Pentagon finds "security risks" in Obama-era program

Posted: Aug 3, 2017

A classified report from the Pentagon's inspector general found that the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (MAVNI) program had potential monitoring and vetting problems In 2014, the Pentagon announced that the program would also be open to 'Dreamers' who met the requirements of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative. MAVNI was originally intended to recruit people with special skills - including medical specialists and language skills - into the military in exchange for expedited US citizenship. But sources told Fox that there had been 'drift' in the program's criteria, with MAVNI increasingly being used to recruit cooks and drivers with no specialized skills. Concerns also include holes in security vetting, and a finding that multiple recruits under the program are unaccounted for. 'The program has been replete with problems, to include foreign infiltration – so much so that the Department of Defense is seeking to suspend the program due to those concerns,' Republican US Representative Steve Russell of Oklahoma said in a committee hearing last week. ;

Then fix it! While they're fixing that - they could fix the problem

of people like Trump offshoring and bringing in foreigners that take our jobs so they can pay cheap labor instead of fair wages to us.

There you go, problem solved.

"Bringing in foreigners that take our jobs" - Take a minute and reflect on that.

Who has been doing that for the last 8 years?

Then fix it. I just brought in Trump because - you folks keep digging up

stuff on Obama. By the way you need to go back way more than 8 years for the things I mentioned. I don't need to reflect on anything. They need to fix these problems, that's what they get the big bucks for.

Did you know Obama made it easier to bring foreign - workers here unilaterally in 2015?

Also, under Obama’s new rules, Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudicators will not be able to consider whether or not there are American workers available to do the job when determining whether to grant an L-1B visa. “A petitioner is not required to demonstrate the lack of readily available workers to perform the relevant duties in the United States,” according to Obama’s proposal.

In addition, the president seeks to lower the bar by which Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudicators make an overall judgment on L-1B applications. An applicant, or petitioner, does not have to prove that there is a need for an L-1B worker. Instead, he just has to make a case that an adjudicator can decide is “probably” true.

From the Obama rules: “Even if an officer has some doubt about a claim, the petitioner will have satisfied the standard of proof if it submits relevant, probative, and credible evidence that leads to the conclusion that the claim is ‘more likely than not’ or ‘probably’ true.”

Did you know Trump raised the amount of - H-2B visas allowed because

those poor corporations can't find anybody to work for them in this country?

You can throw stuff at me and I can throw it right back at you while all of them are not looking out for us and benefiting off our backs.

While I understand the reasoning behind people wanting something different, I don't understand how people didn't see that Trump is the biggest con of all of them.

So you don't care about Obama doing it but you - do Trump. You were for it before you

were against it?

I'm not trying to throw anything at you so you can "throw it right back" I'm not interested in politics. I'm interested in truth and US Law.

I have no clue what you are talking about? - I said fix it, all of it.

Where did I say I didn't care about Obama doing it but do Trump? When was I for it before I was against it?

I'll ask you, why is it okay for Trump but not Obama? I don't think it's right for either or any and said fix it all.

Frankly I think the party system sucks. It puts you against me and me against you and it should be all of us against them who aren't doing right by us.

If you are against LEGAL visas, then surely you must be - against ILLEGAL immigration.

did a "fact check" and said basically no problem.

Do you remember when AP fact checked “$2500 premium deduction”, “keep your plan” and “keep your doctor” and ”you tube video killed our ambassador”? Me either.

Unchecked immigration is changing the culture of the country and it has to stop.
