/ May03 May 2005 U.S. officials say they have made progress in tightening immigration in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks. But congressional critics insist more needs to be done to keep country safe from terrorists. The 19 hijackers involved in the September 11 attacks entered the United States legally, though some were carrying fraudulent documents. Since then, the government has instituted a much tougher screening program that uses the latest technology to determine who is trying to enter the country and why. Recently, Homeland Security officials told Congress that they now fear al-Qaida operatives might try to enter the United States by illegally crossing the border with Mexico.
