On Immigration: $127M for INS to reduce immigrant visa backlog

Senator Dianne Feinstein is prime sponsor of a bill aimed at reducing the backlog of naturalization and visa applications. “I would hope [candidates] would endorse this bill and urge prompt passage of this legislation by Congress,” said Feinstein, who is pushing for $127 million for the agency to hire staff and boost computer operations without increasing application fees.
