''Any politician who refuses to work to secure our borders and create an immigration system that has integrity is either corrupt or too dumb to keep his (her) job. Any politician, irrespective of party affiliation who favors Comprehensive Immigration Reform should be shown the door at the next election!''
When you read this news article I want you pay special attention to read the passages I put in quotes above, but I would urge you to read the entire news report.
Here is a link to Greenspan's testimony (don't take my word for what he said- read it yourself!)Please pay special attention to the fact that the "leaders" at the United States Department of Labor indicated that they did not know if they had the authority to investigate fraud in the applications that they processed!
This is about as sensible as a traffic cop on duty saying he didn't know if he could issue summonses to drivers who run red lights!
What is the process of adjudicating applications for anything if the people adjudicating the applications don't think they can look for fraud?
Why bother adjudicating the applications at all? Why not just have applicants self-file and be done with it?!
It is interesting that prior to the Second World War, the United States Department of Labor was in charge of administering the immigration laws of the United States because back then, when apparently commonsense prevailed, the concern was that foreign workers might undercut American and lawful immigrant workers.
(How far we have gone in precisely the opposite direction since then!)
Finally I am compelled to make a point I have made on so many previous occasions- With all of this rampant fraud that permeates the entire immigration system- how in blazes would our inept government even begin to make certain that any sort of "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" program would have any integrity whatsoever?
This is, of course, a rhetorical question. It is the equivalent of asking if a frail and elderly hospital patient clinging to life on a respirator would be able to run the New York City Marathon!... If you find yourself to be in agreement with this commentary, I ask that you forward it to as many of your friends and family members as possible and encourage them to do the same. http://www.newswithviews.com/Cutler/michael176.htm
