Watchdog: Feds wrongly granted citizenship to hundreds facing deportation | Fox News
More than 800 illegal immigrants from countries of concern who were set for deportation were mistakenly granted U.S. citizenship because the Department of Homeland Security didn’t have their fingerprints on file, according to an internal audit released Monday.

The Homeland Security Department’s inspector general found the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration. In the case of 858 immigrants from "special interest countries or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud," the discrepancies weren’t caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases...

I guess they are going to say we can't revoke this mistake. Common sense will not be tolerated in any shape or form.

Top. Men.

Color me shocked.

Any entity in the private sector would be terminated if it performed and behaved with anything approaching the degree of incompetence and disregard for its contract as does the federal government.

instead, we not only tolerate it but expand it.

Anybody want to guess how these mistakenly minted citizens will vote?

 

[bwframe]

They will vote the same as those flowing across our southern border.

We should go find us a Country. Then create a constitution we we are all equal ect. Then create about 80% of all modern invetions and make it the richest country in the world.
Then give it away!

 

[Birds Away]

Yes, I'm certain it was just a mistake.

That would ordinarily apply, but when it becomes a pattern so much to the point that it barely raises an eyebrow, then that principle inverts; and we're all long past that threshold.

of course you can trust the government, they are professionals who do what is best for you........

Well, he could order INS and ICS to stand down, but he hasn't done that. He could pardon (or commute the sentence) of EVERY convict, but he hasn't done that. He could order every ship in the Navy back to their home port, but he hasn't done that.

Just wondering: did "he" grant them citizenship on his own initiative, with no oversight or action by any other agency? Is that how it works?

Lol, that terrorist was such a good guy. He didn't shoot everyone in the mall like he could have. What a saint.

After the last 7 yrs. of this bumbling administration, nothing surprises me.

Translation: Well, the Community Organizer-in-Chief could have done more damage than he has already done, so this is no big deal.

Associating the words "Fed" and "wrongly" is redundant! And, "high rates of immigration fraud" defines the current administration.

So many areas of government have become so corrupt it isn't worth preserving.

Assuming every one of the 850 votes Dem, how much of an impact do you think that will have on the election? The winner will get something like 65 million popular votes. DHS and INS would have to let several million in and get them registered to vote, and there's no guarantee they'd vote Dem.

But hey, 850/65M is a full 0.0013%! Can't just let that go by unchallenged!!
