The Patriot Post® · 97.9% of DREAMers Approved

The Dept. of Homeland Security has approved 97.9% of illegal immigrants seeking work permits through DHS’s deferred action program. This startling figure indicates that DREAMers aren’t being carefully vetted. The Washington Free Beacon has more: “Of the cases reviewed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), only 2.1 percent of young illegal aliens have been denied work permits through its deferred action program. Figures released by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) show that of the 465,033 cases reviewed, only 9,578 have been denied.” Jessica Vaughn of the Center for Immigration Studies notes, “The low denial rate suggests that applications are not being thoroughly screened. The program rules were designed to make it easy for people to claim eligibility. Applicants can submit un-provable affidavits or easily forged documents to establish eligibility.” No doubt they return the favor at the ballot box.
