And from the desk of Siskind, an immigration attorney we have the following encouraging thoughts- "So it is hard to delivery a eulogy for the INS. And besides, there would be few
mourners at this funeral. Conceivably, all we will see is a name change and
added chaos as three agencies operate independently. I am an optimist by nature,
however, and believe that after a period of uncertainty and natural difficulties
in the transition, the change will be a good thing. Hopefully a services agency
that is not trying to be an enforcement agency at the same time can actually do
a decent job providing services. And maybe Homeland Security can increase the
professionalism and morale problems plaguing the INS' enforcement efforts over
the last several years. Some of my colleagues have said that they would rather
maintain the status quo (the devil we know) versus something even worse in the
future. But at least when it comes to service at the INS, it is hard to see how
things could get worse (well, maybe things could always get worse, but I
shudder to think what that would be like). This President wants to win the next
election and knows that immigrant voters are the key. So he has a real stake in
making the change work. A successful transition and a dramatic improvement in
service at the INS would go a long way to showing he is a friend of immigrants"
