What ought to bother everyone more than the two visas--is how many total (hundreds, thousands?) visas were sent out and how many went to people under deportation orders and otherwise hiding out.

If INS controls allowed them to "misstep" regarding the infamous 19--and that fact revealed only by the flight school, after the INS tried to coverup--there can be no question the bulk of the "problem" is being kept from public view.

With PC Minetta at the airports and the ex-Senate Sgt at Arms running INS at the borders,
the USA is in--and is going to stay in--big trouble.

Larry, Shep, and Moe would be a big improvement.
