This at the San diego - Mexico border today Officials Find 20 Illegal Immigrants Stuffed In RV POSTED: 8:25 am PDT June 14, 2007 Customs and border patrol officers said they discovered 20 suspected illegal immigrants stuffed into a recreational vehicle in San Ysidro. According to officials, they were hidden in various areas of a California-plated RV that entered the United States Tuesday morning through the San Ysidro border station. Officials said they arrested a 54-year-old man who was driving the RV. He was a U.S. citizen with a California driver's license who lives in Tijuana, according to border officials. A canine was used to screen the 1978 Dodge motor home, and the dog alerted agents to conduct a further search. Inside, officers said they found 16 males and four females concealed in cabinets, a closet, a restroom, within a sleeper couch and in the passenger area. One of the passengers was a 12-year-old girl. One man was from Guatamala, and the others were all Mexican citizens, officials said. Three of the undocumented individuals were detained as witnesses, and the others will be returned to their countries of origin, officials said.

hey man!!!!

I cannot fathom what would prompt McConnell to promote a bill that is opposed by 70% of the population of the US. He's elected to ignore us?

Correspondence from Senator Coburn

June 14, 2007

Dear

Thank you for contacting me about the problem of illegal immigration in our country. It is extremely important to me that I hear the opinions and concerns of Oklahomans, especially on such a pressing issue.

As you know, a bi-partisan group of senators reached a compromise with President Bush on a comprehensive reform bill (S. 1348), which was debated by the Senate and ultimately failed to receive enough support for a final vote for passage. Please be assured, I was opposed to this bill and I am glad the legislation did not succeed.

First, I am disappointed in the way Senate leadership handled this immigration bill. It was released in the middle of the night, merely days before debate began, bypassing the Senate Judiciary Committee and preventing senators from taking the time necessary to scrutinize such lengthy, divisive legislation. Furthermore, debate time was extremely limited and very few amendments to the bill were allowed consideration.

Although there were good provisions in the bill, such as a merit-based legal immigration system, the overall bill would have been harmful to our nation and would have done nothing to solve our problems with illegal immigration. I previously outlined fundamental principles that would guide my votes during immigration reform. I support legislation that secures our borders and enforces existing law, but does not contain an amnesty provision of any kind. Unfortunately, S. 1348 offered amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrants and did little to secure our porous borders.

During the debate, I offered an amendment to require that existing border security and immigration laws be enforced, and the enforcement be certified by Congress, before any provisions in the new bill could take effect. The American people expect their laws to be upheld, but have lost faith in Congress and the federal government to defend our nation from illegal immigration. Unfortunately, my amendment was not agreed to, and in the end, I could not support the existing legislation.

It is likely the Senate will consider immigration reform legislation again in the near future. Please know my position on the issue has not changed, and I will continue actively working for reform that protects our borders and upholds our rule of law.

Again, thank you for continuing to contact me on this issue. Best wishes.

Sincerely, A

Tom Coburn, M.D.

I wonder if there’s a market solution, like patronizing restaurants that will post an affidavit of compliance, etc.

[sofaman]

you are such a cynic...or a realist, in this case..
