if I may respond to that, that is exactly what the INS says. They cannot monitor this program. They don't have the people to monitor it. They don't know whether they are staying or not. But if you talk to these people running these limited partnerships and consulting firms who are the people really making money out of this--you have to pay them $50,000 up front to pull this scam off. And INS will tell you that they cannot monitor the very question, the very point that the Senator from Massachusetts makes. They are not complying with any of these laws. INS will tell you some of them are and some of them aren't, but they cannot monitor it. The law is bad and the enforcement is impossible.
