Tom Tancredo: “I think we have seen this before, we have, in fact. It is called the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act…”

“I think we have seen this before, we have, in fact. It is called the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, but we passed it. So please do not be confused by the rhetoric on the floor here that it is centered on that part of the bill. It is a good part of the bill. I support that part of the bill. But there is no reason to support it again because, guess what, we passed it. It is done. It is over there. What we have here is the same wording, they drug that back up, and stuck amnesty onto it so as to essentially, I would guess, well, I do not know, and I will not judge the motive, but I will simply say that it is somewhat confusing for Members when they think that they might be coming up here to vote on enhanced border security and, in fact, of course, they have already done it. In terms of whether or not we can rely upon the INS to accurately and conscientiously do the background work to determine whether or not the people who are making application are in fact legitimate in their request, let me just bring to the attention of my colleagues the most recent in a series of incredible, scathing reports about the INS. This one happens to be February 15. A GAO report finds pervasive and serious problems with immigration benefit fraud.”
