A Special Kind of Unattractive Migrant: Lured Here, then Jailed
By David North on May 9, 2022
There has emerged a special (and very small) category of clearly unattractive migrant to the U.S., and I do not think there is a term for them.
The process is an interesting one. First, U.S. authorities get evidence that the alien, who is out of the country, is apparently a criminal. Then they use collaborators to lure the alien to the States with a promise of a big payoff, which must be done in person.
The alien arrives somewhere in the U.S., usually on a tourist visa, sometimes accompanied by other alien conspirators, and finds that the would-be provider of the cash is, in fact, acting for the federal authorities and the alien is promptly arrested. Except for the tourist visa, all this takes place outside the formal immigration context.
Maybe we could call them “special nonimmigrant criminals” (SNCs).
