Mexican Consulate of Tucson, Arizona is Coaching Illegal Aliens Through a Radical Left NGO
In partnership with the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, we have obtained footage of a former Mexican consulate lawyer coaching illegal aliens on how to lie to law enforcement and fraudulently seek asylum.
The Southside Worker Center in Tucson, Arizona, acts as an employment and information center for illegal aliens. Not only is the center linking illegal day laborers with businesses across Tucson, but they are also training illegal aliens to break the law.
On numerous occasions, the Mexican consulate of Tucson has hosted "informational seminars" at the Southside Worker Center.
During one such seminar that we sat in on, former Mexican consulate attorney Mayra De La Torre encouraged illegal aliens to lie to law enforcement. Mayra told illegal aliens that in the event they are questioned by law enforcement while working, to say that they are only volunteering, and to seek asylum by claiming that their life was in danger in their home country.
Our investigation reveals that the Southside Worker Center is in direct violation of 8 U.S. Code § 1324. Accordingly, we have referred our findings to Border Czar Tom Homan and the Department of Homeland Security.
