Come illegally and have your status adjusted for only $1.000." Mr. Speaker. 245(i) also creates a very real threat to our Nations national security and to the safety of our citizens. While many aliens who come to this country illegally do so to find a better way of life. others have more sinister reasons. The recent arrest in New York of two possible suicide bombers illustrates how easily criminals and terrorists can evade our immigration controls. Simply put. 245(i) makes it easier for dangerous criminals and terrorists to enter and remain in this country. Worse yet. they can stay without being subjected to criminal background checks in their home countries.
