The Runaway (Jihad) Train of U.S. Immigration Policy Off the tracks. <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18705586/site/newsweek/> Terrorists in the File Cabinet? NEWSWEEK has learned that an application for asylum filed in 1989 by the family of three suspects in the New Jersey plot stalled inside the federal bureaucracy for 16 years due to a paperwork "backlog." ... As a result, for nearly two decades, American authorities were aware that members of the family were inside the United States, and that they had probably come here illegally. While the asylum application was under consideration, the government effectively suspended any effort to deport family members as illegal aliens, the source familiar with their immigration history said. A U.S. official familiar with immigration procedures said that the asylum claim may have bogged down because Congress had limited the number of asylum-seekers who could be granted permanent resident status to 10,000 a year. The official said this limitation meant that even if asylum seekers' claims of persecution were legitimate, waits of 16 years or more for a green card were not unusual. However, another official familiar with the Duka case history said that the family asylum claim got stuck for 16 years at INS because of a bureaucratic paperwork backlog of more than 100,000 asylum applications. The official said asylum claims routinely sat in "filing cabinets" for a decade or more. Hmm. Fancy that. And wait, stop me if you've heard this one: The source familiar with the Duka case said that the three Duka brothers-Dritan, Eljvir and Shain-are believed to have first entered the United States illegally in 1984 by crossing from Mexico at Brownsville, Texas. Yeah, I'm thinking you've heard that one. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
