Michelle Malkin » Memo to Washington: Clear the damn backlogs first

As Michelle Malkin points out, the government can't handle the current applications for legal immigrants so how could they possibly deal with the proposed Z visa system in a timely manner?  The proposed system is actually rigged to let the illegal in unless the government can show that there's an issue within 24 hours.  That's basically the same thing as skipping the background check since we're too busy.

Over the last several years, I've noted the following immigration backlogs that continue to plague our homeland security system:

*The backlog of 600,000-plus fugitive deportee cases.

*The backlog of 4 million immigration applications of all kinds.

*The backlog of an estimated 100,000 FBI background checks for legal immigrant applicants.

*The disappearance of 111,000 citizenship applications.
