Between the announcement that the State is going to start resending citizenship and the health care fraud push I wonder if this anti-fraud push is another round of getting rid of illegals/visa/not real Americans.

Trump admin targets 'ghost students,' AI scammers stealing tens of millions in federal college aid​

Within California's system of 116 community colleges, 31% of applications last year – or 1.2 million – were found to be likely fraudulent.
he Department of Education is cracking down on "ghost students," AI scammers and others whom they say have recently swindled of tens-of-millions of dollars from the federal government – including roughly $8.4 million alone from California community colleges.

Within California's system of 116 community colleges, 31% of applications last year – or 1.2 million – were found to be likely fraudulent, according to data from the office of the chancellor for the college system.

What makes the system vulnerable is that anyone who applies is admitted and more students not having to attend class as a result of the increase in remote learning since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The scammers, with the help of stolen identities, bots and artificial intelligence join classes and stay enrolled until they receive their financial aid checks, according to The Los Angeles Times.

“The biggest target for fraud rings tends to be community colleges and lower-cost institutions,” Jason Williams, an official with the Education Department's Office of Inspector General, said on a recent agency podcast. “This is because their tuition costs are lower than other schools, which increases the student aid award balance for the fraudulent student.”

While prevalent in California, the problem of fake applications is nationwide, with reports of fraud rings in states including Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri and Nevada.

The Education Department reported in May nearly $90 million in disbursements recently to ineligible recipients across the U.S., including thousands of deceased individuals receiving some form of payment.

In Mississippi, a mother and daughter team recruited anyone in the area willing to participate. They then used these identities to apply for student aid, register for classes and collect the checks when the money was disbursed. They were later put in prison after obtaining $2.5 million.

And a father-son team was caught in Arizona after targeting $7.4 million across 300 identities and many schools across the nation. Many of the IDs in this case were stolen, according to the department's IG office.

Such cases frequently involve what are known as fraud rings. There is often a ringleader who recruits family, friends or anyone willing to participate to give out their personal information, such as a social security number, to create fake accounts.

AI and chatbots are also often used to operate such schemes, according to the Associated Press. And while many fraud rings can be traced to the U.S., some have reportedly been traced to places outside of the country.

The College of Southern Nevada is reportedly facing $7.43 million in debt due to fraud, with many of the “ghost students” reportedly found to be outside the U.S.

In an attempt to stop fraudsters, the Chancellor's Office for California Community Colleges says it's doing a "complete redesign"of its application, and officials are considering a nominal, perhaps $10, application fee to cut down on the number of fake applications.

At about the same time, the Education Department has announced that an identity verification process will be put in place this year for students receiving Federal Student Aid.

"As we continue to rehabilitate the student loan portfolio, we must also ensure there are accountability measures at every step of the student aid process,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said last month. “From start to finish – filling out the FAFSA form to loan repayment – the American taxpayer underwrites federal student aid programs. We are committed to protecting and responsibly investing their hard-earned dollars.”


Its a pretty good plan. Every one likes hearing the gov catching people pulling off fraud and it give a great pre-text to deport even more parasites. Be really interesting to see the demo breakdown after the DOJ starts catching people.

This reeks of terrified projection over their rightist Fascist bogeymen, since she is invoking Pinochet. Reminds me of a different Spanish dictator who was arguably the most effective anti-leftist in human history. - Goes to show Trump's policies are working if these people are so worked up.

No disrespect to the generalissimos, but surely the honor of being the 'most effective anti-leftist in human history' has got to go to the Indonesian dictator Suharto. Nigga killed at minimum 500,000 leftists (already BTFOing the entire combined casualty count of the Spanish Civil War in a third of the time) and probably 1-3 million of them at the higher end of estimates, giving him the unbeaten anti-Communist high score and buckbreaking Communism so hard that it's still stone dead in Indonesia to this very day. They've got many problems still but Marxism isn't one of them, in contrast to both Chile & Spain which are far-left shitshows these days. In fact there was a thread from just a few days ago about even the Spanish '''''mainstream right-wing'''''' joining all the leftards in criminalizing opposition to trooning out minors.
 
please if the regime in charge started to hunt down and imprison Christians you would gladly cheer it on, no one really cares when a regime is authoritarian, they one cares who’s wearing the boot.View attachment 7586414
It's fucking sickening. After decades of demonizing Christians, and maybe some deserved, they think we havent caught up to their game anymore. They want us dead.
 
I want a Fred Trump resurrection machine.

