Mr. Chairman, a major contributor to America's illegal immigration problem is the inability of the U.S. Customs and Immigration Service to process legal immigration applications in a timely manner. USCIS uses horribly antiquated systems for processing applications. So antiquated, in fact, they are still tracking immigration applications using paper and sending them around the country with the U.S. Postal Service. Every customer of a major bank in this country can track his or her accounts, payments, and transactions on line in real time.
