WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government has mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants who had pending deportation orders from countries of concern to national security or with high rates of immigration fraud, according to an internal Homeland Security audit released Monday.
The Homeland Security Department's inspector general found that the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and such discrepancies weren't caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases.
The report does not identify any of the immigrants by name, but Inspector General John Roth's auditors said they were all from "special interest countries" — those that present a national security concern for the United States — or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud. The report did not identify those countries.
In an emailed statement, the Department of Homeland Security said the findings reflect what has long been a problem for immigration officials — old paper-based records containing fingerprint information that can't be searched electronically. DHS says immigration officials are in the process of uploading these files and that officials will review "every file" identified as a case of possible fraud.
DHS officials identified an additional 953 people who had been naturalized despite outstanding deportation orders, though auditors couldn't determine if those immigrants had digital fingerprints on file or not.
Roth's report said fingerprints are missing from federal databases for as many as 315,000 immigrants with final deportation orders or who are fugitive criminals. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not reviewed about 148,000 of those immigrants' files to add fingerprints to the digital record.
The gap was created because older, paper records were never added to fingerprint databases created by both the now-defunct Immigration and Naturalization Service and the FBI in the 1990s. ICE, the DHS

That can be reversed, can’t it?
Mistake my posterior.
DITTO
lemme guess, they all live in VA or OH, or FL...
Probably all at the same street address.
That’s 800 votes for Hillary. See how easy that was.
Definitely NO mistake. This was planned and executed.
A mistake? Not buying what they are selling.

That's at least 858 votes for Hillary. And that's assuming they only vote once each. Doubtful!
Hillary owed KAHN a favor. His law firm gets them ready, pays Illary some cash (via the Clinton Foundation) and presto mistake are made.
In granting citizenship to those who had pending deportation cases, those (yet unnamed) government officials gave aid and comfort to the enemy.
That’s my take too
All of this is intentional by the traitors in our “leadership”. Pathetic. This probably isn’t going to end well for many.
The Trump Tsunami on November 8 will undo all that.
PING!!!

President Trump needs to investigate every illegal granted citizenship by the usurper, and he needs to revoke the citizenship of anyone who committed fraud on the application - and then deport them.
