It is impossible to explain the situation. quoting Senator DURBIN. where the agency "with the premier responsibility to keep America safe is not being adequately funded." He goes on to say that again about placing America at risk. I would ask a couple of questions. How does taking funding from the lawful. authorized policies of Homeland Security that are supposed to identify people unlawfully here. to identify terrorists. and do other things to make America safehow does taking the money from them. to give legal status to 5 million illegal aliens make us safer? Does that make us safer? How absurd is that? Ken Palinkas. who is head of the union of CIS workers. the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council. said: Unfortunately and perilously overlooked in Washingtonour caseworkers are denied the urgent professional resources. enforcement tools. and mission support we need to keep out those who are bent on doing us harm. This is processing the 1 million or so per year who are given lawful status in America. He is not referring to the future when they are going to be expected to processimmediately. apparently5 million more. They dont have money to process the people today. These are his words. not mine. in a letter dated September of last year. He said: The 9/11 hijackers got into the U.S. on visas and now. 13 years later. we have around 5 million immigrants in the United States who overstayed their visas many from highrisk regions in the Middle East. Making matters more dangerous. the Obama Administrations executive amnesty. like S. 744 that he unsuccessfully lobbied for. would legalize visa overstays and cause millions additionally to overstay raising the threat level to America even higher. That is what the people who enforce the law every day are saying. In January of this year. a few weeks ago.
