    So Congress doesn't fully fund digitizing all fingerprint records pre-2008, some immigrants slip through the cracks with USCIS and Obama is blamed for it?

    Sounds about right...

    There are accountability measures in place. If a naturalized citizen is discovered to have been ineligible for citizenship, ICE may investigate the circumstances and refer the case to the Department of Justice for revocation of citizenship according to the actual report that no one will read. This of course will require all of the paper fingerprint records to be digitized, which will require funding from Congress. ICE is currently investigating or has investigated over 100 of the cases with 2 of them thus far being recommended to the DOJ for prosecution. There are over 148,000 incomplete files that need to be reviewed.

    Obama better get started on that. He only has a few months left before Hillary has to take it over.

    I tend to agree with you it's not Obama's or HRC's fault but an institutional problem.
    However it points out two facts that make the admittance of refugees from the Middle East a bad idea. First is the lack of background on most from the Middle East. This is an issue that the FBI, CIA, and other agencies made a while back. They can't vette most people from Syria, Iraq, North Africa the Arabian Pennisula etc because records are non exist an or not secure. If you can't determine who an immigrant is you can't determine if they are good or terrorists.
    Second point is that institutions fail regularly. Bureaucracies are inefficient. The error is now over 1800 and will happen again.
    Because of these two facts we need to severely limit refugees from these places as the risk is too great.
    If we want to help, establish safe areas in their countries and let the find a path to modernity.
