When I first heard this lucrative and criminal scam of certain Indian tribe offering citizenship to undocumented Mexicans for 500$...right away I yelled SCAM, SCAM!
I was right.

HARLINGEN, Texas — The attorney general of Texas has added the state to complaints that an Indian tribe sold memberships to illegal immigrants in a fraudulent scheme that promised protection from U.S. immigration laws.
In a lawsuit filed Monday against the federally unrecognized Kaweah Indian Nation Inc. of Wichita, Kan., Attorney General Greg Abbott's office accused the group of taking as much as $400 each from an unknown number of immigrants for the guarantee of a Social Security number and a "Certificate of Citizenship" card that supposedly would bring protection from deportation proceedings.
The tribe told immigrants the card also would be good for U.S. citizenship if the Kaweah nation gained federal recognition, Abbott said. The lawsuit seeks to stop what he alleges to be misleading recruitment and calls for a fine of up to $20,000 for each violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
"In reality, the card is legally ineffective and does not alter the purchaser's immigration status," Abbott said.
