Open-borders corruptocrat nabbed
Update: Debbie Schlussel has the goods on LaShish and the corrupted Roy Bailey here and here. Given Schlussel’s reporting, Murphy doesn’t seem to merit what little praise I offered earlier today.
Why am I not surprised?

I wrote a chapter in Invasion about rotten immigration officials who sold out their country, took bribes from illegal aliens, aided smuggling rings, undermined our laws, and endangered our lives. The story never ends:
A top immigration official in Detroit has been indicted by a federal grand jury for accepting tens of thousands of dollars in bribes to release aliens who were supposed to be deported and facilitate other immigration frauds.
Part of the scam involved a fraud whereby LaShish Restaurants employees were able to stay in the country through fraudulent marriages to other LaShish employees, according to federal officials and a grand jury indictment unsealed today.
Talal Chahine, 52, owner of LaShish and already a fugitive on criminal tax charges believed to be living in Lebanon, is one of five defendants named in the indictment.
Roy M. Bailey, 54, of Romulus, who was assistant director for the Immigration and Naturalization Service field office in Detroit and director for detention and removal operations, is charged with accepting bribes, conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit extortion by a public official, conspiracy to defraud the federal government, failing to report a felony.
“Our office considers this to be an outright selling of one’s office,” said U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy. “These sorts of corruption matters are among the most serious that we take.”
Glad someone’s taking it seriously. The fake marriage scheme has been used by Middle Eastern aliens before…in order to help pave the way for jihad fund-raising operations.
This will make more than a few of my whistleblower sources snort out loud:
Murphy said the case is serious but he believes it is an isolated incident and he does not believe there is widespread corruption in the federal immigration service.

He’s about the only one that doesn’t believe it.
Does this constitute treason? Providing aid and comfort to the enemy? Anything? Or this a slap on the wrist 4th degree felony?
Well, well, well, it will be very interesting to find out some more about Mr. Roy M. Bailey, his background and the particulars of the case.
I do think the prosecutor, Mr.Stephen Murphy, has missed the point when he called this the sale of Mr. Bailey’s “office.” If the allegations are true it is actually the sale of his Country to the Enemy.
But, then again, Mr. Murphy may not, by his words, want to place this crime into the context of the worldwide Jihad. It might offend the Muslims.
I’m glad they caught this INS guy. Our immigration people need to be on the up and up or our laws are irrelevant.
As for the illegal marriages. . . how is offering someone citizenship through marriage different than offering amnesty for illegal immigrants for a fee?
As a single American in need of companionship, I have often thought of looking overseas to give an opportunity of citizenship through marriage to someone who would appreciate it. I think that should be my right as a citizen (arranged marriage or not).
hahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahha,
ROFL.
and I have 300 mint condition Honus Wagner baseball cards I’m selling for $1,000.00 each.
Definitely snort-worthy!
I am surprised not-a-bit that this happened in Detroit.
This was a Muslim infiltration team. DHS let this go on for years despite rumors and even articles by Debbie Schlussel. Of course the American public is the real enemy of Bush and Chertoff.
The only thing that is “isolated” about this is that it is the only one they have actually caught up with and pursued so far …

I would in the strongest terms suggest you read this article before you attempt such an endeavor.
That’s what you get when you put a Romulan in charge.

