Feds halt new citizenship approvals after Obama admin’s gaffe on background checks
Washington Times ^ | December 2, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

The government suspended naturalization ceremonies and banned officers from approving any new applications for citizenship earlier this week after realizing its background check system was broken and ineligible people may have been slipping through, a key congressman revealed Friday.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, whose office was tipped off to the monumental error, said he was stunned by the problem — and also by the fact that the administration never bothered to inform him of it.

...

At this point we are not confident that proper FBI Name Checks have been run on certain ELIS cases. At this point we are uncertain of the scope of the problem,” Daniel M. Renaud, the associate director..

FBI name checks are a critical part of the application process, giving immigration officers a look at potential criminal histories or other national security red flags that would make someone ineligible for citizenship.

Mr. Goodlatte demanded USCIS detail when it discovered the problem and how many cases were affected, and said the agency should take steps to strip citizenship from anyone who shouldn’t have been approved.

I presume by ‘broken’ they mean “no paperwork to find, back-track and then deport”.

Cut off the gravy train of illegality (welfare and the like) and the ‘problem’ solves itself 90% (actually, multiple birds w/ one stone).

So it is safe to assume we have been infiltrated by hundreds of ISIS operatives and Iranian sleepers. So what are you doing about finding these terrorists Obama and the Progresso’s let in ?

They did NOT just notice this now. A new sheriff is coming to town! This is bit-time CYA.

Yet another Trump win, and he is still six weeks away from inauguration!

I would use this to revoke millions of persons of their citizenship.

Trump hits the “Reset” button!

And that is only an audit—not but a tiny fraction of the whole.

We need to request an audit of the unaccompanied “minor” “children”. One, to verify their origin. Two, to verify their destination - did all children end up with family, still being held, “disappeared” after atending “pizza” party, etc.

So far, getting “Nothing to see here” from sources.
