Speaker. I will include for placement in the RECORD a letter by James Dorcy. a veteran of 30 years of the Justice Department. He worked most of his career with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. His statement. he writes to me. and I would like to put it in the RECORD. He says that "245(i) sets up an irreconcilable conflict of interest within the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The conflict arises with the agency charged with enforcing our laws against illegal immigration actually profit from illegal immigration as it does through section 245(i). With such a conflict of interest. the INS cannot possibly fulfill its duties and obligations to remove aliens ordered removed or even to seriously act to prevent illegal immigration." This is an immigration agent. somebody with 30 years experience. saying there is a problem here. a major problem. Mr. Chairman. let us be fair about this. There are people who did not like that vote of 320 votes. Let us not reverse the Immigration Reform Act. This compromise just says we will allow a compromise. but we will not allow a permanent extension of 245(i). I would challenge anyone again to look at the motion.
