FBI Investigation & Controversial Immigration Program

A federal grand jury in Albuquerque is looking at how a Beverly Hills company (CDR Financial Products, Inc.) received a bond contract in New Mexico after making $100,000 donation to Governor Bill Richardson's political action committee - Obama's new Secretary of Commerce. 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is current interviewing staff members that may have been involved in the decision making process.  

"The New Mexico probe comes two years after the FBI searched CDR's offices as part of a nationwide investigation into whether banks and advisers conspired to overcharge local governments on financial deals. That probe by the New York office of the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division is ongoing, and CDR says its is cooperating."

Obama's new immigration policy members, T. Alexander Aleinikoff was in charge of a controversial immigration program, under the Bill Clinton administration, that granted citizenship to minimum of 80,000 immigrant with criminal records.  

According to the Government Accountability Office and the Inspector General's office, "Citizenship USA failed to address national security concerns, did not develop or coordinate anti-fraud operations, and failed to ensure that foreign nationals seeking naturalization underwent law-enforcement background checks....  Many naturalization cases were adjudicated without INS ever locating or reviewing the applicant's files."

The program that targeted districts in heavily Democrat areas of Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami New York and San Francisco pushed for the naturalization of 1.2 million immigrants, where more than 180,000 applications never received the proper FBI fingerprint analysis.
