The Associated Press recently reported that Republican congressman Tom Tancredo has called into question the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) methods in handling a document containing survey results. The survey reportedly indicates, among other things, that nearly half of all immigrants lacking proper documentation taken into custody between January 7 and January 27 of this year said that they believed the Bush administration would grant amnesty to temporary workers, as per the president’s plan. Rep. Tancredo cited concerns such as security risks and increased incidents of unlawful immigration as his complaints with DHS and White House behavior. Both immigration advocates and DHS spokeswoman Kristi Clemens denied the importance of the survey, calling it “silly” and “out of context.”
