Summary

Immigration Reform and Accountability Act of 2001 - Replaces (in the Department of Justice) the Immigration and Naturalization Service with the Agency for Immigration Affairs, to be headed by the Associate Attorney General for Immigration Affairs. Establishes within the Agency: (1) the Bureau of Immigration Services and Adjudications; and (2) the Bureau of Immigration Enforcement. Sets forth Agency and Bureau offices and authorities. Provides for the transfer of all necessary personnel and allocation of appropriations. Establishes in the Treasury the Immigration Reorganization Transition Account. Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the Bureaus are equally important and should be adequately funded; and (2) adjudication and enforcement functions should operate at levels not below those in existence prior to enactment of this Act. Directs the Attorney General to: (1) establish an Internet-based system for accessing Immigration and Nationality Act benefit filings; (2) conduct an on-line filing and improved processing feasibility study; and (3) establish a Technology Advisory Committee.