Interesting article
Hotair - you need to get on the ball. Debbie Schlussel was all over this story a couple hours ago http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2007/10/insices_roy_bai.html
Whoops - forgot which one I was on -
hotairMichelleTip of the iceberg me thinks.
Back (oh, so many years ago) when I was in college there were rampant rumors of foreign students looking for marraige to U.S. citizens. Later, I heard where a couple of the students married for $$, never lived with the new spouse, and quietly divorced when all the paperwork was done. Beats the heck out of donating blood or working pizza joints.
All the way to 10 before a Romulan joke?
One more story for the MSM to not cover and find the critics for any sourse who does. Don’t forget, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and almost all newspapers loath anything that supports a conservative position…you know Americans.
I was born and raised in Detroit and still live in Michigan. I spent 12 years living on the Dearborn/Detroit border (70s – 80s). Dearborn was a beautiful garden in the 1970s. It was a city with a quaint main street (Michigan Avenue) and tidy little houses. My oldest son and I used to go to the now infamous Hemlock Park when he was a child.
My brother lived on Military Street - just a stone’s throw from Dearborn’s border. He began complaining in the late 70s about the “Call to Prayer” waking him up in the wee hours of the morning…he left Michigan, gladly, several years ago.
Dearborn is unrecognizable today. It is as if you step over a line into a foreign country. You do not hear English spoken on the streets. The signs are in Arabic - the Polish and Irish restaurants gone. The Suni and Shia carry on their war here - burning mosques, rallying against each other. Other areas are falling victim to this, Sterling Heights, Taylor. My heart breaks.
I am an outsider in Dearborn, stared at and made to feel very, very uncomfortable. I no longer visit, despite the many happy memories.
I am not a bigot. I am all for legal immigration and assimilation.
This doesn’t surprise me. I trust no one on the immigration board. Our whole political society has been corrupted. Our culture is being sold to the highest bidder and our immigration officials are the first in line with their hands out. How else could this be happening?
Corrupt bureaucrat is redundant.
Right. And there’s no steroid use in professional sports either.
P.S. For sale, bridge, 1, in good condition. Please inquire within. Payments in cash only, small, unmarked bills, please.
Folks, we need to look at Michelle’s links here. The first one, “Invasion,” is really important. Once you get to the Amazon site, hover your mouse over the graphic of the book. A small pop-up will appear. Near the bottom of that pop-up, where it says, “Browse Sample Pages,” choose “Excerpt.” It will give you what looks like the entire 1st chapter.
READ IT!!!
What about Johnny Sutton? What is the status of their appeal or Bush Pardon for those border agents in Prison?
Comes from the top down, doesn’t it?
ThackerAgency,
By all means, it is your right under the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights to marry any spouse from anywhere as long as it is mutually consensual. However, if you are going to bring that person over here, do so on a 90-day fiancee visa. If you find that the relationship is incompatible during that period, you can always send the other person back and renew your search.
Furthermore, a foreign spouse would still have to go through the naturalization process same as any other legal immigrant to become a U.S. citizen.
Thank you comment guy. . . though I’ve been falsely accused by an American woman too. Fortunately I got that thrown out of court because I was innocent (of course the cops didn’t believe me).
Nonetheless, I was actually looking more overseas to Asian women (Thai, Phillipine, Indonesia). The girls at Thai Love Links.com absolutely LOVE me. I chat with them real time face to face every day. I get like 20 new girls interested in me each day. In America women won’t give me the time of day. I guess I’m just on the wrong side of the world.
I hadn’t thought about the 90 day test drive nbarry. I might like that idea better. Hey forever a bachelor! I can just trade one in every 90 days. . . sweet!
I’ll certainly have a prenuptual agreement in any event.
There must be more accomplices and other people that are aware of the corruption in Detroit alone, let alone around the country.
How deep is this IN DETROIT? Then we can start with the other cities. I’m sure this template is well used.
When exactly are we going to start to enforce the our borders? Is it going to take another 9/11 type incident where the terrorist(s) enter from Mexico and dirty bombs NYC or LA? When will Americans wake up to this threat?
Oh yeah, I forgot Britney just got her kids taken away from her, waaaayyyy more important!
If the bigshots like Bush, McCain, Durban, Giuliani, et.al., can get away with supporting illegal migration, I don’t see why the little guys should have to obey the law. Do we live in a democracy where everyone is subject to rule of law, or a unitary executiveship in which Washington politicians can break the law with impunity? The Republicans’ business cronies are raking in billions from the corruption of their buddies in Washington, and the Democrats are rewarded with the Hispanic vote for their corruption.
It’s just like Abu Graib where the little people following orders went to jail as scapegoats and those responsible at the top like Rumsfeld and Gonzales still walk free.
Hezbollah’s U.S. Attorney (not ours) Stephen Murphy III does not deserve your praise for “taking it seriously” on Roy Bailey and Hezbollah bribers. In fact, he (and, briefly, his predecessor) sat on this for FOUR years, while Roy Bailey collected $200K per year in pay and benefits while sitting at home. Murphy did this to allow the Hezbollah co-defendants who paid the bribes to flee the country. I’ve been screaming about Roy Bailey for some time, but again, Murphy did NOT “take it seriously” until his Hezbo buddies were safely out of the U.S. And FYI, Murphy has been praising Hezbollah at events I attended undercover at mosques, and he is a BUSH Federal Court of Appeals nominee who must be stopped. He’s dangerous . . . and in Hezbollah’s back pocket.
Thanks, Michelle, for noting about Stephen Murphy. You are a woman of valor and integrity, and I knew–once you knew the full picture–that you’d take note. He’s not our kinda guy.

