Immigrant applications cause backup
Processing delays may deny vote to hundreds of thousands
By Spencer S. Hsu

The Department of Homeland Security failed to prepare for a massive influx
of applications for U.S. citizenship and other immigration benefits this
summer, prompting complaints from Hispanic leaders and voter-mobilization
groups that several hundred thousand people may not be granted citizenship
in time to cast ballots in the 2008 presidential election.
Bush administration officials said yesterday that they had anticipated
applicants would rush to file their paperwork to beat a widely publicized
fee increase that took effect July 30, but did not expect the scale of the
response. The backlog comes just months after U.S. officials failed to
prepare for tougher border security requirements that triggered months-long
delays for millions of Americans seeking passports.
Before the fee hike, citizenship cases typically took about seven months to
complete. Now, immigration officials can take five months or more just to
acknowledge receipt of applications from parts of the country and will take
16 to 18 months on average to process applications filed after June 1,
according to officials from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which
is part of DHS. Such a timeline would push many prospective citizens well
past voter-registration deadlines for the 2008 primaries and the general
elections.
"We expected [the fee increase] might stimulate demand from some folks to
file who wouldn't have otherwise, and some from folks to file earlier than
they would have," said Michael Aytes, associate director of USCIS, "but we
never anticipated" the extent of the growth. "It went off the charts," he
said.
Other factors include legal immigrants' anxiety at an increasingly harsh
tenor of the political debate over illegal immigration, and heightened
interest in the 2008 presidential election, officials said.
Double the workload
The immigration agency's workload has nearly doubled, Aytes said, with 1.4
million naturalization applications arriving from October 2006 to September
2007, compared with 731,000 applications the year before. Between July and
September of this year alone, USCIS received 560,000 applications, he said.
The number of green-card-related applications surged to 876,000 in fiscal
2007, from 497,000 in fiscal 2006, he said. At one point this summer, USCIS
had 1 million applications and checks waiting to be opened and acknowledged,
Aytes said, a backlog that now stands at 235,000. Overall, USCIS received
7.7 million applications for all types of immigration benefits, up from 6.3
million.
"I really want to target the elections," USCIS Director Emilio T. Gonzalez
told the Associated Press in an interview published Tuesday. "I really want
to get as many people out there to vote as possible."
Aides, however, contradicted him. "We are going to process these cases as
responsibly and as quickly as we can, but we're not focused on any of the
election cycle," Aytes said. USCIS spokesman Bill Wright emphasized that
political calculations played no role in agency decisions. "Any implication
of that is ludicrous," he said.
In June, poor planning and coordination between DHS and the State Department
forced the Bush administration to temporarily suspend a new security
requirement that Americans present passports when flying to and from Canada,
Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. Processing times for passport
applications ballooned from three weeks to three or four months,
jeopardizing summer travel plans for millions of Americans. Wait times
returned to normal after the State Department allocated more resources and
staff.
The new crunch -- which some USCIS officials have dubbed a "frontlog" --
threatens to create a political headache that also stems in part from a
State-DHS miscommunication. In addition to raising immigration fees this
summer, the Bush administration triggered another cascade of applications
for legal permanent residency, or green cards, from skilled immigrant
workers when it pushed back a planned July 2 deadline, largely because the
two departments failed to coordinate on how many slots were available.
"It is the same pattern," said Crystal Williams, deputy director of the
American Immigration Lawyers Association. "It strikes me as remarkable. It's
not as if this could not have been predicted," she said.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), who chairs a House immigration subcommittee,
said prospective citizens' right to vote could be delayed, even though USCIS
justified what she called its "outrageous" fee increases by saying they
would pay to improve efficiency and speed processing. Citizenship applicants
by rule must have lived in the United States at least three to five years
and established stable lives. Roughly 85 percent of applicants are approved.
Citizenship application fees -- including electronic fingerprinting fees --
rose from $410 to $675 on July 30.
"These are people who want to be Americans . . . and to not allow them to
participate in one of the fundamental [rights] of a democracy, which is
voting, is a real problem," Lofgren said.
The immigration agency breakdown comes at a sensitive time. President Bush's
immigration overhaul legislation failed in the Senate this summer,
intensifying a heated national debate in which most Republican presidential
candidates are using get-tough rhetoric on border security to mobilize
voters agitated over immigration. Democratic contenders are supporting more
comprehensive measures, seeking to attract support from Hispanic voters who
may be put off by the harder GOP line.
'A huge concern'
"We have a huge concern on the impact of efforts for people to be able to
vote in time for the primaries," said William A. Ramos, Washington spokesman
for the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials,
which along with Spanish-language media and labor unions has supported
voter-registration efforts in potential swing states with large immigrant
populations, including California, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, Nevada,
New Mexico, Colorado and Florida.
Eliseo Medina, executive vice president of the 1.9 million-member Service
Employees International Union, said immigrants who want to assimilate into
U.S. culture and politics are being let down. "I think the overwhelming
response of immigrants is we do want to be part of this country, but we also
want our voices heard," he said. "Unfortunately, due to the incompetence of
the federal agency, they may not be able to register their opinions."
Sandra Flores, 26, of Houston said she applied for citizenship July 30 but
has not heard back from USCIS. "I'm worried. I feel frustrated," said
Flores, a part-time student at San Jacinto College who immigrated with her
family from Monterrey, Mexico, in 1995, and who said citizenship would give
her a vote, a greater sense of security and a better chance to attend a
university.
Mildred Molina de Andujar, 42, of Dorchester, Mass., said she applied July
26. USCIS told her only last week that it received her application.
"The most important thing for me is the right to vote," said Andujar, a
janitor in Boston's John Hancock building, who immigrated from the Dominican
Republic in 1993 and has a 17-year-old daughter with a green card and a
10-year-old son who is a U.S. citizen by birth.

