the bill. now, congress is the branch of government that's most accountable to the american people, and if the people don't believe the border is secure or that our visa system actually works or that the country's economic needs are being met, it is congress that should be held accountable. it's also congress that can most readily be held accountable through regular elections that occur every two years in both houses, with each senator being held accountable at least every six years. therefore, congress must play a predominant role in approving, overseeing and verifying these reforms as well as ensuring the reforms are being implemented correctly and achieving the desired results. this bill, however, leaves congress and the american people dangerously out of the loop. second, the bill surrenders control of immigration law to the secretary of homeland security as well as to a handful of other unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in washington. this is a problem that permeates the federal governm
