USCIS union president fights immigration reform bill

this is a bad news..

The president of a union that represents 12,000 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services employees announced his opposition to the immigration reform bill in the Senate on Monday morning.
"The legislation will provide legal status to millions of visa overstays while failing to provide for necessary in-person interviews," union President Kenneth Palinkas said in a statement. "Legal status is also explicitly granted to millions who have committed serious immigration and criminal offenses."
The Senate version of the bill, which has not been introduced to the floor, will offer legalization to most of the country's 11 million undocumented immigrants, provided they pass a background check and pay fines.
The USCIS union's workers examine and approve citizenship and visa applications.
Palinkas said USCIS employees are pressured to "rubber-stamp" citizenship and visa applications and lack the resources to adequately investigate applicants.
Palinkas is joining the National ICE Council, the union that represents 7,600 Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, in opposing the bill. That union's president, Chris Crane, has been a vocal critic of the Obama administration's policy to prioritize deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed dangerous crimes.

really? so this guy is happy with the current system? better to not know who is even here?

Get a new job if you don't like the work you do for your boss, this is the type of principal these clowns should learn.

It's not bad news.

Lazy bastards.

just hire more people ?

imagine how long it would take to interview 11 million people?

its simple , maybe raise the price for the application in order to hire and train for officers ? come on , it will create a lil boom in the economy as they will hire more workers , and try to get through the 11 million applications

this has nothing to do with the workload that they're going to have to fulfill and it has everything to do with their "they came here, broke the law and now they're getting rewarded" mentality that they have. Its more of a personal problem if you ask me and they shouldn't impose their views on the government, but they simply do not give a shit. They want to deport more people instead of allowing them to stay. These guys wont stop fighting "illegal immigration"

and this is why i laugh when they lose their jobs they're too lazy to work for and blame us for taking them lol
