We’re the party of change,” Emanuel tells me. “We’re the party of a new direction — a break from rampant cronyism and the status quo. Period.”
Lmao get out of here with that BS. He’s the first one the repubs need to dirty.
July 2000 Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General report entitled “An Investigation of the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s Citizenship USA Initiative.”
The report was an indictment not only of Clinton White House interference in the Immigration and Naturalization process, but also of White House interference in the INS’s Citizenship USA (CUSA) initiative of 1996.
According to the report, “Director of Special Projects Rahm Emanuel often attended these meetings. According to witnesses at INS and the Department of Justice, Emanuel was increasingly responsible at the White House for issues involving the Department of Justice.” The report added that Emanuel’s interest in DOJ was “enforcement” issues.
“This report lays out in stark details exactly what Emanuel and the rest of the Democrats are trying to do with immigration reform, and President Bush and Sen. John McCain are playing right into their hands,” says a Republican House member, who does not support the President’s position. “People should read this report and understand exactly what this fight is all about.”

The 684-page INS inspector general report was released with little fanfare during a congressional hearing in September. Its most stunning allegation — that the Clinton-Gore White House had hijacked the INS for partisan political purposes in what amounted to massive voter fraud — never emerged as a campaign issue until after election day, when it became evident that Al Gore owed his near-victory in Florida to hundreds of thousands of newly-minted citizens in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
According to the IG report, many of those new voters should never have been granted citizenship.
Some were convicted felons. Others had overstayed tourist visas and were working illegally. Close to 200,000 never underwent any background check, so INS does not know to this day whether they were eligible for citizenship. Few passed an English language and citizenship test worthy of the name. Some could not understand their own swearing-in, because the ceremony was conducted in English.
In presenting his report before Lamar Smith’s subcommittee on Sept. 7, Deputy Inspector General Robert L. Ashbaugh noted that repeated requests for interviews to the vice president’s office had been denied. Similarly, top presidential advisers Harold Ickes and Rahm Emanuel — identified as having played key roles in hijacking the INS for political purposes — refused to answer questions.
