I quote the following article because I used to live close to the same neighborhood where ACCESS is located. I found out that associations of Arab citizens can form non-profit corporations and get welfare benefits from the state of Michigan that are meant primarily for Arabs. White American citizens are prohibited by law from the doing the same thing because of racial discrimination laws; yet, these same White Americans are expected to help fund ACCESS center welfare awards through their taxes (sorry, getting really angry as I type.)

I always suspected that ACCESS was involved somehow in loosening immigration laws for Middle-easterners and helping out illegal aliens from the Middle-East, using, you guessed, funds that had been provided by the taxpayers of Michigan, but my sense of political correctness stopped me from finding out more.

But no more.

Federal agents executed search warrants this week at the headquarters of a Dearborn-based Arab-American group.

The investigation is continuing and the warrants are sealed, so it was unclear what led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to search the office of ACCESS, the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services.

ACCESS spokeswoman Hannan Deep said the group was told the Wednesday morning search was related to a statewide immigration investigation that was not limited to Arab organizations.

Greg Palmore, a spokesman with the Detroit office of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs, confirmed the search but declined further comment.

ACCESS, 2651 Saulino Court, helps low-income families and recent immigrants.
