Can someone explain to me again why the immigration bill is such a priority all of a sudden when we have over 100+ million out of work and/or underemployed? If that wasn’t bad we have to deal with the IRS who is completely out of control along with a tax code one needs a law degree to understand.
Why this rush for immigration reform of 12+ million when those delegated with keeping track cannot even do that for 266 who overstayed their visit here? Oh lets not forget those 15,000 that are here on student visas that aren’t going to school!
I know why it’s such a rush, because 2014 is rolling around where the crooks in DC need to lock in a new voting pool to stay in power!

The 1,901 cases were reprioritized for further investigation by DHS “because the subjects of the records could pose national security or public safety concerns.â€
Of those that pose security threats, 266 could not be located, and nine individuals had been arrested…more
