The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a law by a majority vote that dissolves the Immigration Office and replaces it with two new agencies. According to the new law, one of these agencies, which will be called the Immigration Agency, will review citizenship applications, while the other, which will be responsible for executive functions, will monitor the country's borders and the movement of foreign nationals. Supporters of this plan argue that the new system will clarify the hierarchy or chain of authority and responsibilities, while opponents claim that having two agencies complicates matters. The White House supports this plan, but the Senate is busy preparing an alternative proposal. The current Immigration Office has repeatedly been accused of inefficiency and errors, especially after the September 11 terrorist attacks.