Don't ask me why, I just want it
Fred Trump allowed Holocaust survivors to live in his properties for free until they could get back on their feet. He also helped with the construction of a Brooklyn synagogue. Donald Trump's philosemitism likely stems from his father's actions

Also, for my jooish friend, have a chuckle @Catch The Rainbow
I feel like Massie is becoming a bit of a lolcow because he's floundering after losing his wife and he sees online validation as the solution to his problems. He's catering to a population that he's too personally invested in.
 
I actually have to agree with Hojicha here. Japan has more open access to degenerate content on the internet involving depictions of minors than any country on this planet and the rate of sex crimes against children per 1,000 population seems largely unaffected. I did my research on this a few years ago and was very disappointed that the degeneracy did not at least have some fucking payoff.

A country known for a low crime rate has the side effect of people knowing that if they go too far down a path, the completely bored police force will go all out because they finally have something to do. The reason “rude foreigners” are having fun right now is solely because Japan doesn’t want an international incident.

Why not just Niggers?
Cathedral implies a degree of organization.
 

Johnson on the megabill: ‘I’m not happy with what the Senate did to our product’​

House conservatives like Rep. Ralph Norman are chiming in to declare their opposition.​

Speaker Mike Johnson said he’s not happy with the sprawling legislation Senate Republicans just sent back to the House.

“I’m not happy with what the Senate did to our product. We understand this is the process. It goes back and forth, and we’ll be working to get all of our members to yes,” Johnson said outside the House Rules Committee, which convened to debate the GOP megabill Tuesday afternoon.

“So high stakes, aggressive schedule, and we knew we would come to this moment,” Johnson said.

The comments come as conservatives like Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) are saying they won’t vote for the domestic policy legislation, which Senate Republicans passed on the thinnest of margins Tuesday afternoon after a grueling all-night vote-a-rama.

Norman told reporters outside the Rules committee that the House should send back its original plan to the Senate and leave town, instead of even considering the Senate Republican plan.

“My advice is to send the House bill back, pack our bags and go home and tell them to get serious,” Norman said of Senate Republicans.

“That math doesn’t work out. They’ve added $670 something billion dollars,” Norman said.

Shortly after Norman’s comments, Johnson huddled with Norman and fellow Rules committee and House Freedom Caucus member Chip Roy (R-Texas) in a room outside the committee.

Asked whether July 4 is still a realistic deadline for getting the bill to President Donald Trump’s desk, Johnson said, “We’ll see what happens in the next 24 hours.”

There are social-conservative Marxists. Eliminating wage labor is kinda based, especially when the wealthy don't need to work a day in their lives and live on inherited financial capital.

Many Marxists even see immigration as a tool capitalists use to drive down wages.

As long as they are against the current liberal elite controlling our lives idc.
Yea and those “social-conservative” Marxists still end up sucking third world cock as they espouse their outdated 19th century economic system that probably wouldn’t have even worked in the time it was conceptualized in. See Jackson Hinkle, he laps up every opportunity to praise the CCP. Sorry, but the labor theory of value is a debunked concept akin to believing in a flat earth and “seizing the means of production” is a totalitarian move that would end up in party bureaucrats controlling and hampering the economy as the common people continue to suffer.
 
the completely bored police force will go all out because they finally have something to do
Holy shit is this true. A few years ago in Japan I borrowed a car to do some sightseeing, parked too close to a corner on a back side street, and got a ticket. I didn't want the person I borrowed the car from to find out about the ticket (shameful dispray) so I immediately went to the nearest police station (medium-sized city) to try and get it tossed via magic gaijin powers or, failing that, to pay it on the spot. Big, big mistake. It took me nearly two hours to escape from their clutches; fuckers were so bored - on a Saturday night, no less - that they treated a simple parking ticket like it was some kind of ultra-complicated ponzi scheme. I even had a police escort from the station to their headquarters. Hilarious in hindsight, eye-rollingly ridiculous at the time.
 
ICE agents are facing a 700% increase in assaults

2024- 10
2025- 79

View attachment 7586048
Not to defend rioting leftist faggots, but isn't this largely just because more ice agents are actually doing things now? They're probably at least 700% more active than the were in the biden year's when america's asshole was wide open and ripe for the taking.

Anyways any number above 0 is unacceptable, in the current year ice agents are heroes of the west and those who interrupt their righteous actions should be guillotined.
"a family in italy saw bodies wash up on the shore" so ice is going all the way to the other side of the planet, to a smaller body of water no less, to dispose of these migrants? I too am outraged, this is very inefficient, the gulf of america is right there ffs.

It's not authoritarian to force low level lawmakers to comply with age old laws.

If Zohran doesnt want to enforce the laws of the land he should go back to Pajeetistan.
