That is why we have had a problem for so long. and frustration and anger gets built up. People sometimes call in to radio stations and say things they shouldnt say that are unkind. A lot of it is a direct response to a failure of the Congress and the executive branch to do what is required to create a lawful system of immigration. For Heavens sake. dont we all agree with that concept. a lawful system of immigration? What interests should it serve? It should serve the national Interest. the American interest. I asked Secretary Chertoff of Homeland Security and Secretary Gutierrez of Commerce at a hearing of the Judiciary Committee not long ago. what should a lawful system of immigration do? Should it not serve the national interest? They said: Yes. sir. Professor Borjas. a Cuban refugee. at Harvard has written a book on immigration. He said: If you tell me what interest you wish to serve. I can help you draft an immigration policy that will work. For example. if you say it should be the national interest. I can help you achieve that.
