While it took a “Freedom of Information Act” filing to learn that the Department of Homeland Security has ceased doing background checks on illegal aliens applying for “special status” under President Obama's “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” Executive Order, Secretary Janet Napolitano says “it's no big deal.”
“Truthfully speaking, there just isn't enough time for us to check the thousands of applications we have received,” Napolitano admitted. “With all the other stuff on our plate we had to figure out what to let slip through the cracks. It was our assessment that screening immigrants for criminal records was something we could afford to let go.”
The number of background checks foregone is bound to increase if the immigration reform bill making its way through Congress passes. The bill would put an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants on the path to citizenship. The prospect that there may be criminals among them didn't faze Napolitano.
“Our Statue of Liberty invites the 'wretched refuse' of the world to come to America,” Napolitano pointed out. “In my mind, the most wretched of refuse would be criminals. The fact is, a lot of the early settlers in America were criminals given the choice of being hanged in England or emigrating to America. Clearly, criminals played a role in building this country. So, the notion that we ought to screen them out kind of flies in the face of a long history of open borders.”

It’s only “semi.” Almost the truth.

BIG DUDE hasn’t made a straight statement to the american people since her appointment by THE FOREIGNER. THE REGIME’S IDEOLOGY is THEY NEVER MET A BORDER THEY LIKED. If you look close enough into their budget I would not be surprised if we are not paying to bus in the illegals.
Well, remember the Reagan amnesty?
There is a lot of crime during these amnesties.
A business pops up giving recent arrivals false paperwork from farms and elsewhere for a price claiming they had a past presence here.
This results in millions getting residency that were never offered it and you bet they often end up on all our social programs.
Guess in the end the satire is on us anyway.
Realize this is satire, but one suspects that the legalization that they seek must be attained before the mid-term elections, so the rush job may actually become a reality. It happened in 1995-96 in time for Clinton’s re-election. Over 180,000 new citizens were found to be ineligible based on background checks that were done after their naturalizations were granted. But at least they got to vote for Bl*wj*b Bill in ‘96.
This means NO TAXPAYER MONEY can line the pockets of Lawyers who sue because of a lack of proper background checks and Vetting of ANY individual covered by the Law.
Satire is supposed to not be true.
I beg to differ.
Satire is the REAL truth.
me neither...
semi satire gets me every time too...
