    More than 800 immigrants mistakenly granted citizenship

    September 20, 2016



    The U.S. government has mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants from countries of concern to national security or with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending deportation orders, 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.

    DHS Mistakenly Gave Citizenship to 858 Immigrants

    The Department of Homeland Security mistakenly granted U.S. citizenship to 858 immigrants who were supposed to be deported, according to an internal audit. The immigrants were found to have used different names or dates of birth—items that were not noticed because their fingerprints were not in a government database, because they were still on paper files and not part of a computer check. The individuals came from countries that pose a national-security risk to the U.S., or those which are routine hotbeds of immigration fraud, the auditor reported. Officials don’t believe the flap is part of a larger problem within the government. An additional 953 people who were scheduled to be deported were also mistakenly naturalized, according to the inspector general’s report.

    So we need more data bases on people?

    (noting that government grew considerably under Reagan).

    Email shows feds are racing to give citizenship to as many immigrants as possible BEFORE the election – and paying workers overtime to do it

    By Geoff Earle, Deputy U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com

    An internal Obama administration memo reveals a push by an immigration field office to swear in as many new citizens as possible because of election year concerns.

    An explosive memo from a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office head last summer urges an all-hands-on deck approach 'due to the election year.'

    To keep the new citizens – and potential new voters – moving through the line, an unnamed government official was encouraged 'to take advantage of the OT if you can,' meaning overtime, in order to get processing done using overtime hours.

    'It's the end of the year crunch time, so let's get crunchy!' wrote one official in the emails, which were obtained by Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson and reported by Fox News.

    According to one memo involving a Houston immigration office obtained by Johnson, 'The Field Office due to the election year needs to process as many of their N-400 cases as possible between now and FY 2016.

    Johnson chairs the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

    The urgency of the memos belie the usual reputations for government inefficiency.

    'If you have cases in this category or other pending, you are encouraged to take advantage of the OT if you can,' it says.

    'This will be an opportunity to move your pending naturalization cases. If you have not volunteered for OT, please consider and let me know if you are interested.'

    To keep things moving, the unnamed official noted special Saturday hours.

    'To assist with that the Field Office will be open on Saturday, July 23 between the hours of 6:30am and 2:30pm for overtime (no interviews). Also, the office will be open on Saturday, July 30 for officers who volunteered for overtime interviews 6:30am and 2:00pm and to officers to work N-14 and Reverification cases,' according to the email.

    Johnson and Iowa Senator Charles Grassley wrote the Homeland Security Department questioning its practices in the run-up to the elections. Grassley chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee.
