I agree that we should get this information. and. actually. I believe that. under current law. the department is required to give us this information. In fact. there is an Office of Immigration Statistics buried in the bureaucracy of this department that is supposed to provide information to us on a variety of subjects. I would just note that this is an agency that not only cannot administer. it is an agency that cannot count. We have had. for example. and it is a different issue. certainly. than terrorism. but I think several years in the last half decade where they have failed to count the number of visas when there were limits on employment visas. and then they say a big oops. they have given too many. And sometimes they even try to sneak around and deduct the overassessment from the next years. They cannot count because they do not have any technology.
