Therefore. even if the bill is not perfect and has lots of problems. lets vote for it anyway because it has that in it. Let me share some thoughts with my colleagues on that issue. Michael Cutler. who is a retired INSImmigration and Naturalization Servicesenior agent. participated in a press conference last Thursday at the National Press Club. It focused on the grave threat to national security the immigration bill represents. He also authored an oped in the Washington Times last Friday entitled "Immigration Bill a No Go." This is an experienced INS agent. He focused on the security question in the bill: Does it make us safer? This is what he said. I doubt our good friends who met in secret and wrote this bill asked his opinion. but this is what he says after reading it: If a personLet me quote: If a person lies about his or her identity and has never been fingerprinted in our country. what will enable the bureaucrats at the USCISThat is who will be checking his 24hour backgroundthe bureaucrats at USCIS to know that persons true identity? If the adjudicators simply make a fictitious identity through a computerized database. they will simply find the name has no known connection to any criminal or terrorist watch list. What is the value of that? Remember. we are talking about a false name. There is absolutely no way this program would have even a shred of integrity and the identity documents that would be given these millions of illegal aliens would enable every one of them to receive a drivers license. Social Security card. and other such official identity documents in a false name. Undoubtedly. terrorists would be among those applying to participate in this illconceived program.
