WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday approved three new bills targeting illegal immigration, including one that would make it a crime to tunnel under the border and another making it easier to deport gang members who are not citizens.
The action followed House approval last week of a proposed 700-mile fence along the border with Mexico — legislation the Senate is now debating — and passage earlier this week of a bill meant to prevent illegal immigrants from voting.
The measures stem from the push by House Republican leaders for the federal government to focus on securing the nation's border before dealing with other immigration-related issues.
House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) hailed Thursday's bills as evidence that GOP lawmakers were "serious about securing our border and enforcing our law." He said he was hopeful the bills could be on President Bush's desk "in a matter of weeks."

Have the Senate and President fast track this to pass it and we'll have a party then.
Until then, it is like a good rumor only.

Yeah tom dashcle would be very sad that a bill aiming to stop illegals and other forms of voter fraud got passed today.
I support the House. The US is finally catching up to Mexico in requiring a photo ID to vote.

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) hailed Thursday's bills as evidence that GOP lawmakers were "serious about securing our border and enforcing our law."Anyone taking bets on how long it will be before the first gang bangers are deported?

I want to see the Senate pass stuff and the President sign off before I acknowledge this or give any credit.
As it is, in CA a third of violent offenders in prisons are illegals.
