Backlog of citizenship applications a hurdle to would-be immigrant voters

Mired somewhere in the backlog of U.S. citizenship applications are the forms that Martin Okpareke filed more than four years ago.

Since then, the Kansas Citian from Nigeria has seen his wife and friends apply and be sworn in. Two sons, both U.S. citizens, have gone from crawling to toddling to sprinting through the house.

For Okpareke, 41, a crucial hour is closing in.

“I want to vote. I need to vote. That is my angst,â€

I see some problems with this HURRY UP PRACTICE

Federal officials say they’re racing against the clock to unclog the system in time for newly-minted Americans to join the voting rolls.

Welcome to the United States of America! If you do not like something FILE SUIT AGAINST THEM!

A federal law requires the government to process citizenship forms within 120 days of an applicant’s interview.
In June about three dozen Muslim immigrants in Missouri sued FBI Director Robert Mueller, among others, for slow background checks. The lawsuit asks a federal judge to enforce the 120-day rule.

A similar suit in New York, calling for action before Election Day, was dismissed this month by a federal judge who said he couldn’t compel the FBI to hurry up the process at the risk of national security

I hope A lot more AMERICAN CITIZENS GET OUT AND VOTE or we will find ourselves outnumbered and out voted or voted out

Just about every immigrant these days is a "person of color." This gives the radicals wanting to organize them into a solid bloc another advantage.

We are being assailed on all sides. Just last night at Circuit City there were three Chinese--all yakking away in their dialect. I have no idea whether they were legal or not since so many Chinese are sneaking in here, too.

Hey, I've got an idea! Let's give amnesty to 20 million illegals and see how REALLY backed up this agency can get.

Maybe we are giving to many people citizenship each year, is there no limit anymore?

Of course not....they have no limit on anything anymore, just process as many as possible and don't fret over, over populating our country....what a bunch of idiots.
