Special visas fast-track illegal immigrants to residency

By MICHAEL MATZA
The Philadelphia Inquirer

Published: Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011 – 1:00 am

PHILADELPHIA — The federal government has an unusual fast track to legal residency for illegal immigrants.

Antonio Luna’s ticket was a bullet in the back.

The 30-year-old Mexican, who slipped into the United States in 2000, was delivering pizza to a narrow South Philadelphia street on a night two summers ago.

The customer on the steps, in a hat raked low, took his time paying – time enough for another man to leap from between parked cars and thrust a gun against Luna’s forehead.

Luna gave up the food, his cellphone, and $140. The first man ransacked his car; the gunman forced him to the ground. “He told me, ‘If you want to run, run,’ ” Luna recounted recently. “I didn’t have a chance because he shot me” in the lower back.

Gushing blood, howling in pain, thinking he might die, Luna never imagined how the assault would better not only his life, but also that of his wife and two children.

The next morning, detectives came to his bed at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. They told him they did not care about his immigration status. They just wanted his help. He immediately picked the gunman from a book of mug shots. Police made the arrest that night.

For aiding the investigation, Luna got a reward: a “U visa.”

It grants residency to illegal immigrants who have been victims of violence and cooperate with law enforcement. That could range from giving information to police to testifying at trial.

A U visa includes a work permit good for four years. After three years, the victim can apply for a green card, allowing permanent work-authorization and residency.

In the nearly three years that U visas have been available, about 25,000 victims and 19,000 relatives have received them. The number living in the Philadelphia area was not immediately available from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Lawyers who represent illegal immigrants say their risk of abuse, exploitation and victimization is high because they fear deportation if they report a crime.

For years, Luna had tried to live small, to avoid notice.

After he was shot, his application for a U visa was guided by Brenda Gorski, a lawyer at Philadelphia’s pro-immigrant Nationalities Services Center. Instead of dying, he said, he was “reborn.” Because U visas are “derivative” – they include immediate family members – his wife, Beatriz, 27, mother of their two U.S.-born children, became a legal resident, too.

Congress created not only U visas, but also T visas, for victims of human trafficking.

The government defines that crime as enslavement, in which the trafficker uses fraud or coercion to recruit people for forced labor and, often, sexual exploitation.

Immigration experts differentiate between human trafficking and human smuggling. A smuggled person consents to being spirited over the border and goes free in America. But trafficked victims are bound to their traffickers, who ensure their dependency by taking their money and identification. They are forced to work at menial jobs, typically nail salons and massage parlors, and are under constant surveillance. If they try to escape, they are beaten or blackmailed.

“If victims come forward, there is the possibility of relief. We don’t want them to stand in the shadows anymore,” said Tony Bryson, director of U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) in Philadelphia, which recently held a daylong training about U and T visas for police and advocacy groups.

Up to 10,000 U visas may be issued annually, with no limit for immediate family members. The annual cap on T visas is 5,000, but fewer than 450 have ever been approved in a single year, because so few trafficking victims are willing to apply.

They fear reprisals not only against themselves; trafficking networks routinely make threats against family members still in the homeland.

As a result, the T-visa program is “woefully undersubscribed,” said Rose Hartmann, a federal immigration officer who attended the recent Philadelphia training.

Groups urging restrictions on illegal immigration, including the Federation for American Immigration Reform and the Center for Immigration Studies, contend that U and T visas make the immigration system too generous by handing out work permits at a time when the country lacks jobs for its citizens. And the lure of a green card, they say, can entice some immigrants to report bogus crimes.

Immigrant advocates say the number of green cards granted under the U and T programs is a mere fraction of the million cards issued annually. Immigrants who file false reports or commit perjury, they note, are subject to prosecution and deportation.

All applications are channeled to the USCIS service center in Burlington, Vt., where 73 adjudications officers and supervisors authenticate them. Supporting paperwork usually includes medical and police reports, as well as the law enforcement letter certifying cooperation.

A federal trial set for next month in Philadelphia holds the possibility of T visas for victims of trafficking.

The case involves five brothers from Ukraine, ages 35 to 51, known to prosecutors as “the Botsvynyuk boys.” Last summer, they were charged with forcing about 30 illegal immigrants to work as virtual slaves from 2000 to 2007 cleaning department stores and supermarkets in the Philadelphia area.

According to the indictment, the brothers promised the immigrants they would earn $500 a month, with free room and board. Instead, they slept five to a room on dirty mattresses, worked for little or nothing, were told they had to pay off transportation costs of $10,000 to $50,000. They were beaten, and a female victim repeatedly raped.

