Obama Admin Mishandled Thousands of Citizenship Applications Before 2016 Election

The government began last year with about 390,000 pending applications, which is about the usual number, and was averaging four months of processing time. It ended the year with more than 635,000 applications in its backlog and was taking far more than four months. In the final quarter of the year, it received nearly 240,000 applications and processed just 112,000–less than half its intake.

The problem can be traced to a new DHS computer system that was put in place last year, according to the department's watchdog. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services deployed the system to help transition the agency from a paper-based system to a digitized one.

The $1 billion computer system known as ELIS, a homage to Ellis Island, was so flawed that naturalization interviews and even citizenship ceremonies had to be canceled in case the immigrant applying for citizenship was not actually approved.

Yaaaahhh, I'm not sure that's correct.

I think it's a case of, we like certain immigrants and we don't like others.
wrong if you can't do things the right way you shouldn't be here. Is the immigration screwed up yes, but things need to be done the right way

What so hard about background checks? Just set a number create a system and process them. Isn't this the basics of legal immigration? Everyone not in an orderly line screwed up.

illegal ones......stand in line and go thru the process and you'll be welcomed.
Going through the refugee process is the hardest way to gain legal entry to the US. It is the most in depth vetting we have. They are checked against every database of every intelligence service we have. I seem to recall many trumpanzees complaining about refugees.

Another Drumpf failure.LMFAO!
Check out this post in the U.S. immigration vibe:
Judge blocks Trump order on sanctuary city funding
Judge blocks Trump order on sanctuary city funding
Judge failed to mention that Trump's executive order clearly states that they are enforcing existing law. Trump didn't create anything new. Existing law gives Federal government right to withhold funds from sanctuary cities who refuse to comply. Law was signed in 1996 by Bill Clinton. So do we comply with laws on the books or not?

Sessions was already doing a lot of it without the EO.

This case should end up in Supreme Court and result in that liberal activist judge getting slapped down.

Ask those who jumped through the hoops to get in how they feel about those entering illegally. Why is sanctuary being given to illegal aliens who commit criminal offences?

Congress should pass legislation that only allows judicial rulings on things that occur within a judge's district. Libs keep judge shopping to get rulings they want that if appealed will end up in the 9th Circuit. Ties things up and makes a mockery of the system.

Conservatives shop around as well.
