    800-plus 'Accidental' Citizens? Expert Doesn't Believe It (Alipac)

    It was a single word in Monday’s reports about how the federal government had given citizenship to 858 illegal immigrants from various countries that cause concern over national security – or “with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending deportation orders,” that caught the attention of William Gheen, of the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC.


    It was the word that the government “mistakenly” took the action.

    As in AP’s report that, “The U.S. government has mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants…”

    “The main issue was the claim in the article, the assumption that this was accidental,” Gheen told WND on Monday. “Don’t believe this is accidental. There’s no reason we should believe any of this is accidental. They are intentionally letting people in this country who are dangerous.”

    The AP said the action was found by the Homeland Security Department’s inspector general. That report explained the immigrants used “different names or brithdates” to apply for citizenship with the federal Citizenship and Immigration Services.


    The discrepancies simply weren’t caught because the applicants’ fingerprints were missing from databases.
    Inspector General John Roth’s auditors told the agency they were from “special interest countries,” which include those that raise national security concerns in the United States. Or from nearby countries with common immigration fraud.


    Neither the individuals nor the countries involved were identified.

    Roth’s report said “fingerprints are missing from federal databases for as many as 315,000 immigrants with final deportation orders or who are fugitive criminals. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not reviewed about 148,000 of those immigrants’ files to add fingerprints to the digital record.”


    It’s apparently because Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is supposed to find and deport illegal aliens, didn’t add the fingerprint records in a timely way.
    The report said two criminal cases were launched because of the mishandling of the information, but prosecutors would not even take another 26 cases.

    But the report raised the specter that a number of the people “have acquired security clearances, jobs of public trust or other security credentials.”

    AP said, “At least three of the immigrants-turned-citizens were able to acquire aviation or transportation worker credentials, granting them access to secure areas in airports or maritime facilities and vessels. Their credentials were revoked after they were identified as having been granted citizenship improperly, Roth said in his report.”


    One of the individuals even has become a law enforcement officer.


    Gheen, whose organization has been integral to the dissemination of information about the dangers of amnesty for illegal aliens, and opposes that through advocacy for secure borders, employer crackdowns, removing incentives for being illegal and enforcement of existing laws, said Washington’s establishment, in both parties, is responsible for the problem.


    “Obama has been providing almost direct access through illegal immigration,” he said, “and Muslim refugee resettlement programs.”


    The problem is that citizenship is a ticket to voting, along with the federal government’s determined war against any type of voter verification procedure.

    “Our enemies are allowed to walk freely among us,” he said. “They can choose the time of their attack at leisure.”



    Gheen said he was stunned by the eagerness of the article to “spin the situation.”

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    More than 800 immigrants from ‘special interest countries’ mistakenly granted American citizenship

    Alicia Caldwell, Associated Press 10 hours ago


    The American government has mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants from countries of concern to national security or with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending deportation orders, according to an internal Homeland Security audit.

    The Homeland Security Department's inspector general found that the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with US Citizenship and Immigration Services and such discrepancies weren't caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases

    DHS said in an emailed statement that an initial review of these cases suggest that some of the individuals may have ultimately qualified for citizenship, and that the lack of digital fingerprint records does not necessarily mean they committed fraud.

    The report does not identify any of the immigrants by name, but Inspector General John Roth's auditors said they were all from “special interest countries” — those that present a national security concern for the United States — or neighbouring countries with high rates of immigration fraud. The report did not identify those countries.

    DHS said the findings reflect what has long been a problem for immigration officials — old paper-based records containing fingerprint information that can't be searched electronically. DHS says immigration officials are in the process of uploading these files and that officials will review “every file” identified as a case of possible fraud.

    Mr Roth's report, published on Monday, said fingerprints were missing from federal databases for as many as 315,000 immigrants with final deportation orders or who were fugitive criminals. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not reviewed about 148,000 of those immigrants' files to add fingerprints to the digital record.

    The gap was created because older, paper records were never added to fingerprint databases created by both the now-defunct Immigration and Naturalisation Service and the FBI in the 1990s. ICE, the DHS agency responsible for finding and deporting immigrants living in the country illegally, didn't consistently add digital fingerprint records of immigrants whom agents encountered until 2010.

    The government has known about the information gap and its impact on naturalisation decisions since at least 2008 when a Customs and Border Protection official identified 206 immigrants who used a different name or other biographical information to gain citizenship or other immigration benefits, though few cases have been investigated.

    Roth's report said federal prosecutors have accepted two criminal cases that led to the immigrants being stripped of their citizenship. But prosecutors declined another 26 cases. ICE is investigating 32 other cases after closing 90 investigations.

    ICE officials told auditors that the agency hadn't pursued many of these cases in the past because federal prosecutors “generally did not accept immigration benefits fraud cases.” ICE said the Justice Department has now agreed to focus on cases involving people who have acquired security clearances, jobs of public trust or other security credentials.

    Several members of Congress criticised the Obama administration Monday in the wake of Mr Roth's report, though the report suggests that the gaps extend several years earlier than the Obama administration.

    Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Michael McCaul said
    ICE should quickly investigate all of the cases at issue and ensure that all immigration fingerprint records are digitised in short order.

    Mistakenly awarding citizenship to someone ordered deported can have serious consequences because American citizens can typically apply for and receive security clearances or take security-sensitive jobs.

    At least three of the immigrants-turned-citizens were able to acquire aviation or transportation worker credentials, granting them access to secure areas in airports or maritime facilities and vessels. Their credentials were revoked after they were identified as having been granted citizenship improperly, Mr Roth said in his report.

    A fourth person is now a law enforcement officer.

    Mr Roth recommended that all of the outstanding cases be reviewed and fingerprints in those cases be added to the government's database and that immigration enforcement officials create a system to evaluate each of the cases of immigrants who were improperly granted citizenship. DHS officials agreed with the recommendations and said the agency is working to implement the changes.
