Asylum audit finds fraud, laws broken. More to come in by thousands

Yesterday I posted Obama to give those with ‘tangential’ terrorist connections asylum, refugee status. Fox news had a report on the status of this Executive order, and it is even worse than reported. First of all it is illegal for Obama to order this. Obama has the right to change asylum on an individual basis, but not wholesale. Also the most underreported story is that this very asylum business is what brought the terrorists to Boston do their nasty bombing during the marathon. Now today, this headline.

The Washington Times reports: Audit finds asylum system rife with fraud; approval laws broken with surge of immigrants

At least 70 percent of asylum applications showed signs of fraud, according to a secret 2009 internal government audit that found many of those cases had been approved anyway.
The 2009 fraud assessment, obtained by the House Judiciary Committee and reviewed by The Washington Times, suggests a system open to abuse and exploitation at a time when the number of people applying for asylum in the U.S. has skyrocketed, particularly along the southwestern border.
Another report obtained by the committee suggests that the government isn’t detaining most of those who apply for asylum, including those awaiting a final judgment.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte said the documents taint the credibility of the asylum system, which is designed to provide an outlet for foreigners who face real risks of being harmed if they remain in their home countries.

“Asylum fraud undermines the integrity of our immigration system and hurts U.S. taxpayers. Once individuals are granted asylum, they receive immediate access to all major federal welfare programs. Our immigration system should be generous to those persecuted around the globe, but we must also ensure our compassion isn’t being abused by those seeking to game the system,” Mr. Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican, said in a statement to The Times.
