U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) still isn't ready to handle a massive guest-worker program, even though President Bush and the Senate are pushing for one to be part of any immigration-enforcement bill, a former agency official will tell lawmakers today.
"An administrative and national-security nightmare already exists at USCIS," Michael Maxwell, who until this year ran the agency's internal affairs division, will testify, according to a copy of his prepared statement obtained by The Washington Times. "Implementation of the Senate bill would codify the nightmare and ensure that the criminals, terrorists and foreign intelligence operatives who have already gamed our immigration system are issued legal immigration documents and allowed to stay permanently."
