Official Report: Obama Pressuring Immigration Officers to Ignore Security Threats and Fraudulent Forms

Elections have consequences, and although the President should not be the source of laws, he is the chief executive of them, and it matters who wins the Presidential election because different people will execute those laws differently. For example, according to a 40-page report drafted by the Office of Inspector General in September, one-quarter of high-ranking U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers surveyed said they have been pressured by Obama administration to approve questionable visa applications, sometimes “against their will," and to overlook fraud, eligibility, or security concerns.

But high-ranking USCIS officials said the pressure has heightened after the Obama administration appointed Alejandro Mayorkas as director in August 2009 during an effort to pass comprehensive immigration reform, bringing with him a mantra of “get to yes.”

Internal communications provided to The Daily indicate that the new leadership seemed to fundamentally clash with career agency employees over when to afford the benefit of the doubt, culminating in a whistle-blower investigation into a senior appointee and, ultimately, the agency-wide inspector general inquiry that produced the report.

“We recognize their right to interpret things as liberally as possible, but you still have to follow the law,” said one high-ranking official who was unhappy with the current push.

At least five agency veterans seen as being too tough on applicants were either demoted, or given the choice between a demotion or a relocation from Southern California — where their families were — to San Francisco and Nebraska, according to sources and letters of reassignment provided to The Daily.

Those kind of threats have caused lower-level employees to fall in line, sources said.

“People are afraid,” said one longtime manager, who requested anonymity for fear of being fired. “Integrity only carries people so far because they’ve got to pay the rent.”

A rank-and-file officer who was not involved in the investigation claimed he was demoted to working on less technical cases because he had a high denial rate. “They don’t reprimand you, they just move you,” he said.

“They attempted to basically get me to come into line and approve a bunch of cases. And I just wouldn’t compromise myself because the approvals they ordered, they weren’t in line with the laws,” said the officer.

These employees’ claims are reflected in the inspector general report, which found that 14 percent of respondents had “serious concerns” that employees who focused on fraud or ineligibility were evaluated unfairly. The report also found that supervisors sometimes take cases away from an unwilling officer and assign them to someone else, against agency rules.

This is the kind of story which needs little elaboration. Obama officials are instructing and pressuring immigration officials to ignore fraudulently filled out immigration forms and potential security issues in order to allow more and more frauds and security threats to enter America. He's doing this because Democrats usually do well with people new to our nation (modern day Tammany Hall), or alternatively, because he wants to destroy our nation and this is simply yet another way of doing so.

Meanwhile, he has pressured for or prepared no legislation calling for reform of the immigration laws and policies which he is supposed to be following, because to do that would take intelligence, skill, and political guts, all of which he lacks. Bush and McCain both tried to put in place immigration changes, and back-biters like Obama killed it, because they never want to see anything improved. And then Obama becomes President and doesn't propose any reforms, and yet pressures immigration officials to just let anyone in to America, even if officials know they are security threats or have filled out their forms fraudulently.

This is the sort of report that should land Obama in jail. If you know anyone who is still supporting this guy, forward this blog post to them and ask them how they can support a guy who pressures federal officials to knowingly let security threats into our nation.