I'm getting a sinking feeling that they are going to steal this election
just like the last two. Plus I know they are just dying to see Hillary
run. The Swiftboat ads against Kerry were northing compared to the even
more fraudulent slime that they will throw at her.

Hopefully, the voters will be smarter this time around.
They know that the Republicans stole the last few
elections and how they did it. Plus, there will be people
at just about all polling places watching to see that
ballots aren't destroyed or hidden like last time. I plan
to volunteer to do whatever I can during this election.
I know that at least one organization of Democratic
lawyers is setting up whatever protections they can and
plan to be at the polling places, too.
Plus, there will probably be a lot of fundies who won't
vote out of pure disgust over their leaders' choices.

Excellent idea. I'm thinking that after the first of the year, I want to
get active in the local Democratic party. I want to work for the
Democratic Congressional candidate in our district and get rid of the
slime bag that we have now.
I'll look into being a watcher at the polling places too.

Hopefully, but I see that Huckabee, the fundy minister, is creeping up
in the Iowa polls. I think he's considered weak on immigration so other
sectors of the base may be turned off by him.
I just hope that the Democrats don't make a mess of it this time.

Twenty eight years worth. Ever since Reagan started dismantling all that

majority in the Senate too. Given all of the recent scandals, that
shouldn't be too hard to accomplish.

Oh yes. But they need to be careful where they step. If Rudy gets the
nomination, I believe that there are more skeletons in his closet than
in Hillary's. Of course that won't stop them from trying to spread
their lies.

Immigrant applications cause backup
Processing delays may deny vote to hundreds of thousands
By Spencer S. Hsu
Washington Post

updated 6:59 a.m. ET Nov. 22, 2007
The Department of Homeland Security failed to prepare for a
massive
influx
of applications for U.S. citizenship and other immigration
benefits
this
summer, prompting complaints from Hispanic leaders and
voter-mobilization
groups that several hundred thousand people may not be granted
citizenship
in time to cast ballots in the 2008 presidential election.


Hopefully, the voters will be smarter this time around.
They know that the Republicans stole the last few
elections and how they did it. Plus, there will be people
at just about all polling places watching to see that
ballots aren't destroyed or hidden like last time. I plan
to volunteer to do whatever I can during this election.
I know that at least one organization of Democratic
lawyers is setting up whatever protections they can and
plan to be at the polling places, too.


Excellent idea. I'm thinking that after the first of the year, I
want
to
get active in the local Democratic party. I want to work for the
Democratic Congressional candidate in our district and get rid of
the
slime bag that we have now.

I'll look into being a watcher at the polling places too.


Plus, there will probably be a lot of fundies who won't
vote out of pure disgust over their leaders' choices.


