Initially the ban had been ordered to insure that the 1980 census count was accurate. While I disagreed with that judgment because it does not seem to me you maintain respect for the law by suspending its enforcement. the necessity for the ban no longer exists since the census count is over. Now the INS is clamoring for reinstatement of its right to conduct these raids. But the delay continues evidently due to political considerationssomething not unheard of in this administration. I wonder does this administration ever do the right thing regardless of the "alleged" political consequences? The immigration laws exist. Mr. Attorney General. and your duty is to enforce them.
