Statement of Senator Alan K. Simpson on the INS, October 2, 1996

Simpson's statement covers his concerns about the operations of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), including the agency’s transparency, effectiveness, and potential politicization, particularly in its enforcement of immigration laws and handling of naturalization programs. He questions the INS’s commitment to enforcement, its reliability in providing accurate information to Congress, and whether its actions have been influenced by political motives, especially in an election year.
