Senators question Swift immigration raids
Tagged: Chertoff, Michael Chertoff, RaidsPosted on: January 24th, 2007“After a closed-door meeting Monday with Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, senators from the affected states said the raid exposed flaws in the federal government and in a program designed to help employers screen for illegal immigrants.
Among the concerns, senators reported, were that agencies cant share information about stolen identities and that programs designed to catch illegal immigrants allow many lawbreakers to slip through the cracks.
“I cant think of a system that would be better designed to fail,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said.”
