Footnote Reveals DHS Actually Gave Citizenship To 1,800 Illegals

The real number of people who got citizenship instead of deportation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is more than double what the media initially reported, a footnote in the report reveals.

More than 1,800 people who were supposed to be deported were mistakenly granted citizenship, the footnote discovered by CNN’s Jake Tapper in the DHS Inspector General report shows. That’s more than double the 858 number initially reported by the media.

The report focuses on the use of digital fingerprinting by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which may explain why the 1,800 number was buried. The IG report found 858 people were granted citizenship under a fake identity that was not discovered, in part because their digital fingerprints were not available. The other 953 people mentioned in the footnote were not included in that figure, because the IG couldn’t determine whether the mixup was specifically related to fingerprint records.

The footnote increases the number of people who should have been deported from 858 to 1,811. All of those individuals are from “special interest countries,” which U.S. officials are specially concerned about in terms of national security.

This can be UNDONE just as quickly as a passport can be REVOKED.

Meanwhile, the Republican-controlled Congress sits idly by, hoping that their inaction on this goes unnoticed.

“DHS Actually Gave Citizenship To 1,800 Illegals”

First, the media said it was only 800 illegals and that it was a “mistake”.

The new line is that it is over 1800.

The real number is probably many times higher, probably over 100,000.

And it was never a “mistake”.

But no one should ever expect the media to tell the truth.

I wish you were right but only a federal court can reverse a naturalization. DHS can not do it administratively.

BTW the entire fingerprint excuse does not wash if you know how the process works.

Yesterday the number was 800.
Today it is 1800.
Will it reach 50,000 on Friday?

The only mistake was a failure to impeach Obama.

How many more priors have gone uncaught and unreported?
A few? Dozens? Hundreds?
0bummer’s leftist-commie-socialist-fascist bureaucrats are busy at work.

I’m going to dispute your claim on the basis that the ‘naturalization’ was not legitimately acquired. It’s illegitimate the moment it was granted. Not much standing on behalf of these faux ‘citizens’.

I hope Rachel is unmarried.
That gives her a chance to
dump her ridiculous last name.
