Calling it "“an irresponsible overreach of the executive branch’s authority.," Senator Charles Grassley, ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, is criticizing an executive order issued by the president that would allow at least 100,000 Haitian nationals into the United States to be "reunited with their families."
“Which countries are next on President Obama’s list?” Mr. Grassley said. “Will there by medical screenings before entry? Will work permits be granted automatically? How will this affect American workers?”
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the branch of the Department of Homeland Security that handles immigration benefits cases, announced Friday the program to unite Haitians already living in the U.S. with family members abroad will ramp up in 2015.
At that time the State Department’s National Visa Center will begin notifying families who may be eligible to take part in the program. Those immigrants will allowed to apply for work permits while waiting for issuance of their permanent visas.
The agency said the program will expedite “safe, legal and orderly migration.”
A similar program that reunited Central American children with their parents had a fraud rate of about 70%.
“The rebuilding and development of a safe and economically strong Haiti is a priority for the United States. The Haitian Family Reunification Parole program promotes a fundamental underlying goal of our immigration system — family reunification,” said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. “It also supports broader U.S. goals for Haiti’s reconstruction and development by providing the opportunity for certain eligible Haitians to safely and legally immigrate sooner to the United States.”
Roughly 100,000 Haitians already approved to come to the U.S. are currently awaiting visas, The Associated Press reported.

Nobody has to be a genius to figure out what is going on here. Just as Michelle told 'minorities' to "wake up and vote", Obama is doing whatever he can to bring as many poor 'minority' voters into the country as he possibly can. He couldn't care less how badly it will hurt the country or ensure that so called 'minorities' will have a harder time getting a job or moving up the ladder. He couldn't care less if it turns us into just another third world country eroded by the Marxist mob. He couldn't care less that he is trampling on the founding principle of individual rights in a cynical effort to balkanize this country in the most destructive ways. It should be obvious to everyone by now that his primary goal is to dismantle and remake this country under an ideology that has been a proven failure throughout history, not to protect the Constitution or the citizenry that has benefitted by it.
