Amnesty concerns and the missing $800 million

So typical of the U.S. government primarily through the Department of Homeland Security who amidst the reports not only has lost track of 800 million dollars ($800,000,000) yet, even more incredible – is that payment has been received by Boeing Inc, based on ‘mock ups’ of how the then alleged “invisible fence” was going to work. Reports from earlier this morning state that the entire system is inoperable and has never been fully functional.

Not that we would even suspect of any wrong-doing on the parts of DHS, USCIS, FEMA, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Secret Service, or the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). However, in lieu of what is occurring now regarding this unethical Health –care Reform bill and as long as it includes the actions of humankind, suffice it to say that everyone would be much happier and at ease of the untold scores of funds gone missing.

Once again according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, Immigration Benefits: Actions Needed to Address Vulnerabilities in Process for Granting Permanent Residency, as mentioned in our previous post one of the largest and looming concerns looming is that the intra-agency communication has not been clear and or effective. From the GAO report: Vulnerabilities:

The same applies for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). “In addition to identifying potential national security concerns from checking an alien’s name against watch lists in Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS), name checks against the FBI’s investigative files have uncovered individuals who raised national security concerns.

As the GAO report documents: “We reviewed a random sample created by FDNS of FBI name check results provided to USCIS to ascertain the types of national security concerns identified during the name check process. We found that the FBI provided information to USCIS that these individuals:

Had associated with terrorist organizations, were agents of foreign governments, were involved in criminal activities, or had engaged in espionage against the United Sates. In addition, while USCIS has some data on applicants with national security concerns, the data are limited because USCIS’ – Computer Linked Application Information Management System (CLAIMS) – was not designed to capture and routinely generate reports on the extent, type, and nature of national security threats posed by applicants.

For example, this system does not routinely provide statistics on the visa categories used (family- or employment-based applications) and whether the immigration benefits were granted or denied. Such information could be useful to help identify the characteristics of applicants who could pose national security and terrorism-related concerns, and the avenues they may use to stay in the United States.

In a manner of speaking it’s the blind leading the blind but worse. All of law enforcement is not involved from the ground up and this is tragic. Terrorists and or illegal aliens start on the ground – where 287g is encouraged (local LE assisting USCIS), and then all federal agencies incorporating a system that communicates with all of the others. This is the only way that “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” will ever work.
