McCaul on the Department of Homeland Security Mishandling Thousands of Green Cards

Statement

Issues: National Security Immigration

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) issued the following statement on the heels of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General report highlighting the mishandling of thousands of Green Cards over the past three years.

Chairman McCaul: "This is unacceptable. We cannot let "free passes' into America fall into the wrong hands and be used by terrorists, criminals, or others to hide amongst us. Whether it's aviation security or the security of our immigration system, the American people are losing faith that DHS is able to do its job. This is yet another wake up call that it's time for sweeping reform across the Department. The American people are fed up with business as usual. They are demanding, once and for all, that we secure our borders, enforce our immigration laws, and shut down all illegal pathways into the United States. And Congress and the new President are going to honor that request."
