Hello ALIPAC, I am contacting you today to shed some light on an unknown immigration problem, affecting thousands of U.S. Citizens and lawful permanent residents who have become victims of immigration fraud, and victims of USCIS policy: Violations of rights under the Constitution and Federal Laws. And on behalf of our group of 50 litigants, I would like to ask for your support (in any form available to you) as we move forward with our "Mass Claim" against United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). While the media is focussing on Syrian Refugees and illegal aliens crossing our southern boarder, it is missing a very key component in the fight against illegal immigration. Specifically, there has been little to nothing said about immigrants who have come to the United States under the guise of legal entry, when in reality they have defrauded U.S. Citizens and legal sponsors for the sole purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit. The current policies within USCIS allow for the following (all to frequent) scenario: A U.S. Citizen meets a foreign national, falls in love, and they get married or plan to marry in the U.S. after his/her arrival. They do get married and petition for the immigrant's green card, at the same time the U.S. Citizen signs an affidavit of support (I-864), agreeing to be financially responsible for the immigrant. Once the immigrant has obtained his/her green card, however, is when suddenly it appears obvious the immigrant has married the U.S. Citizen simply for a green card. The immigrant often times immediately files for divorce, or simply abandons the home. The lies and deceit are uncovered, and the fraud unravelled. Ultimately it is very obvious, he/she has defrauded their U.S. Citizen spouse, constituting marriage fraud and/or benefit fraud. Upon realizing the immigrant is not who he/she claimed to be, the U.S. Citizen informs USCIS of the fraud, and supplies evidence and affidavits and ultimately requests to be removed from the sponsorship affidavit due to fraud, expecting USCIS to take action, deport the immigrant and relieve him/her of any liability of the I-864. However, current USCIS policy and procedure forces the U.S. Citizen Sponsor to be bound to the immigrant (who entered under fraud) indefinitely, while USCIS refuses to perform its duties: - For a sponsor to be relieved of their duties under the I-864 contract, the immigrant must have his residency terminated and be deported. However, USCIS is the only entity capable of initiating deportation proceedings, and yet at the same time has the full and sole authority to make that decision. USCIS refuses to take action against the immigrant for his/her fraud, ultimately forcing the U.S. Citizen into the I-864 contract indefinitely.

- The Sponsor is denied any information relating to the I-864, including whether he/she is even still held to the contract nor allowed to obtain even a copy of the signed contract that USCIS holds. USCIS denies the Sponsor this information under the Privacy Act, and claims because the information pertains to the immigrant's status it therefore constitutes as the immigrant's private information. - The immigrant is allowed full access to any information the Sponsor submits to USCIS, while the Sponsor is denied access to any information the immigrant has submitted, even though it "pertains to him/her" directly. - The Sponsor is never allowed to argue his/her case with USCIS. Any information the immigrant sends, is never viewed by the Sponsor and therefore the Sponsor is denied the ability to ever refute any allegations falsely presented by the immigrant. - The Sponsor has no services, no victim advocacy, no help and no administrative procedure for arguing his/her case or obtaining due process, or any recourse what-so-ever. - The I-864 is enforceable by state law, forcing Sponsors into indefinite terms of spousal support, during family law litigation. The spousal support is not only indefinite, but the amount is also infinite, and decided upon at the discretion of the family court. This is merely a light review of the issue at hand. Our group of 50 individuals across the United States, is organizing a lawsuit to be brought against USCIS. The firm "Holstad & Knaak, PLC" (klaw.us) located in White Bear Lake, MN has agreed to take our case. Attorney Fritz Knaak is an ex-senator (R) for the State of MN, and the firm as a whole is extremely competent and qualified to take this case on and ultimately win justice for us. We are, however, in need of additional funding to bring the case forward, in the amount of $50,000.00. It is our expectation that we will win our case and the firm will request attorney fees as compensation for the almost certain expenses above and beyond the $50,000.00. Should we obtain the $50,000.00 in reimbursement from USCIS, we would most certainly reimburse our donors, in the hopes that they will be able to provide a donation to another in need. We believe our case will gain national recognition and will ultimately lead to further resources for U.S. Citizen victims, and aid the process of deporting criminal aliens. With that said, we would like to ask if your organization would be willing to consider any form of support to our case as we make plans to move forward. We would like to ask if you would consider offering a donation to our case, to help us move forward with our suit as soon as possible and help us obtain justice for our U.S. Citizen victims. I appreciate your time and your organizations efforts to educate and make change! If I can be of assistance with offering further information, testimonies or answer any questions in relation to immigration fraud, I would be more than willing to do so. And if you have further questions in regards to our case or if you are looking for specific information, please do not hesitate to contact me or the firm at your convenience. Thank you again for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Jessica H. Anlauf

We should review all such requests and although I'm sure we don't have funds to contribute, we could support their cause with moral support and encouragement which might help them to raise the money from others who have it to give. Just a thought.
