The New York Times has recently reported that the Obama administration overturned a ban preventing a moneyed, politically connected Ecuadorean woman from entering the United States after her family gave tens of thousands of dollars to corporate Democratic campaigns. This has recently been brought to light by finance records and US government officials.

Estefania Isaias was barred from coming to the United States after she was caught fraudulently obtaining visas for her maids. Then, shebang, the State Department under former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton interceded and wrote letters opposing the ban so that Ms. Isaias could work for an Obama fund-raiser with close ties to the administration (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/17/world/americas/ecuador-isaias-obama-campaign-robert-menendez-hillary-clinton.html?_r=0).

This is just one of many favorable decisions the Obama administration and corporate democrats like Hillary Clinton have made in the last few years involving the Isaias family.

The Isaias Brothers, criminal refugees from Ecuadorian Justice

As I wrote extensively for Dailycensored, the Isaias brothers have bought judicial and political protection from Obama and many other politicians after looting an Ecuadorian bank and fleeing to the US. The shady brothers were convicted in absentia by an Ecuadorian court for grand theft in 2000 and are now refugee criminals living in sunbaked Coral Gables, Florida.

The brothers fled Ecuador in 2000, going of course to the sunshine state, a hot bed of right wing extremism and corruption and it was there they began teaming their money in Miami with other shifty institutions and individuals.

According to Ecuadorian authorities, the Isaias' booty was and is stashed in U.S. banks, mostly in Miami, as well as in banks in various other countries ((http://www.dailycensored.com/robert-and-william-isaias-dassum-the-case-of-the-ecuadorian-banking-fugitives-that-live-and-invest-in-the-u-s/).

The brothers were accused and convicted by the government of Ecuador for presenting false balance sheets to profit from Ecuadorian government bailout funds. Ecuador claims the fraud cost the country $600 million (ibid).

As I reported at Dailycensored earlier this year, the Obama 2012 campaign received $90,000 of stolen swag from the Isaias brothers (http://www.dailycensored.com/the-brothers-grim-criminal-isaias-brothers-investigated-by-homeland-security-for-alleged-money-laundering-the-obama-2012-campaign-received-90000of-stolen-swag/).

Isaias Brothers' daughters aided by corporate democrats to avoid criminal prosecution

In the spring of 2011, Estefania Isaias, a television executive and the daughter of the criminal brothers found herself in a bind.

The New York Times reported this month that:

"Her father and uncle were Ecuadorean fugitives living in Miami, but she was barred from entering the United States after she brought maids into the country under false visa pretenses and left them at her parents' Miami home while she traveled" (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/17/world/americas/ecuador-isaias-obama-campaign-robert-menendez-hillary-clinton.html?_r=0).

American diplomats began enforcing the ban against Ms. Isaias for it was obvious Estefania Isaias was engaged in illegal human trafficking. She was furthering human smuggling in the USA by criminally bringing in domestic labor for her own use under the canopy of visa fraud.
