End the Epidemic of Scammers Targeting American Citizens

Foreign scammers have been wrecking havoc in America with near impunity for the past decade. They target the vulnerable, the trusting, and the elderly. It’s time to bring this to an end.

Our law enforcement is not empowered to deal with international criminals. The offender’s countries must stop letting these scammers slide, and vigorously enforce existing laws.

Therefore, for every scam or scam attempt that can be tied to another country, ten visa holders from that country residing within the United States will be repatriated. Visa holders who have committed violations of American law will be prioritized for repatriation, with the more serious crimes placing the visa holder higher on the list for repatriation. In addition, the country where the scam originated will be responsible to pay ten times the stolen amount. These funds will be used to repay the victim.

After repatriation, if one of the ten visa holders can prove that they have significantly contributed to the arrest and conviction of a scammer that targeted American citizens, they may be eligible to return. The other nine will be forever barred from reentry.

Instead of spying on American citizens, the NSA will focus it’s efforts on investigating and prosecuting these crimes, as well as determining the countries they originate from. Any visa holder found to be assisting in a scam targeting American citizens will be deported along with any dependents, and their possessions in America seized and used to compensate their victim.

We need to have all types of watch lists revised and any person on any watchlist should have ability to face accusers and their evidence or lack of it in court. FISA courts are highly un Constitutional and should be dismantled due to abuse of citizens rights.

The fastest legal way to stop most of the India based scammers is to interrupt the illegal phone calls. It would not be so hard for the FBI, NSA, or some other federal entity with cyber capabilities to act against those call centers.
Expelling people with legal visas is wrong. Go after the criminals directly.

Cyber warfare is the easiest way to get them. Second turn the CIA lose on them to ferret out how their money is handled and go after those accounts. File indictments against them. ID the people that run that the call centers and legally go after them in India and if they ever step foot into a friendly country, have them extradited to the USA to stand trial. Any of those call centers with terrorist links should be hit by drones.
