Watchdog
Group Files Suit To Get Documents and Expose Obama’s Sick Immigration Secret,
11/7/15
(Breitbart) – Judicial Watch has
sued the Obama administration for documents related to its recent campaign
urging permanent residents to become naturalized U.S. citizens, the
conservative government accountability group announced Thursday.
The organization initially filed a
Freedom of Information Act request with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) in May seeking the information USCIS sent to green card
holders encouraging them to naturalize in advance of the 2016 election.
According to Judicial Watch, since USCIS failed to comply in a timely fashion
to the request, the group filed suit.
“Judicial Watch is looking to uncover
the Obama administration’s political prioritization of our immigration system
in order to receive votes,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a
statement Thursday.
“This shouldn’t come as a surprise
to most Americans but the blatant manipulation of our immigration system – at
the expense of others – for political gain needs to be exposed for everyone to
see,” he added.
Judicial Watch charges that, in
conjunction with the Obama administration’s plan to help permanent residents
become U.S. citizens, USCIS has shifted resources from its “Electronic
Immigration System to dispatch letters focused on naturalization prior to
the election.
“USCIS would normally conduct a
criminal and security background investigation of an immigration
applicant upon his or her filing for naturalization,” the group charged in a
release. “This process reportedly has been expedited, reminiscent of
Clinton-era “Citizenship USA” program and “lean and light.”
