Michael Castle: “But if we look at the record, even of the individuals who were the terrorists who came into this country, if we looked…”

On the recordOctober 12, 2001
But if we look at the record, even of the individuals who were the terrorists who came into this country, if we looked at the testimony of the head of INS yesterday, we will find that they do not even know where some of these people came from. They have no record of them at all. In other cases they were dealing with expired visas, students or workers who were here on expired visas. Our whole visa system of tracking these millions, and it is millions, of people who are in the United States of America on visas is frankly in a state of total disrepair and needs immediate addressing.

I think political concerns can get in the way of it all. I hope it doesn't, but that is a part that concerns me a great deal.
