On the INS: Doris Meissner was head of the INS during the Clinton Administration, when Bill Clinton tasked Al Gore with "Re-Inventing Government". The cornerstone of that much ballyhooed achievement was Al Gore boasting how he had "Streamlined the INS". We found out later that was code for allowing illegal aliens to flood into the country so they could vote in the 1996 presidential election.
Al Gore totally corrupted the INS, he did it to benefit Clinton/Gore's re-election. Only now is it becoming known how broken INS really is. Explaining how it got that way, to the American people, so that the Bush Administration can fix it, is imperative.
When the Bush Administration attempts to clean up INS, (and he better do it way before the 2004 election heats up, we know Democrats will play the race card, accusing the Bush administration of unfairly treating black and brown immigrants.
