"Even more disturbing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Carolyn McNiven noted at the trial, at least 26 people who got into our country on fraudulent visas sold by Carroll committed crimes here, ranging from disorderly conduct to gang rape."- Foreign Service Journal November 2013"The Thomas Carroll Affair is a valuable addition to the corpus of literature Reexamining the conduct of the US Department of State, with its bureaucratic blind spots, undeserved elitism, and serious failings which allowed criminals and, just months later, nineteen terrorists, to enter the United State."- Homeland Security News Volume 52, December 2013
