President Bush appointed James Ziglar commissioner of the INS one month before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Since then, Commissioner Ziglar has faced the most challenging set of circumstances ever to confront the INS. During his tenure, Ziglar has sought to balance the need to secure our borders against terrorist infiltration with America's tradition of welcoming peaceful, hardworking immigrants. As he prepares to leave his post at the end of 2002, Commissioner Ziglar will share his reflections on the tumultuous events of the past 14 months and pose some questions for the future.
