We didnt know who was responsible. We had no idea. But the immigration commissioner had the foresight of saying. my God. somehow I know I am responsible. and you imagine being the agent who personally let these people in. I dont think we think about this. but tightening up and controlling the waiver process is going to be one of the things we have got to do so we dont look back and say. my God. we were warned. we knew this was coming. and why didnt we do more. Why werent we there to stop this from happening? All I have got to say is that I was out of politics. I was just meeting with them about immigration issues. but I saw the anguish and the frustration in his eyes and his voice realizing that somehow he knew the immigration agency that he was in charge of somehow contributed to this disaster. The fact is. I hope all of us start looking at this as being what are we doing today to make sure that we are not faced off in saying. my God. why didnt I do more.
