We are working on a law here. but the real issue is the failure of the Bush administration to enforce the current law. If we had the institutional removal program operating the way it used to. this person who killed people while driving drunk would not have been in this country. That person would have been deported. So as I say. I do not object to the amendment. I appreciate the clarification because I think that was an important clarification. but it does once again point out the real ineptitude of the Department. I remember watching just stunned after Hurricane Katrina came and devastated Louisiana and saying how Inept is FEMA. I hate to admit it. but many of the elements of the Department of Homeland Security are just as inept as what we saw at that time. and the immigration functions are prime among them. I worry that there are some things in this measure that are completely wrongheaded and there are some things in the bill that make some sense. The things that make sense will not be accomplished because the administration is so poor. they are so inept. they are so pathetic that they actually cannot administer the law. [] 1945 As I say.
