| Massive Fraud In Religious Visa Program |
| 2006-07-12 |
| And who is committing this Fraud? Could it be Muslims? Wasn't each and every act of terrorism, including the tunnel-conspirators, mosque basd? Radical alien Muslims + impressionable minds = terrorism The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has found a special visa program for religious workers is riddled with fraud, the Boston Globe reported Tuesday. The newspaper obtained a redacted version of the department's report on an internal investigation. Investigators who audited 220 applications for religious visas found that more than a third included fraudulent information. The program allows religious organizations, including churches, mosques and synagogues, to bring in foreigners to fill specific positions. Religious worker visas can be temporary ones for three years or green cards allowing immigrants to remain in the United States permanently. The audit found an especially high rate of fraud in applications from heavily Muslim countries. In one case, an Egyptian national living in the United States filed applications for 82 visas for religious workers. While critics say the program could allow terrorists easy entry, many religious groups find it vital. Margaret Perron, director of religious immigration services for the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, told the Globe the U.S. church has an acute shortage of priests and nuns. (UPI) |

| #8 Send all the fraudsters home with a permanent bar to ever come back to the US. Summarily expel all those connected to the fraud, like that Egyptian idiot mentioned in the article. Clear the deck of all who came illegally, then we can get to work on those of the enemy who came legally. |

| #1 I guess they are just going to keep pushing until we push back. What's amazing to me is their inability to grasp the eventual consequences of their actions. But I don't know why I'm amazed. I mean - it's not like we don't have whole volumes of history too see exactly where this is headed. I guess I just thought they would have gotten a clue - what with all this modern technology and all. It's not like they don't have access to the same information. |