Hopefully, but I see that Huckabee, the fundy minister, is creeping
up
in the Iowa polls. I think he's considered weak on immigration so
other
sectors of the base may be turned off by him.


The Republicans have a serious problem in that
none of their candidates can be all things to all men.
They can just lie so much and they get caught.


Lies are all they have left. I know Republicans who have just about
given up and are resigned to having a Democrat in the House for the
next
four years. They are already talking about 2012.


I just hope that the Democrats don't make a mess of it this time.


I can only hope that a lot of Progressive Liberals
get voted in this time. There is a hell of a lot of
Republican damage to repair.


Twenty eight years worth. Ever since Reagan started dismantling all
that
was good about our government. We need at least a filibuster proof
majority in the Senate too. Given all of the recent scandals, that
shouldn't be too hard to accomplish.


We'll have to keep an eye on the Swiftboatliars.
They're already in action.


Oh yes. But they need to be careful where they step. If Rudy gets the
nomination, I believe that there are more skeletons in his closet than
in Hillary's. Of course that won't stop them from trying to spread
their lies.

I have no doubt that there are skeltons in Rudy's background.
If they are found out and reported, they will be the truth about
a man we already know is a sleaze. The swiftboatliars only use
lies and more lies.

I have no doubt that there are skeltons in Rudy's background.
If they are found out and reported, they will be the truth about
a man we already know is a sleaze. The swiftboatliars only use
lies and more lies.


Rudy believes that all he has to do is keep repeating 9-11, 9-11,
9-11,... What did he do except put his Emergency Center in the WTC,
which had been previously attacked and gave the firemen and police the
wrong kind of radios so they could not be warned that the buildings
were

We already know Mr. NounVerb9/11 is a sleaze.
Anything new we learn about him will just show

And a liar and a flip-flopper to boot.


We already know that he's a self-centered womanizer
whose children hate him. Add liar and flip-flopper to
that, and he's a very unapetizing candidate for anything.

I don't understand why he is above single digits in the polls. I think
that says a lot about the quality of the other candidates.

Immigrant applications cause backup

We'll have to keep an eye on the Swiftboatliars.
They're already in action.


Oh yes. But they need to be careful where they step. If Rudy
gets
the
nomination, I believe that there are more skeletons in his
closet
than
in Hillary's. Of course that won't stop them from trying to
spread
their lies.


I have no doubt that there are skeltons in Rudy's background.
If they are found out and reported, they will be the truth about
a man we already know is a sleaze. The swiftboatliars only use
lies and more lies.


Rudy believes that all he has to do is keep repeating 9-11, 9-11,
9-11,... What did he do except put his Emergency Center in the
WTC,
which had been previously attacked and gave the firemen and
police
the
wrong kind of radios so they could not be warned that the
buildings
were
ready to collapse. Besides that, he showed up for as many photo
ops
as
possible. And then there's his personal life...


We already know Mr. NounVerb9/11 is a sleaze.
Anything new we learn about him will just show
that he's a bigger sleaze.


And a liar and a flip-flopper to boot.


We already know that he's a self-centered womanizer
whose children hate him. Add liar and flip-flopper to
that, and he's a very unapetizing candidate for anything.


I don't understand why he is above single digits in the polls. I think
that says a lot about the quality of the other candidates.


I spoke too soon when I said that anything new
we learned would show that he's a bigger sleaze.
Yesterday the news came out that Guilani has had
a business connection with a shiek in Kattar (sp?)
who has connections with terrorists. In fact, Rudy
invited this shiek to visit the US just a few days
after 9/11! How many years has this been going on
and why are we just learning about this now? Keith
Olberman was having fits over this on his show last
night. We have got to learn more!


Yes. I saw that and watched Olbermann too. It was also reveled today
that he illegally used taxpayer money to pay pay for 'security' on trips
to fool around with with his mistress (now wife #3) in the Hamptons.

Why is he still in the race?

Probably this information isn't being shown on
all the non-cable tv channels and radio stations
and newspapers. People simply don't know. But,
it is starting to come out and I wonder how this
will affect his stats when people really learn what
a slimebag he is. Rudy is trying to laugh it off
now, but with so much coming out at once along
with other things we've already learned, I doubt
he'll be laughing for long.
