Justice Department investigators could not locate for questioning nearly half of 4,112 aliens in America they believed had information on would-be terrorists, because U.S. immigration officials didn't know where to find them, the General Accounting Office said yesterday.
The GAO said 1,851 aliens could not be found by anti-terrorism investigators because the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service lacked current or reliable address information, according to a report to Sen. Strom Thurmond, South Carolina Republican and chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on immigration.
INS made little or no effort to tell aliens they were required to notify the agency of their current address, the GAO said, and there was no INS enforcement of existing penalties for noncompliance. The accounting office said INS "does not appear to have enforced the removal penalty for noncompliance since the early 1970s."
