“As everyone knows, the Judiciary has, for almost 2 years now, been working on the expected division of labor in the Immigration and Naturalization Service. On the one hand, we want to streamline the enforcement part of Immigration and Naturalization Service while, at the same time, giving due attention to the process, naturalization and immigrant services, on the other side. I am happy to report that the rule that we are considering now would allow debate, eventually, on the plan of the Select Committee on Homeland Security to take the enforcement border security portions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and make it a part of the new Cabinet level of Homeland Security, while leaving in the Justice Department those functions to which we have alluded as being immigrant services, naturalization, process, et cetera. This, in one fell swoop, accomplishes the bifurcation purpose with which we started this term's deliberations on the structure of Immigration and Naturalization Service.”
