Obama Regime Imposes Rubber-Stamping of Suspect Visa Applications

Moonbattery
Verbatim Post

At this point the Obama Regime has jettisoned even the pretense of defending our borders or acting in America’s interests. Imagine these people guarding the door through 2016:

Higher-ups within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services are pressuring rank-and-file officers to rubber-stamp immigrants’ visa applications, sometimes against the officers’ will, according to a Homeland Security report and internal documents exclusively obtained by The Daily.

A 40-page report, drafted by the Office of Inspector General in September but not publicly released, details the immense pressure immigration service officers are under to approve visa applications quickly, sometimes while overlooking concerns about fraud, eligibility or security.

One-quarter of the 254 officers surveyed said they have been pressured to approve questionable cases, sometimes “against their will.”

What happens to bureaucrats who take their responsibility to uphold the law and to serve their country’s interests seriously?

At least five agency veterans seen as being too tough on applicants were either demoted, or given the choice between a demotion or a relocation from Southern California — where their families were — to San Francisco and Nebraska, according to sources and letters of reassignment provided to The Daily.

Those kind of threats have caused lower-level employees to fall in line, sources said.

“People are afraid,” said one longtime manager, who requested anonymity for fear of being fired. “Integrity only carries people so far because they’ve got to pay the rent.”

That’s how things work in authoritarian countries, where the whims and agendas of the rulers matter, and the laws on the books do not.

An obvious effect of this policy is to make it easier for future Mohamed Attas to enter the country. The actual purpose is less obviously sinister — but even more destructive.

The “fundamental transformation” of America into some totally different country isn’t about ramming through unpopular legislation like ObamaCare that could conceivably be repealed. It is about erasing America, so that it can never be reconstituted. This is why the Obama Regime is committed to ensuring that any Third Worlder who wants a visa can get one. Many never return to their native hellholes, but stay on gathering generous benefits in exchange for helping to displace the native population.
