"Your blog is bullshit"- anonymous angry French reader.
Ding-Dong the witch is dead. The house voted 405 to 9 to do away with the INS and reconstitute it as two separate entities. Having dealt with INS for the past four years, getting my wife and her little girl here from Indonesia, I can attest it is a disaster. I just hope they don't glue it back together in poor bits and pieces.
"It is beyond time to restructure one of the worst-run agencies in the federal government," said House Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner Jr.
Of course my own Sen. Edward Kennedy (C-MA) is opposed to the destruction of the pathetic policy he has spent the past 25 years being the prime mover that led to the mess we now have. He said there are "significant problems with the House bill, and I am concerned that it does not provide the necessary leadership and authority to make immigration reform a reality. Now is not the time to diminish the power of the nation's immigration agency." Seeing as his leadership has been responsible for what we have now, I am not eager to see what his 'leadership' would give us this time around.
Now if they could just do the same with the tax-code.
