Family Security Matters » Publications » Put Homeland Security in Charge of Issuing Visas: "On December 30, 2009, I was a guest on a Monterey, California radio talk show discussing the events leading to the Christmas Day capture of a Nigerian national who attempted to detonate a bomb aboard a Detroit bound U.S. airliner.

During The Mark and Jim Show, I suggested that the responsibility of issuing visas to travel to the United States be given to the Department of Homeland Security and taken away from the Department of State.

I reasoned that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agent with real world experience would do a better job of screening foreign nationals who never intend to return home or have ill will towards the U.S.

The following Sunday morning, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) was on “This Week,” and suggested the same thing. I wonder if he heard me on the radio, or if great minds just think alike."
