Feds halt new citizenship approvals after Obama admin’s gaffe on background checks
Washington Times ^ | December 2, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

The government suspended naturalization ceremonies and banned officers from approving any new applications for citizenship earlier this week after realizing its background check system was broken and ineligible people may have been slipping through, a key congressman revealed Friday.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, whose office was tipped off to the monumental error, said he was stunned by the problem — and also by the fact that the administration never bothered to inform him of it.

...

At this point we are not confident that proper FBI Name Checks have been run on certain ELIS cases. At this point we are uncertain of the scope of the problem,” Daniel M. Renaud, the associate director..

FBI name checks are a critical part of the application process, giving immigration officers a look at potential criminal histories or other national security red flags that would make someone ineligible for citizenship.

Mr. Goodlatte demanded USCIS detail when it discovered the problem and how many cases were affected, and said the agency should take steps to strip citizenship from anyone who shouldn’t have been approved.

I remember notice of this a while back...maybe a month...and I believe the administration said there is nothing they can do about it.

Well...gosh darn...there sure is because obviously everyone of them in the last 7.9 years can be checked.

"It’s a mighty big swamp."

The trick is finding the lowest spot because that's where you dig the main ditch.

I’m not sure it is a matter of laziness so much as it is his realization that whatever he would learn in security briefings would be redundant with the very activities he himself orchestrates.

Duh?

My gosh, the open border bureaucrats have started to run for cover?

Trump is definitely feared by the leftoid/hemorrhoids who brought us incidents line the San Bernadino, California slaughter, where the Islamofascist woman perp. had been admitted to our country as a “vetted” bride on a 90 day visa, after attending a radical madrassa?

They all should be strung up by their left nuts, if they have any at all!

The rats are running for cover.....they know whats coming.

This has been publicly known and reported since before the election, but Obama did not want to slow down the citizenship train of undocumented Democrats until the election was over.

0dunga's gaffe was no gaffe. We ALL know he's done everything he possibly can to displace and REPLACE Caucasian Christian culture in the United States.

He helps Mexicans, Hondurans, Cubans, El Salvadorans, Syrians, Iraqis, Somalis, BLAH BLAH BLAH-DE-F**KIN BLAH.

0dunga represents 8 years of an all-out assault on PEACE AND STABILITY in the United States. His evil actions will HAUNT us for YEARS to come.

Let me guess, the FBI check takes time and they were trying to ram as many applicants through as possible before inauguration day, so they just decided to skip that step?
