McCain Says Border Surge Isn’t Essential Part of “Compromise” But Citizenship Is
“Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) signaled Tuesday that the dramatic boost in border-security in the Senate’s comprehensive immigration bill could be one of the provisions that may be changed in a potential House-Senate compromise. During an immigration forum hosted by the AFL-CIO Tuesday, McCain – a key Senate Gang of Eight negotiator – said while a pathway to citizenship for the nation’s undocumented immigrants is a “fundamental element” of the bill, the “rest of it could be adjusted.” He singled out the border security parts as an example,” Politico reports.
Amnesty Lobby Targets GOP House
“Outside groups plan to target more than 100 House Republicans over the August recess with an aggressive ground game aimed at persuading lawmakers to embrace immigration reform. Their goal: prove that it’s not just Washington insiders who want a comprehensive immigration overhaul, but that conservative voters in their districts support it as well,” Politico reports.
DHS Lost Track of 1 Million Overstays
“The Homeland Security Department has lost track of more than 1 million people who it knows arrived in the U.S. but who it cannot prove left the country, according to an audit Tuesday that also found the department probably won’t meet its own goals for deploying an entry-exit system,” the Washington Times reports.
“The findings were revealed as Congress debates an immigration bill, and the Government Accountability Office’s report could throw up another hurdle because lawmakers in the House and Senate have said that any final deal must include a workable system to track entries and exits and cut down on so-called visa overstays.”
Piecemeal Approach Remains House GOP Strategy
“The House is still fumbling around on how its members will tackle immigration reform. But two key House committees have at least laid out a menu of some options for the full chamber to consider when it begins voting on immigration bills this fall. Reflecting GOP wishes for a piecemeal strategy, each bill passed one at a time and, except for one, no Democrats voted in favor of them,” Politico writes.
“The collection of bills touches on a wide array of immigration laws, from enforcement to agriculture, E-Verify to the high-skilled sector except the big elephant in the room: What’s the House going to do with the 11 million undocumented immigrants? Here’s POLITICO’s guide to those five bills, which passed when most of the focus was on the Senate Gang of Eight and its rewrite of immigration laws.”

The majority of our elected government officials have a seriously warped mentality regarding all immigration (illegal & legal) as a whole, and ignore the consequences of their utter failure to enforce our laws they pledged to uphold!

DHS Didn’t Lose track of VISA Over-stays
DHS just ignores the problem, because they could care less about our immigration laws on the books.
Partially right SWE…………………..just like you in your company…do you really care about your company as long as you keep your job?…same thing…………………….most people have lost their way BUT GETTING TO THE POINT:
They simply lost track because of the way it was handled………………..do your research and you will see……….basically using paper work without enough info and a follow up process………………………..because there used to be no terrorism in our soil and financial issues like nowadays………………….
If America Depopulated With Its Real American Population’s Current 1.7 Birthrate and Hault Immigration
We could easily flush DHS down the sewer line.
DHS loses track of 1 million overstays.
“The dept. probably won’t meet it’s own goals for deploying an entry-exit system.”
But it’s always trust us. That so called “broken system”? Not our fault. The old saying is fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. So why is the American public willing to be fooled for the 50th time by the same politicians?
