>>Like I said, it was years ago. Long before Bush and Chertoff took office.<<
Point taken. However, we don’t know if the feds had information that he had moved without sending in the required change of address form. In a country which had control of its immigration policies, had enough agents, and cooperation between local and federal authorities, (we have none of the above) an audit should have revealed that he should have been deported. I doubt that his visa was valid for 17 years with no renewal necessary.
Presidents from Reagan to W are to blame for this, but Bush and Chertoff brought this to our attention by pushing amnesty (with a hypocritical promise of enforcement) so hard, so the ball is in their court. I am not holding my breath until they decide to do what is needed.
