According to Breitbart, as early as 2017, the U visa program saw exponentially expanding numbers of applicants, and despite the supposed yearly cap on applications, it helped over 140,000 illegal aliens obtain pathways to citizenship.

As reported by Fox 7 Austin and Breitbart, at the behest of Sally Hernandez, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office used residences’ taxes to provide pamphlets about U visa benifits to all illegal aliens that come into contact with law enforcement to counteract SB4, the anti sanctuary city law.
