You can always go to the webpages for the U.S. House and Senate. Through those pages you can see the congressional schedule and the various bills under consideration.

NEW: Homeland Security Report:\nhttp://www.house.gov/mccaul/pdf/Investigaions-Border-Report.pdf \n\n40 pages of reports and pictures of pure insanity!\n\nDuring the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries.  Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border.

quote from cited link\nquote\nsmuggling\nThe US Government estimates that 500,000 illegal migrants are brought into the United States annually by organized alien smuggling networks; another estimated half-million enter without the assistance of alien smugglers. Most illegal migrants enter the United States overland from Mexico or Canada. \nAccording to US Government estimates, some 500,000 to 600,000 illegal migrants who entered the United States in 1999 were Mexican nationals, and another 225,000 were Central American nationals. \nChinese smugglers, known as snakeheads, often move aliens into the United States by maritime vessels, including offshore transfers of migrants, but also transit South and Central America, Mexico, and Canada. The US Government estimates that 30,000 to 40,000 Chinese were smuggled into the United States in 1999. \nAlien smuggling contributes to the broader problem of increasing numbers of foreign nationals illegally resident in the United States, as well as in other relatively prosperous countries, who are straining social and economic resources and contributing to rising crime and anti-immigrant sentiment. Illegal aliens undermine wages and working conditions for legal employees, increasing the potential health and safety risks to the work force. Illegal immigration also increases the burden and cost of some government social programs. \nunquote\n\nhttp://www.fas.org/irp/threat/pub45270chap2.html#4\n\nnote: and stop being so focused on mexico\nhere link topeople smuggling in England\nexerpt from cited link\nquote\nThe illegal immigrants, smuggled in from the Kurdish areas of Turkey, pay between £3,000 and £5,000 for journeys which often take months, said police. \nunquote\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4329374.stm\n\nAND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....ever hear of MS13??\nquote from cited link\nquote\nIn Texas and the Rio Grande area, MS-13 has become particularly profitable.  U.S. and Mexican authorities acknowledge that MS-13 has been heavily involved in drug smuggling and human trafficking operations.  They estimate that there are over 200 active cells (cells are groups of at least 20 members) operating in the states that border Mexico.  Rumors abound concerning high-profile terrorist organizations contacting MS-13 for assistance in crossing borders in these areas.\nunquote\nhttp://www.altereddimensions.net/crime/MS13Gang.htm\n\nIF YOU LOOK AT ONLY ONE LINK...the third one ...about ms13 is most enlightening.\ntoo much focus on Mexicans.\nThere are a whole bunch of other people entering the US illegally.

Hardly breaking news. We need to vote the rascals out in Nov. 2006. This will put pressure on President Bush, and it will bring up the possibility of impeachment.

if you can, go through 3rd party sources, i.e. the BBC or something like that. There aren't too many places in this country that are objective anymore, so there is likely to be a bias to most of what you find concerning them. Good luck, and don't believe anyone's spin, learn everything for yourself. Never trust a politition.

It is so ridiculous that congressmen are using statistics when debating on immigration, our economy and the illegals. I saw a show yesterday on MSNBC and they covered the false statistics being thrown by politicians; in particular that it costs 8 billion a year to "support" public assistance, health care, etc. which goes to illegal immigrants; researchers discovered that the same illegals are contributing $7.5 billion each year to our economy, so our tax money isn't funding that much in reality.  Why aren't they informing us about that?  For the same reason that there is the saying, "there are two sides to every story!" We are definitely contributing more money to the war in Iraq, than any other "program".
