination of brown AND black
lets not act like ninjas aint committing most of all these crimes.....we all know better.
Commenters on this video will be just as racist, don't worry.
Silly fool… you don’t need a visa. The US will let anyone come and stay no questions asked.
Biden and Democrats
Then why does Biden keep deporting immigrants more than Trump?
They could just walk in.
And fi we let criminal TRE45ON back in, the border problems will triple!!
You obviously are too ignorant to understand the difference between a green card and someone pending an asylum hearing.
So these employees were working illegally???🤔
Cheap labor
Why are u suprised
It’s everywhere if you’re willing to look.
Not necessarily, all could have initially been granted “Temporary Worker Visas”.
Yea working not begging you want their jobs so bad go do them yourself !
What kind of “staged” robbery ends with an employee get shot?

One with poor marksmanship. Duh.
@@MomMom4Cubs-- or one with perfect marksmanship, who could be sure to hit the "victim" in an area that would not be lethal or permanently disabling
@@TakenTook Well, yes ofc. I didn't get the impression these winners had that ability.
Businesses were in on it. Obviously.
Thank open borders
Businesses I'll never support.
How do you assume the business owner had anything to do with it?
America is racist to its core it’ll never change
@@silentmajority8365 Most of these business owners are not the usual southern border types.
Joe Biden's migrants are so creative.

kool that we only had crime in the last 5 years smh

Fake robberies? How bizzare. Give them best acting awards.
Larping in Chicago...
Followed by jail time and deportation.
Deported from their own land 😂@@gnosticnight
And have vp Harris giving out the awards and make sure that she laughs at everything that they say and make sure that they are all speaking Spanish and I bet she will act like that she understands what they are saying 😂😂😂😂

They showed no concern about raising the crime rate, instilling fear in children and women, or accidentally causing harm by shooting someone. Their sole focus was on profiting from America, with no regard for its well-being.
The only country in the world that is hated by so many of its own citizens yet so many people from other countries are desperately trying to get here.
Too many scams these days it's beyond out of control 😮
Imagine the government offering “special” visas to crime victims…. 😐
This has happened to male college students & “victim” claims she was assaulted but never even met before!! It’s ridiculous!!

I get robbed and the cops tell me to stay out of dark alleys. Other ppl get special treatment.
We need to get rid of that kind of visa
Where are all the people that demonized a certain class and spewed hatred across all boards. Now ppl see these were staged by store owners. Hindsight is 20/20.
It’s all crickets 🤦🏾♂️😮💨they never have nun to say when they falsely excuse a certain color ‼️
Patel’s??? That name alone opens doors globally.
Still happens all day these just happen to be staged.
I was wrong. Trying to be the funny guy. I apologize.
This doesn’t change how I feel about a certain culture; six out of how many thousands were staged??????
These lawyers are creative in help their clients.
America truly is the land of opportunity 🇺🇸🇺🇸
😂😂😂😂😂
And who were these robberies blamed on???
Why are their identities being hidden?
Those freaking Habeebs working the system!

