"The reports [contain] account numbers, social security numbers, identifiers... It is an enormous identity-theft risk." "unauthorized disclosure ... can compromise the national security of the United States" And a small-town MAGA assistant police chief can get this info about anyone he wants?!

"It's awfully strange that, when we started trying to follow the money through FinCen, my agency was immediately cut off,” Taylor agreed during the Las Vegas gathering[.] Uh, no. That's called people realizing YOU'RE ROOTING AROUND IN FINCEN, WHICH IS A FEDERAL CRIME

This. Very much this. FinCEN is extremely protective of its data. And yes, law enforcement does use it to pursue money laundering cases. And no, it absolutely should not be in the hands of a wingnut election denier doing the usual "We're going to insinuate we found something important!"

Most days, if I have time I walk to the 'first top' of the mountain commonage, and that's where I am right now. Up here, all the endless nonsense and debate seem to vanish, with a very special light on the ocean, the breeze in my face, a pair of ravens croaking overhead. Peace.

Visa backlogs aren't a product of limited adjudication resources, they're the product of visa caps Congress set in 1990, as well as rules which provide that no one country can get more than 7% of the visas in any category in a single year (even if more than 7% of applications are from that country).
