In a devastating report released today, the GAO charges the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) - this is the agency under the Department of Homeland Security that would be in charge of proposed Guest Worker Amnesty - with a failed organizational infrastructure and massive mismanagement and corruption.
Okay. Now this does not compute. What are they going to do if amnesty is passed, in some form? Ship the illegal immigrants back, due to mismanagement and corruption?
Plus, it stands to reason, if the USA is a good country to be in (I think it is), that there would be graft and corruption involved in "conveniently overlooking" those who are here without the necessary legal prerequisites. Nobody should be surprized at corruption in ANY program - more or less depending on the stakes and ease of getting around the law.
It's been a very expensive lesson, eh? Closed hospitals, crowded schools, high taxes, and over burdened infrastructure not enough for you? Meanwhile, people are getting rich off this.
You are right that illegals desire to come in leads to corruption.
What most people don't understand is illegal entry into our country is organized crime. Many illegals pay the coyote that smuggles them in by smuggling drugs. Then there is a well organized false document and identity theft business. Then we have federal and state income tax evasion on the part of many illegals and payroll tax avoidance on the part of the employers. As if that is not enough we also have illegals who use false documents to access social programs.
This organized crime network centered around illegal immigration depends on bribery and corruption of officials in this country to ensure their crimes are not discovered, or prosecuted. Massive amounts of money are made from illegal immigration, yet the illegal alien who is at the root of all this is little more than a slave.
