“It shows the INS going into the wastebasket of history. In reality, Mr. Chairman, it is not harsh enough. It ought to be going through a shredder on the way to a wastebasket. For this agency and what it has done, we need to shred it, gather the shreds, burn them, gather the ashes, and distribute them among the four corners of the world so this agency, as it is currently constituted, can never again come together and endanger our security and be a disgrace to this country as the INS has been. However, now we know in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, made successful in large part by the deficiencies in the INS, we now know that the problems with INS are more than an irritant, more than a waste of money, they are a threat to our Nation's security. We can no longer ignore them.”
