Passage Three This week some big Internet sites were so busy that they stopped working. Hackers or people who break into other people’s computers did it.

But this laxness (马虎) toward immigration fraud may be about to change. Congress has already taken some modest steps. The U. S. A. Patriot Act, passed in the wake of the Sept. 11 tragedy, requires the FBI, the Justice Depar
A. might have them extended without trouble
