Emily Anderson- immigrants accidentally let into U.S.

A recent article posted by Washington Post talks about how the United States accidentally allowed about 800 immigrants into the country. These immigrants were said to be from "concerning" countries and could pose a threat to our nation. Since most of them used different names, they were allowed admittance into the U.S. Some of them even acquired jobs in airports and government places. Now that the U.S. government has realized their fault, they are rebuking some of the immigrants' rights to citizenship to secure the safety of our country.

This relates back to an information gap that happened in the late 1900s when the government switched from paper documents to technological documents to keep track of finger prints. Because of that information gap, lots of the information of immigrants were lost. That loss of information from decades ago is costing the U.S. now. In my opinion, it is vert scary that this accident happened because it could lead to fatal attacks by other countries in the United States. I understand that most of them were probably harmless, but it is still a scary thought that one of them maybe wasn't.
