5/20/13, "Union of immigration enforcement officers to oppose Senate bill," nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com, Carrie Dann
"A union representing 12,000 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
officers will publicly oppose the Senate Gang of Eight immigration plan
Monday, giving critics of the overhaul effort additional political
ammunition as they work to defeat legislation working its way through
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In a release announcing the
group's opposition to the bill, National Citizenship and Immigration
Services Council president Kenneth Palinkas writes that the bill would
fail to address an "insurmountable bureaucracy" at the federal agency
overseeing immigration documents and argues that USCIS personnel are
currently "pressured to rubber stamp applications instead of
conducting diligent case review and investigation."
"The culture at USCIS encourages all applications to be approved,
discouraging proper investigation into red flags and discouraging the
denial of any applications," he wrote in the release.
The union
joins the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, which
represents a majority of the nation's deportation agents and is one of
the most vocal opponents of the bill - in its opposition to the Gang of
Eight measure."...via Mark Levin twitter
