The agencies included the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Education, Health and Human Services, the Department of Education, the Department of Defense, and the USDA.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis month, the Interagency Strategy for Promoting Naturalization was released. The Obama administration had its own project for turning aliens into citizens as quickly as possible in order to get them on the voting rolls, but the new strategy goes beyond anything Obama tried to do.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe new strategy begins with using DHS to assemble all the available data on the \"potential naturalization-eligible populations\" and breaking it down by age, sex, and zip code, as well as other demographic details, to target \"outreach\".\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBy \"outreach\", the working group of agencies headed by Biden appointees means converting aliens into citizens.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat data will allow the government and a spectrum of “partners”, most of them Democrat allies, to target resident aliens the way a corporation targets potential customers of its products.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EExcept that the data is coming from the government and the product is voting for Democrats.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile citizenship is in theory non-partisan, the strategy makes it clear that it's targeting potential Democrat voting blocs such as refugees, asylum seekers, and agricultural workers, not to mention “underserved and marginalized communities” through \"community-based organizations\".  What that means is that the federal government is going to be pumping even more money into Democrat community groups to encourage them to turn resident aliens into citizens for a massive voter turnout operation funded by taxpayers.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe federal government won't just be financing a Democrat turnout operation, it's mobilizing all of its resources to provide the data and the logistics across a variety of federal agencies.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut the money potentially won't just be coming from the government.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOne of the more curious items mentions exploring \"the feasibility of accepting private donations to support the USCIS Citizenship and Integration Grant Program\".

That's not dramatically new, but the goal of the new strategy is to have every component of the government push citizenship.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe strategy doesn’t just run the expected informational campaigns through the post office or museums, but it also uses parts of the government that the aliens are expected to interact more closely and meaningfully with, like HUD, SSA, and the Department of Labor, to function as citizenship offices. Some federal agencies are barely doing their actual jobs, but will now also be tasked with finding new voters to help the Democrats survive a backlash from existing voters.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut the strategy doesn't stop there. Instead the Biden administration is going to encourage Mexico and other countries to promote the benefits of American citizenship to their own citizens.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe strategy proposes to engage in \"outreach to foreign embassies and consular networks that may be interested in providing information and resources on citizenship\".\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhy would foreign consulates be interested in selling American citizenship to their citizens?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe answer is remittances.

Mario Cuomo, Andrew’s father, had been projected as the leading Democrat presidential candidate. After Mario chose not to run, Andrew Cuomo and the Clinton administration had been negotiating over a Supreme Court seat for his father which never came to pass.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe HUD job wasn’t glamorous, but it offered all kinds of useful opportunities\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.villagevoice.com\/2006\/08\/29\/andrew-cuomos-2-million-man\/\"\u003E including\u003C\/a\u003E allegedly a developer who acted as a major financier for Cuomo in his personal and political life.

Cuomo and his Democrat cohorts launched an unprecedented campaign to smear an inspector general of their own agency as a vicious racist.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAt its peak, a Cuomo crony declared that Gaffney \"is under investigation by the FBI and members of Congress, that a dozen of her employees have made racial complaints against her, that the bipartisan U.S. Conference of Mayors has passed formal resolutions on a pattern of racism by the IG and that Deval Patrick, the former associate attorney general for civil rights, is now investigating her on the most serious charges of racism in the department's history.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe accusations of racism, like the push by Lantos and Cuomo to investigate the IG's office for downloading porn, were garbage, but they accomplished their goal. Gaffney came off as unhinged and running a scandalous office. Enough mud was thrown that some of it stuck. And by then no one was paying attention to any investigations coming out of the IG’s office.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECuomo won. America lost.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe tactics that Cuomo previewed against Gaffney would be utilized to secure the governor’s mansion and suppress critics and accusers. All of that could have been prevented, but the Democrats chose to stand against an inspector general, who had been appointed by Bill Clinton, and with Andrew Cuomo, who had a political future in New York and maybe D.C.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhy would any Democrat take on a possible future senator, governor, or even president?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECuomo’s allies included numerous House Democrats, and Deval Patrick, the future governor of Massachusetts, and Obama’s favored presidential candidate. And some journalists speculated at the time that Cuomo’s campaign had the tacit approval of the Clinton administration. It would be rather surprising if it did not when you consider its sheer scope.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIf the Clintons had signed off on the campaign, it would not have been the worst abuse by a corrupt clan that counted Jeffrey Epstein among its friends, and which had been accused of sexual assault and victim intimidation. Bill Clinton had described Cuomo’s father as a mafioso in a conversation with Gennifer Flowers. Clintonites in the media attempted to claim that the conversations were fake, with George Stephanopoulos eventually admitting that they were real, but arguing that “they were selectively edited in a way — to create some — some impression.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat better qualification could there be for a position as a top journalist at ABC News?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhether it was Clinton’s abuses or Cuomo’s abuses, the media has a history of denying the obvious for as long as possible until it becomes politically opportune to finally tell the truth.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe truth won't mean reporting honestly on Cuomo’s nursing home death toll or his role in the subprime mortgage crisis. Cuomo is one of those unique politicians who did more damage to the country than any dozen natural disasters and tops the casualty toll from some wars. And yet the only thing the media wants to topple him for is his recent history of sexual aggressiveness.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat too doesn’t come as much of a surprise in a state where a Cuomo predecessor, Governor Elliot Spitzer, was accused of having a thing for choking women. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who was being touted as a potential governor down the road, resigned after being accused of choking and threatening to kill a number of women. There’s a pattern here.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd this kind of thing is practically a requirement for Democrat politicians in Albany.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn some cases, such as Jeffrey Epstein, the #MeToo issue is the issue. But with politicians, whether it’s Bill Clinton or Andrew Cuomo, it’s the topper on a layer cake of much worse crimes. Bad people abuse power in proportion to how much of it they have and top elected officials have a lot more scope for abusing power than movie producers or hedge fund tycoons.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe media is determined to help Democrats cover up for Cuomo, even as they’re trying to bury him by concentrating on the set of #MeToo allegations that are the least damaging to the Dems. That way the Sandernistas who are trying to take down Cuomo can smoothly step into his place. The party gets a shakeup, but the same old dirty business can continue on in Albany.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E#MeToo is only a symptom of the sociopathic abuses of power by Cuomo. The bigger issues, the bodies and the dollars, would do too much damage to the same corrupt Democrat system that had enabled Cuomo all these decades. And the system is protecting itself even now.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENo one knew anything for decades, but now everyone always knew everything. Like old Stalinists after Khruschev’s speech, the former Cuomosexuals line up to denounce him.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe truth is that they all knew. And what they still know is a lot worse than what they’re telling.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter all this time, the media still won’t touch Cuomo. Not where it could hurt the Democrats.\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sultanknish.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EDaniel Greenfield\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
