OTOH-—public servants ACCEPTING falsified apps are also subject to LEGAL PENALTIES.
That’s called “PENCIL WHIPPING” .... a public employee accepting or passing on a falsified documents as truthful-—without doing the evidentiary documentation.
There is no doubt that ‘navigators’ or whatever they’re called, are encouraging people to falsify their applications in various ways and enabling them to do so.
Corruption is rampant ... it’s everywhere, in everything. At some point (and I’m pretty much thinking we’re “there” already), the ‘rot’ will be so extensive that salvage will be impossible.