Your best bet in Asia is the Philippines. Just about everyone there speaks English, so you can date a woman there as you would an American. Indeed, just about every store clerk there has a cousin or niece who would give her left toe to marry an American.
Kind of close to topic but saw this on Drudge this morning and thought it should be shared. It appears the tipping point is being reached. A US Veteran took matters into his own hands and corrected the following violation of federal law http://www.krnv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7156726 . The invasion of this country must be stopped and the business owner responsible for displaying the Mexican Flag over the US Flag should have his permit to operate a business in Reno revoked. He can move to Mexico and do business there if he thinks so highly of that country.
Good to see we finally caught one of the enablers of this invasion of our country many more to go.
USA has become the laughing stock of the world. North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, etc., are pursuing nuclear weapons technology and as far as Iran goes, are providing IEDs and other weapons that are killing our soldiers. While these dictators sit back and give a collective middle finger to the USA. We sit around and discuss which sanctions we are going to hit them with… These rogue countries have infiltrators in every branch of our government (IMHO). Not only do we not do anything to weed them out, adding insult to injury Bush is trying to appoint one to the Federal Court of Appeals…
9/11, countless thwarted terror attacks around the world, Achma-a-chimps-my-dad’s proposed visit to Ground Zero and visit to CU. What happens when we are attacked next? I pray we never find out.
For whatever it is worth Bush will be hearing from me on this one…
Thanks for the link Boomer, proud to see these Marine stand up for his country…sorry it has come to this.
I may have been an Air Force “fly boy,” but have great respect for the US Marines I have met. Was privileged to serve in a joint unit with some Marines and very glad they are on our side. You don’t want to every, be on the receiving end of a ticked off Marine. Salute!
I have nothing but respect and admiration for those who served, are serving and those coming in to fill the ranks. I currently have a cousin at West Point and his mother and father are in the Air Force. Needless to say they are proud of him.
Salute, indeed!
You would think, but sadly it is not anymore. Thanks to who? Who? A man-hating Dhimmicrat of course.
Forget it. Won’t work. After a few tries, the USCIS will catch on to your game and cut you off from further applications. Use your limited freedom carefully.
Forget that, too. Utterly worthless with a foreign spouse. She can simply cry to the family law judge “Me no speeky English. Him force me to sign paper me no understand. Said he will hit me if I don’t.” (T_T) Then the judge will take pity on the poor cute foreign lady and run your pre-nup through his paper shredder.
Or better yet, find a happily married bi-racial/national couple here. The wife always has a sister/cousin/friend who is looking for a stable husband, and she is less apt to fix you up with a visa shark.
U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy should be charged with aiding and abetting, malfeasance of office,and TREASON.
He is the poster boy for corruption and TREASON right up there with serpent head Chertoff and Julie Myers.
