DOJ to strip citizenship from immigrant child sex abusers

The Department of Justice filed lawsuits Tuesday to revoke the U.S. citizenship of five immigrants who pleaded guilty to sexually abused minors in incidents determined to have been perpetrated before they became naturalized.

According to the DOJ, these individuals "unlawfully procured their U.S. citizenship by concealing sexual abuse of minor victims during the naturalization process."

"Committing fraud in any immigration matter undermines the integrity of our immigration system, and is a betrayal of the American people's generosity," AG Jeff Sessions said in a statement. "It is especially appalling when it also involves the sexual abuse of children."

Hopefully their citizenship will be revoked and they undergo chemical castration or be put to death. In fact, if the latter punishment could be doled out, that would save court costs for revoking their citizenship if we could find a way to reduce the appeals process.

According to the DOJ, the citizenship of a naturalized U.S. citizen can be revoked under the Immigration and Nationality Act if naturalization was illegally procured through hiding information.

The human vermin include:

Jorge Luis Alvarado, 56, and a native of Mexico. The sleaze obtained his citizenship March 9, 2000 and pleaded guilty in 2007 to committing indecency with a child by sexual contact. According to the DOJ, the assault took place shortly before filing his naturalization application.

Alberto Mario Beleno, 64, a native of Colombia. He became a citizen Feb. 26, 2001 and pleaded guilty that year to molestation of a minor in 1993 and 1994. 

Eleazar Corral Valenzuela, 49, a native of Mexico. He became a citizen on June 15, 2000. The DOJ said he abused a minor child before he applied for naturalization and pleaded guilty to the charge in 2000.

Moises Herrera-Gonzalez, 55, a native of Mexico. He became a citizen on Sept. 25, 1999. He pleaded guilty in 2002 of sexually assaulting a six-year-old child in 1996. He not only needs to lose his citizenship, he needs to lose the right to use oxygen. 

Emmanuel Olugbenga Omopariola, 60, a native of Nigeria. He became a citizen on July 1, 2004 (Canada Day--so why not send him there?) and pleaded guilty in 2015 to unlawful sexual contact with a seven-year-old child before he was naturalized.

These cases were referred to the DOJ by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border.

"The Department of Justice has a duty to prosecute these crimes vigorously, particularly so for individuals who commit fraud in the naturalization process," Sessions said.

A country has the sacred duty of protecting its citizens and most importantly, protecting its children.
