The Immigration and Naturalisation Service, which formerly had a mandate for humanitarian relief as well as for border protection, has been converted into an arm of theDepartment of Homeland Security.The impact on particular groups has been devastating. The number of refugees resettled inAmerica declined from 90,000 a year before September 11th to less than a third that number, 27,000, this year. The Pakistani population ofAtlanticCounty, New Jersey has fallen by half. C、 Some 660 prisoners from 42 countries are being held in GuantanamoBay, some for nearly two years.
