White House backs bill to split INS

Bush administration’s shift surprises agency officials

THE WASHINGTON POST

April 25 — The Bush administration said yesterday that it will support a House bill that would dismantle the Immigration and Naturalization Service and split it into two agencies, a major shift for the White House, which had hoped to revamp the agency administratively.

THE ADMINISTRATION’S announcement came less than 24 hours before the House was scheduled to vote on the bill, proposed by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.), which has overwhelming support among House members.

It passed overwhelmingly at the House 400+ for the bill a dozen against it and a few abstainees.

Now its a matter of Senate and the Prez of course.