Violence was threatened against family still living in Ukraine, the indictment said. For instance, one brother said he would place a worker’s 9-year-old daughter into prostitution to pay off the family debt.

Patty Hartman, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia, said the immigrant workers have remained in Philadelphia and might be called to testify at trial. Their cooperation could make them eligible for T visas.

As part of a T-visa awareness campaign launched last month, the federal government produced two provocative one-minute public service videos about sexual slavery and forced labor.

The videos, airing nationally in Spanish and English markets, encourage viewers to report suspicious activity in the hope, said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deputy Director Kumar Kibble, of reaching “victims who have endured so much pain.”

What the World Is Doing To Prevent Human Trafficking and Slavery

Human trafficking and slave labor is a $32 billion underground industry, according to a CNBC documentary. There is, however, something being done to prevent that saddest of industries. Both California and the EU passed laws to prevent human trafficking during the last two years. Then California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the California Supply Chain Transparency Act into law on September 30, 2010. The Act, which goes into effect on January 1, 2012, requires retailers and manufacturers in California to disclose their efforts to stop human trafficking and slave labor from their direct supply chains. The law affects retailers or manufacturers with over $100 million in annual worldwide gross receipts.

The Act created an Interagency Task Force to monitor and combat trafficking. In addition, the Act requires the California Franchise Tax Board to make available a list of retailers and sellers to the State Attorney General required to disclose efforts to stop slavery and human trafficking.

EU directive to prevent human trafficking and slavery

The EU adopted a directive to prevent and combat human trafficking and protect victims in April 2011. Cecilia Malmstrom, Commissioner for Home Affairs, called the passage of the directive “a very important step towards a comprehensive and more effective European anti-trafficking policy.”

Malmstrom added, “The new ambitious rules adopted today will keep the EU at the forefront of the international fight against human trafficking by protecting the victims and punishing the criminals behind this modern slavery.”

UN Human Rights Council issues updated Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights

The UN Human Rights Council issued an updated version in June of the Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights. The updated Guiding Principles provides a global standard for preventing and addressing the risk of impacts on human rights linked to business activity, according to a press release.

“The Council’s endorsement establishes the Guiding Principles as the authoritative global reference point for business and human rights,” said John Ruggie, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Business and Human Rights. “They will also provide civil society, investors and others the tools to measure real progress in the daily lives of people.”

Ruggie, a professor at Harvard University, spent six years doing research for the Guiding Principles

My Word by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio: Let’s put an end to modern-day slavery

By Marco Rubio
12:00 a.m. EDT, August 16, 2011

Even as America grapples with a struggling economy and growing debt, we must not lose sight of our responsibility to protect and be a voice for the powerless.

Too many of our fellow humans are being exploited as part of the trafficking trade, a cruel form of modern-day slavery. Some are men, but most are women and children being abused and robbed of their dignity.

While the recent U.S. State Department’s “Annual Trafficking in Persons Report” highlighted how pervasive this practice is worldwide, many of these victims are also in our own communities, as about 17,000 new victims are trafficked in the U.S. annually.

In Florida, Miami, Orlando and Tampa have become main transit points. Just last month, 12 Floridians were accused of sex trafficking after two 15-year old girls from Highlands County ran away to Orlando, met a couple of men who drugged and raped them. Other men also raped the victims. One of them was then forced into prostitution in Miami.

Fortunately, victims have many key allies. Today in Orlando, a committed group of Florida-based and national activists is convening the 8th National and International Preventing Abuse Conference, which is raising awareness about this human tragedy and developing innovative ways to combat it. Groups like the Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking are doing commendable work that exemplifies our calling to help victims of such unspeakable atrocities.

At the federal level, a groundbreaking human-trafficking law enacted in 2000 was the first slavery-related legislation passed since the Civil War ended. Among other goals, it required the State Department to evaluate countries on efforts to fight this problem and highlight needed improvements. This law now needs to be re-authorized before it expires at year’s end.

I am co-sponsoring the bipartisan Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, which would build on the earlier version and enhance our capabilities to support law enforcement, assist victims and maximize government resources to combat this horrendous crime at home and abroad.

We are a compassionate nation, which understands that our most fundamental freedoms are universal rights. Our words must make this unmistakably clear, but our deeds must back them up. Our laws must be updated to protect victims and improve government’s ability to combat modern-day slavery. We must continue raising awareness to enlist support to stop this abuse.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida was elected in 2010.
