This is why I don't trust the government to screen out terrorists applying to come here as refugees.
800 immigrants wrongly granted U.S. citizenship
By: Alicia A. Caldwell Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The U.S. government has mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants from countries of concern to national security or with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending deportation orders, according to an internal Homeland Security audit released Monday.
The Homeland Security Department's inspector general found that the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and such discrepancies weren't caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases.
DHS said in an emailed statement that an initial review of these cases suggest that some of the individuals may have ultimately qualified for citizenship, and that the lack of digital fingerprint records does not necessarily mean they committed fraud.
The report does not identify any of the immigrants by name, but Inspector General John Roth's auditors said they were all from "special interest countries" - those that present a national security concern for the United States - or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud. The report did not identify those countries.
DHS said the findings reflect what has long been a problem for immigration officials - old paper-based records containing fingerprint information that can't be searched electronically. DHS says immigration officials are in the process of uploading these files and that officials will review "every file" identified as a case of possible fraud.
Roth's report said fingerprints are missing from federal databases for as many as 315,000 immigrants with final deportation orders or who are fugitive criminals. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not reviewed about 148,000 of those immigrants' files to add fingerprints to the digital record.
What frightens people is so completely and ridiculously illogical.
You are not going to be killed by a terrorist.
Even if that million to 1 thing happened it most likely would be homegrown.
It's like you being scared that a shark is going to eat you when cows kill far more people than sharks.
It seems to be a peculiarly American thing to be irrationally frightened of foreigners which for a country made of immigrants is very strange...
Yeah... Hillary's 100% endorsement of the PNAC hysterical obsession with Russia (because of what Stalin did to their Trotskyite grandparents) concerns me a Hell of a lot more than the odds of a random terrorist attack if somebody lets in the wrong refugee from Syria or whatever country where people insist on praying with their asses pointed in a specific direction.
If the nuclear apocalypse happens, I'm fucked. If they aim for state capitols I'm directly in the blast zone. If they aim for military bases, I'm definitely within the nuclear winter/radiation sickness zone, in which case I'd rather just drive to the base and get it over with. I'm assuming the traffic on the freeway will be too heavy for me to get up to Bill Gates's house and force my way into whatever underground compound he has built for the occasion. Maybe one of the rich Ramsters out in Yelm has a decent bunker?

Honestly, I would think the chances of my being killed by one of my fellow native-born white American countrymen - probably via a random mass shooting in a public place - are much, much greater than being killed by a Hispanic or black American, much less a foreign Muslim terrorist as part of a jihad.
And even the chances of my being a victim of that hypothetical mass shooting are virtually zero. I'm far more likely to collapse from a massive coronary in my home office while engaging in my nightly hours-long, trance-inducing jagoff sessions via web pron. Yet the awareness of that won't inhibit me from engaging in this activity repeatedly just the same.
The odds of being killed by a terrorist over here in America indeed are essentially zero. However, fear often overshadows logic.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Irrationally frightened of foreigners. Thanx for your diagnosis Dr Phil. The likelihood I would come in contact with a terrorist other than a crazed local is slim to none. I live in a small town 100 miles away from the nearest big city. But I don't think only of myself. I don't want any of my fellow Americans to become victims of terrorism. You can't say there's no chance an American will ever die at the hands of a foreigner who came here just to kill Americans because that has already happened several times in the last few years.
You better go back to school and take a math course. While I agree the odds would be pretty low you'd have the factor in the fact that is has happened and will most likely happen again. You disrespect thousands of Americans who died on 9/11 with your zero odds. You also disrespect the 14 people assassinated by foreign born terrorists in San Bernadino just last year which is only a few miles away from my former hometown in California.
I'm not sure that's why the dumb biatch wants us to go to war with Russia. For years the last thing on my mind was dying in a nuclear war but lately it seems like it's almost inevitable. I figure it will start with some towel head country lobbing a nuke into Israel. Israel says fuck it and lets all their nukes fly. Or my darkest fear is some knucklehead detonating a large enough nuke on the moon to change it's orbit. No one on Earth would survive. Far all I know that nuke is already in place. Where is Klaatu when you need him?
How many of your sad, F A T cantankerous Scottish fucks have died from alcoholism while you continue to burden your shitty country's health care system?
You're such a slave.
Whatchu talkin' bout Willis? Raining hot cheese would be a terrible waste of cheese unless it's that liquid cheese they put on Arby's beef and cheddar sandwiches or that crap they put on nachos at ball games and such. Wasting cheese is a sin. Do not waste cheese was one of the 15 commandments. Unfortunately the last five didn't make it back to the people because Moses accidentally dropped it while trying to dislodge a pebble in his sandals. Don't take any wooden nickles was on that one too.
Interesting. And. Ghey
Well, fuck me. Lucky I didn't say anything about Seth's Jewieness.
Horseshit. SNL and Late Night With Seth Asshole are totally biased against conservatives and Republicans. They'll crack a joke about Hillary once in a while but it's usually something she could laugh at herself. When they crack jokes about Trump they're usually more insulting.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Turdonabummer should know. I mean, look what he views his corporate-controlled media propaganda-generated capitalist filth on:
Because, you know, he's poor.
There was a time I was down in the dumps relying on friends (you'll have to look that up, doubtful you have any) but I bounced back. Unlike you who sucks cock for gas money at the local coin laundromat. Even if I was still broke who the fuck are you to judge me? I bet you're so skanky even Donald Trump would turn down a chance to grab that orifice between your legs that smells like a cat who eats too much tuna's litter box.
No. Limey.
Dude, just reading your bullshit (and knowing how fucking lazy you really are) alone makes you a tax payer burden to those who pay for your social worker.
Shouldn't they take EBT for edibles? They are food (with extra ingredients)
