Congressman: Obama Admin Failing to Screen, Track Foreign Immigrants

The Obama administration is failing to adequately screen and track nearly 10 million foreign immigrants who were let into the country on visas last year, according to a congressional member of the House Judiciary Committee, who disclosed to the Washington Free Beacon that there is “tremendous pressure” on federal authorities to green light these visas despite the inability to fully vet foreigners.

Rep. Randy Forbes (R., Va.) told the Free Beacon that nearly four years after a government oversight body highlighted critical vulnerabilities in the U.S. visa system, the risk of infiltration and fraud remains at record highs.

These flaws have allowed terrorists to gain legal entry to the United States, yet the Obama administration continues to pressure federal authorities to admit individuals into the country—even those who have failed to properly complete their visa applications, Forbes said.

These practices have prompted Forbes to spearhead legislation aimed at tightening security screening measures and cracking down on fraudulent visa applications.

“What most Americans don’t realize is that just last year alone we issued about 10 million visas for people to come into the United States,” Forbes said in an interview. “That’s a pretty large number and we really don’t have the processes of completely vetting those individuals, nor do we have processes often times of keeping up with them once they get here. So in addition to just driving or walking across the border, or sneaking across the border, on the Southern border, we have 10 million that just come in because we stamped a visa and allowed them to come in.”

And all of that is okay, since Obama is involved.
But let all of the a--holes pick at every thing that Trump does and says.

Think that if any terrorism results from his negligence, victims of the tragedy should be able to sue Obama and Paul Ryan personally for the loss of life in a civil suit-even after their political lives have concluded. That way, accountability for this negligent action against American lives will be insured.

Their FIRST and foremost job is NOT "campaigning", fundraising, soliciting more bribes, or taking their staff an family to Japan for a "fact-finding" mission.
Their FIRST responsibility is the safety and security of the American citizen.
HOW is ANY of this feel-good, let-anyone-come-in immigration policy related to doing THAT?
They don't give a crap whether you or I live or die.
Serfs MUST be sacrificed and thats how they look at it.
Seeing YOUR kids brains splattered all over the walls of a Metro station is just 30 seconds of news, one time. They can live with that. Have I mentioned HANGING EVERY ONE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM??? With piano wire.
Keep cheering.
