Changing a government form helps stop immigration fraud

Homeland Security Investigations agents move boxes of evidence. (Photo: ICE, U.S. Govnmt.)U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services redesigned the I-797 form, and although that action didn’t get much media attention, it’s already helping decrease fraud.

The I-797 is a form used to inform the recipient about benefits or decisions by the government.

The Center for Immigration Studies said the form used to be printed on high-quality paper, resulting in an appearance that looked very “impressive.”

Obviously tempers were not in check. Obviously, judging from the video, this confrontation began with a woman who appears to be a high strung type inciting the crowd.
