Senators irked over missing immigration files

CAPITOL HILL Congressional investigators have found that the government has processed some 30-thousand citizenship applications even though thousands of background files used to determine eligibility were missing.

Republican Senators Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Susan Collins of Maine released details of the investigation by the Government Accountability Office today.

The G-A-O reports 110-thousand so-called alien files were missing from offices of Citizenship and Immigration Services, an arm of Homeland Security. The files contain applications and other documents from non-citizens.

Grassley and Collins say they requested the investigation after Homeland Security granted citizenship to a suspected terrorist four years ago, without checking the alien files.
