| Homeland Security loses track of 1 million foreigners; report could hurt immigration deal |
| 2013-08-01 |
| 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 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. Some visa "overstays" from China deface government monuments with green paint. |

| #4 Just adopt the 'foreign bride' standards. You want to sponsor a immigrant, legal or illegal, you're responsible for their economic sustainment for 10 years. We'll see how many supporting amnesty are willing to put their wallet on the line. It's all about giving them other people's money via state subsidizes. When it directly hits their own income, we'll see how sympathetic they really are. Add in BP's bonding for the application. |

| #3 You need to have a bond system. If someone "disappears" then the bond holder pays out every month until they're found. Immigrant has to purchase bond cover from the bond-holder. |