2:44 Venezuelan who else
Show me the incentive and I'll show you the behavior
Remember when you said there was no border problem? Remember when you said they are here for a better life and not for crime?
This is a poor explanation on how it works.
I'm more concerned on how many types of visas there are. In my opinion, there should only be a travel, work, student, or marriage visa. That's it.
It's a good thing your opinion doesn't matter.
@@iwatchyoutube523 We're gonna close the borders some day and all your third world relatives will be barred!
There are good monies to be made on USA loop holes. The Lawyers are the MasterMind!
This country is doomed.
And now your EXPELL them out of "OUR COUNTRY"
Megan Hickey you always come up with these almost unimaginable stories. Thanks for your reports!
Omg come on lol
I'm a Megan Hickey fan
Collect the visas and send them all to prison for federal fraud
this law needs abolished asap
I really hope that Megan isn’t standing that close to the street, those cars appear right behind her? Unsure if that’s a green screen but if it’s not, I don’t see the need for that just to get a good shot of the store. LOL
& WHAT WILL B DONE ABOUT IT??? NOTHIN. ( 3 )
Although I don't agree with the method, I can see why someone would try something like this this. Birth citizens might not realize it but US visa/citizenship is worth taking any risks
Why is Megan standing in traffic, does she have a death wish, or does she want to change from reporting news stories to becoming one?
She is standing on the curb of Milwaukee Avenue near Western & Armitage. I often catch the #56 Bus near there next to that Starbucks.
Shes so beautiful
🚦🚦😂😂😂😂😂
Our country has gone down the rabbit hole , politically and socially.
*APU was capping all this time......* SMH
WTF!!! I’m glad they’ve been caught. I bet you are too.
We keep assisting in our own demise. What if that much interest given to American citizens. We keep giving, giving, giving.
I don't know what's stupider, the people commiting the fake robberies, or the government that will give you a Visa, depending if you've been robbed or not☹️
I know a lot of immigrants. They talk about trying to get visas with incidents like this
Wtf !? This reminds me how they found out all these smash and grabs Nation wide was run by a suburb wyte lady!
just on how the clerk gave his response told me everything!
And who approved this ridiculousness?
One guy I remember was willing to get hit and on a fight and them say he was called names and was a victim so he could stay in the country. Be careful out there some ppl have other plans. You never know what someone is willing to do
What if it wasn't just law abiding families crossing illegally?
Deport immediately.
There should be no special treatment of crime victims if they are non citizens. You come here on your own free will and should get no better treatment than an American citizen. Our justice system is really F'd up.
Sigh. I'm tired of the illegal immigration issue.
Criminals thinking outside the box on this one.
That "lawyer" knows all about this stuff😂😂😂
its a crazy world you are ALLOWED to be smart creative and vigilant in your attempts to survive ... without hurting or taking from others
This is some third world level shenanigans right here
Import the third world, you get the third world
Migrant Crime
Shameful! People deserving those visas should get them. Investors, phds etc.
It is very disturbing but not surprising with the lawlessness at our borders.
I'm just totally shocked! Who would have thought this happened in Chicago? I can't believe it! Lol
THAT IS A RIDICULOUSLY STUPID REASON TO GIVE A VISA. SMFH ITS LIKE KIDS ARE IN CONTROL
Everyone knows that if you get robbed or you report domestic violence, you can qualify for a visa.. the laws need to chance.
Chicago again. Then Chicago again. Decades of the same leadership and nothing changes. What a surprise.
Wow 😮 . This is not common knowledge. Should be stopped.
i don’t know which is worse… crying wolf and staging a crime, or the government handing out visas simply because someone is a victim of a crime. 🤦🏽
DUH!!! Said this when it happened
so someone was shot for a visa?😕
It sounds like it. They probably made sure to aim for a part of the body that wouldn't be lethal.
Knowing there is a loophole of getting immigration status based on crime makes me mad. There should be no immigration if you’re a victim. Why would you want to be here? Suspect or victim both should be deported.
It's sad when people have to lie or deceive to get help. Smh
Getting shot for a visa...what the heck?
All inclusive y'all better stop being soft
Raise your hand if you have gone here to buy something... (Gatorade before or after 606) 🤟💪
They should lose their license to operate a business and deported
These are the new Americans, congrats, saluditos desde el sureste mexicano.
you need to force them to fix and replenish those businesses then deport them after
These are very unscrupulous people!
Why would u serve time so another person could get a visa? Whats in it for the robbers?
This was a storyline on Superstore 😂
Deportation Please
Remove the temptation
NO VISA FOR CRIME VICTIMS !!
Biden voters helping out future Biden voters.
Yeah or a terrorist TRUMPTARD
Oh go cry in your cornflakes
@@Lammar871Reeeeee Chronic TDS detected.
Governor Abbott voters helping out trump voters
I didnt know there were visas for victims...
I don't think they get a visa automatically. I think they get the opportunity to APPLY for a visa without being automatically deported because of being here illegally.
I feel like everybody scamming but me
they did this in Houston and the fake robber got killed by a near-by good samaritan
I am shocked.
This happened in Houston but instead a bystander shot and killed a alleged robber
Smarter than US govt. Admi 😮
Only in Chicago! I wonder what are the race of the criminals?
This should end well. 🤦♂️
Same thing with trafficking!
And then m not sure I believe it was staged 🤔 you stage a robbery and still shoot the guy was that agreed on or he just improvised not sure I believe this one 👎
I understand your doubt but the feds are involved in this investigation so I’m inclined to believe the robberies were actually staged.
The American system isn’t that slick after all
Pay government to create a problem.
Pay government to fix a problem.
Damn Megan is beautiful
When is INS going to do their JOB?
Thank Illinois Liberal politicians.
It was a federal law passed in 2000 when Bill Clinton was president. I wouldn't blame local Illinois politicians for this.
