Green Card a Threat to National Security

The massive upsurge in green card applications has created a massive backlog; In turn this backlog has created a problem as the applicants have been granted a work permit even though they shouldn’t be. One possible solution would be to get through the number of green card applications quicker.

An alternate possibility to this green card problem may be forthcoming after a successful program in Dallas. The workers in Dallas have devised a quicker, more effective and more efficient process whereby to assess Green Card applications. In turn the amount of time needed is reduced and the Green Card backlog has been disappearing.

The average time to process a Green Card application in eight to nine months. And with one in five green card applications rejected, that means there are lot of people working in the USA who shouldn’t be. Hence the security risk, then and there a massive dent is made in to the Green Card backlog.

If the Dallas program were introduced nationally, many of the 46,000 who have work permits due to them waiting on their Green Card application wouldn’t have them. The FBI is also playing its part with agents acting undercover as immigrants applying for a Green Card. They play along with the scam and then catch the criminal in the act.
