New Rules Proposed for Religious Workers

Stephen Dinan / The Washington Times:
Federal immigration officials, trying to get a handle on a years-old problem of rampant fraud among religious worker visa applications, proposed new rules yesterday that would require the government to visit churches or other religious groups to make sure they really exist. A study by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has shown one in every three applications for a religious worker visa is fraudulent, and a Government Accountability Office report said there's been at least "one case where law enforcement had identified an applicant as a suspected terrorist."
