re: "Should the Visa Function Be Transferred from State to Homeland Security?"

Gary Chodarow at the Chodarow Law Offices ("U.S. & China Visa Law Blog") examined some of the history behind this proposal.

He concluded:

"But it seems to me that the visa function requires balancing the need to facilitate travel and honor diplomatic principles with the law enforcement function of maintaining secure borders. These are functions that a foreign service officer–based on their training and agency culture–may well be better equipped to make than a DHS official."
