Giving visas to "crime victims" is an invitation to fraud. Mexicans will cheat the hated gringos any way they can. They see nothing wrong with it.
San Rafael woman accused of staging robbery against herself to obtain visa - Marin Independent Journal

A San Rafael woman was arrested on allegations she staged an armed robbery against herself so she could get a crime victim's visa to stay in the country.
Josselin Yuliana Rodas, 29, was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud, child endangerment and filing a false police report. Her bail was set at $75,000.
San Rafael police are also seeking charges against the teenager who allegedly robbed Rodas at her request. The juvenile, who has since left the country, is a relative of Rodas, said San Rafael police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher.
Investigators learned that Rodas had received a notice from immigration authorities that she would have to leave the United States by a certain date.
Police suspect that Rodas and the teenage relative conspired to stage the robbery so Rodas could obtain a so-called "U visa." The U visa allows victims of certain violent crimes, and their family members, to remain in the country while they help authorities secure a conviction against the perpetrator.
