If Bush truly wanted to turnaround the INS he never would have installed a self-professed Open Borders Libertarian like Ziglar to head up the agency. So I'm not sure what you see in any so-called reforms that the Bush administration is making, aside from some cynical window dressing.

In fact, this action lowers the chance that the Feds may someday have to declare martial law by reducing America’s exposure to terrorists.
