Scammer Deportations From The U.S.
Do we want the global scamming cartels setting up shop permanently in the United States as they are in Europe, Asia, and Latin America?
In the War in Scams both the United States Border Patrol and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) are on the front lines every day, preventing scammers from entering the United States and removing them when found.
In 2017 alone ICE deported more than 12,398 Scammers from the U.S. back to their country of origin.
While it might seem that we want to arrest them here in the U.S., it is the taxpayers that would then pick up the bill for each scammer for a decade or more. Better to solve the problem in their country of origin – which we are all working on.
Yet as good as this is, we now have a real battle in the United States with leftist politicians who want to abolish I.C.E. for doing their jobs and upholding the law. You see this every day now in the media. Yet what is their alternative? Open borders everywhere, where major criminal cartels can establish themselves freely anywhere?
Make no mistake, the next elections this year (2018) are going to be a watershed moment between the forces to law & order (and protecting us all) vs. the forces of anything goes – any crime is ok, as long as they vote for the right party.
For the last 24 years, we have had leftist politics dominate the agenda of American Politics, just like in Europe. However, as we have seen in Europe the model is so broken that God only knows if it can be fixed before total collapse sets in.
Do we want that for the United States?
Do we want a country (and in fact a world) where Facebook asks how much child pornography is too much? (which they just did!) Where real people are penalized in favor of fake scammers? When blowing the whistle on a crisis makes you a hater? That is exactly what we have right now.
The single most important question you have to ask yourself this year is if you want a world where the rules exist for the fairness of ALL, not just a political constituency.
The Society of Citizens Against Romance Scams [SCARS] supports Law & Order candidates and parties, for without that this War on Scams is already over and we lost!
This is the official position of SCARS.

A Note About Labeling!
We often use the term ‘scam victim’ in our articles, but this is a convenience to help those searching for information in search engines like Google. It is just a convenience and has no deeper meaning. If you have come through such an experience, YOU are a Survivor! It was not your fault. You are not alone! Axios!
A Question of Trust
At the SCARS Institute, we invite you to do your own research on the topics we speak about and publish, Our team investigates the subject being discussed, especially when it comes to understanding the scam victims-survivors experience. You can do Google searches but in many cases, you will have to wade through scientific papers and studies. However, remember that biases and perspectives matter and influence the outcome. Regardless, we encourage you to explore these topics as thoroughly as you can for your own awareness.
Statement About Victim Blaming
SCARS Institute articles examine different aspects of the scam victim experience, as well as those who may have been secondary victims. This work focuses on understanding victimization through the science of victimology, including common psychological and behavioral responses. The purpose is to help victims and survivors understand why these crimes occurred, reduce shame and self-blame, strengthen recovery programs and victim opportunities, and lower the risk of future victimization.
At times, these discussions may sound uncomfortable, overwhelming, or may be mistaken for blame. They are not. Scam victims are never blamed. Our goal is to explain the mechanisms of deception and the human responses that scammers exploit, and the processes that occur after the scam ends, so victims can better understand what happened to them and why it felt convincing at the time, and what the path looks like going forward.
Articles that address the psychology, neurology, physiology, and other characteristics of scams and the victim experience recognize that all people share cognitive and emotional traits that can be manipulated under the right conditions. These characteristics are not flaws. They are normal human functions that criminals deliberately exploit. Victims typically have little awareness of these mechanisms while a scam is unfolding and a very limited ability to control them. Awareness often comes only after the harm has occurred.
By explaining these processes, these articles help victims make sense of their experiences, understand common post-scam reactions, and identify ways to protect themselves moving forward. This knowledge supports recovery by replacing confusion and self-blame with clarity, context, and self-compassion.
