Dear Editor:
I'd like to say thank you to "Greg Berk, Esq." for his letter on 10/24/02. He was absolutely correct when he wrote about the enormity of the tasks facing the folks at INS. He was also absolutely correct when he wrote that "constructive criticism is good."
While Mr. Berk addressed his comments to the "leadership of the Department of Justice and the INS", I'd ask that the same "courtesy" and "respect" be shown to the employees "on the bottom of the food chain" at INS. They're buried by the mountain of work that faces INS year after year; they labor with no respect, little encouragement and little training. If this country ever decides what it wants to do about immigration and if these employees are given adequate training and resources, they can and will do the job the way it should be done.
