In 1996. we required. as I said. this USVISIT system to have an exit component by 2005. and it is still not complete. Do you think that in 1996. Members of the Congress and Members of the Senate went out and told their constituents that we are working on Immigration. we passed a bill that will have an exit system in 10 years or 9 years. and that will help us enforce the law. and I am so proud we passed that? What good is it to pass it if it never happens? It hasnt happened yet. and it is not required through the trigger. which is the only thing that can require it to work. According to the Pew Hispanic Centers 2006 report entitled "Modes of Entry for Unauthorized Migrant Population": 4 to 5.5 million of the current illegal alien population "entered legally" and are nonimmigrant visa overstayers. Despite what we know about the overstay rates. the USVISIT exit system is not made part of the trigger. That is a very big loophole.
