There Glen Stilo of Scientology is essentially asking the US Gubmint to just let anyone into the US that Scientology claims will be a religious worker. Funny thing about that is that Artur Solomonyan was allegedly one of those religious workers. He was arrested and convicted in New York of trying to sell weapons to an FBI informant.

Now I have essentially no proof of this, but I am wondering if Scientology sells religious worker visas to people who are otherwise having a hard time getting into the US? Mainly this wonder comes from Solomonyan. How did Scientology bring this guy into the country, then let him run around (apparently unsupervised) selling weapons? Seems pretty strange to me.

I spent 14 months incarcerated with Artur Solomonyan, at MDC, Brooklyn. I can assure you that he was a strong believer in Scientology, he even tried to convert me to it. He gave me a few books starting with the basics in belief. One thing i can say about the man, he was very smart, he knew how to convince people. During our stay together he told me stories of how all this started, he was set up by the informant, the informant even told him where to purchase the weapons here in the USA. He purchased the weapons from an undercover Agent and re-sold them to the informant in hopes of getting a green card. One thing I never understood was this man believed in Scientology, yet he still claimed to be a christian and he truly believed in the Trinity and that Jesus died for mans sins, he also believed that no man will enter paradise except through Jesus. So I guess that Scientology thing was just a front to get a visa to come to America.
