Schippers: Gore pressured INS to win in '96Says project turned criminals into citizens

My staff and I agreed that we needed to focus on the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), which appeared to be running out of control.

By the time we came to the subject, investigation by the General Accounting Office (GAO) and congressional committees had already indicated that the White House used the INS to further its political agenda. A blatant politicization of the agency took place during the 1996 presidential campaign when the White House pressured the INS into expediting its "Citizenship USA" (CUSA) program to grant citizenship to thousands of aliens that the White House counted as likely Democratic voters. To ensure maximum impact, the INS concentrated on aliens in key states -- California, Florida, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Texas -- that hold a combined 181 electoral votes, just 89 short of the total needed to win the election.

The program was placed under the direction of Vice President Al Gore. We received from the GAO a few e-mails indicating Vice President Gore's role in the plan. He was responsible for keeping the pressure on, to make sure the aliens were pushed through by September 1, the last day to register for the presidential election.

Yet another story we would never hear about if not for the new media. Remember that when the scumbag rat tries to kill talk radio.

This goes back more than a decade, but is still relevant now. We continue to feel the after-effects of this. And if Hillary Clinton is elected President, look for more of the same.

Documents show that President Clinton asked Doug Farbrother of the National Performance Review (NPR) staff to look into removing barriers to citizenship not only in Los Angeles but also in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Miami -- major cities in four swing states. In a memo to the President, Farbrother noted Commissioner Meissner's concern and suggested two options. Farbrother stated that "we can reduce -- but not eliminate -- the risk of controversy over our motives by appointing one of our proven NPR reinventors as Deputy INS Commissioner. ... As part of the official INS management team, our reinventor would have more direct influence and the INS staff would be less likely to go public with complaints than they would over the interference of an outsider." The memo observed that "reinventors" should be put in many other agencies, as well, to replace leaders who "don't get it."

The Dems continue to create ways to get more suspect, likely illegal, votes. It always takes us an election cycle to catch up. We have to stay on top of this before we lose another election due to Dem cheating.

And you can bet your bippy Hillary was right in the middle of it -- if not the chief instigator. Just what we need for president.

***PUKE***

That is not all they did. They also delayed the process for people that would likely vote republican.

ALgore is too stupid to think of this.

I beg your pardon.

Al Gore gave us to of the biggest inventions of our lifetime: the internet and "global warming". It takes a genius to be so capable.



But, on topic, turning illegal citizens, especially those with criminal records, into citizens for the sole purpose of influencing an election, a criminal matter which warrants a government investigation, even if these many years later? Or, will that crime just be lumped in with the many crimes that Clinton-Clinton-Gore were able to get away with?

Which reminds me, shouldn't there also have been a major government investigation on the attempt by Gore to steal the 2000 election? If they were capable of pulling that 1996 INS "crime", they were almost as capable of pulling the biggest crime of all in 2000.
