Tech violations of visa requirements or other laws, INS officials failed to enforce the

jSearch^ "Every aspect of the U.S. immigration system has been penetrated by terrorists,
so our response must be equally broad," says Steven Camarota, director of
Advanced Search
research for the center. "Clearly our immigration system is critically important to
preventing attacks on U.S. soil. But it doesn't have to be foolproof. If you just
catch some of the people, you can often cause a large conspiracy to unravel."

Daily Briefing in your The report's unflattering portrayal of the INS is the latest blow to an agency that
inbox Congress has targeted for reorganization, largely because of the agency's failure
to enforce immigration laws and keep track of immigrants and visitors. The INS
does not have enough people to investigate and arrest all visa violators, agency
spokesman Russ Bergeron says. There are 1,950 immigration agents nationwide
and an estimated 7 million to 8 million undocumented immigrants — about one
agent for every 4,100 immigrants, Bergeron says.

The INS does not have a system to monitor visa expirations and does not track
the whereabouts of foreign tourists.

"When you look at the wide range of important tasks, and the number of INS
agents is smaller than most metropolitan police departments, it becomes rather
obvious that there is a serious lack of resources," Bergeron says.

The analysis of the 48 men linked to terrorist plots here indicates that INS and
consular officials do not sufficiently scrutinize visa applicants. It also says U.S.
agencies and foreign governments do not communicate about terrorism watch
lists and intelligence reports, and adds that the United States lacks immigration
enforcement within the nation's borders.
