More funding for the State Department would be good.   They're badly  
underfunded and really overworked.   But the 100 million canard is  
just that - there are procedures in place for managing this problem,  
and they've historically worked.   The problem we are having now is  
the result of a real change in the way visa applications are being  
processed - specifically, an increase in the number of perfectly  
legitimate applications that are being rejected.
