U.S. unable to handle immigration flood

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 U.S. officials say proposed immigration law changes would leave them without the technology and resources to deal with an expected flood of applicants.

Immigration officials repeatedly have said it was critical to first update an antiquated application process, The Washington Post reported Thursday.


Congress and the Bush administration want an overhaul of the laws for citizenship for as many as 12 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States through amnesty or a temporary guest-worker program.

Meanwhile, a project to replace the nationwide computer network has run out of money and is on hold.

The immigrants really are not the problem. It's the illegal aliens. And I disagree, we are able to handle the illegal alien problem. It's just Bush and congress choose not to.
