As Congress attempts to crack down on loopholes in immigration, Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican, renewed his call for a new Border Security Agency.

"It is clear that if we are going to secure our borders and protect our country, then we must end the Immigration and Naturalization Service as we know it and form a new agency that has the ability and the will to enforce the law," Mr. Tancredo said.

He said confusion arises from having INS, the Coast Guard and the Border Patrol all enforce the borders. Mr. Tancredo also said nearly 300,000 people who have been ordered deported by the INS "are currently not accounted for."
