Excerpted from The Blaze:

Pressure from the Obama administration to rubber-stamp citizenship applicants and the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to properly train personnel and give them the tools to vet those applications have jeopardized U.S. national security, federal law enforcement officials and a Homeland Security union leader told TheBlaze.

Kenneth Palinkas, president of the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council, the union representing 12,000 United States Citizenship and Immigration Services officers and staff, told TheBlaze Congress needs to investigate why his agency has been left without proper tools to screen applicants and made the nation vulnerable.
Palinkas said employees are required by administrative orders “to grant immigration benefits to those who, under law, are not properly eligible.”
Further, approval quotas placed on adjudicators — personnel that conduct the interviews of prospective citizens — emphasize clearing applications faster than they can be vetted and lead to a majority of prospective applications being approved for entry into the U.S.
“USCIS adjudications officers lack the mission support to safely screen and review applicants for immigration benefits,” Palinkas said in a press release obtained by TheBlaze in advance of planned distribution on Thursday. “This includes the inability to conduct in-person interviews, the failure of our software system, the lack of training and office space, and pressure to rubber-stamp applications. We have become an approval machine.”

“We have become an approval machine,” says U.S. immigration services union president.
