Rep. Sam Graves of Missouri Introduces Immigration Time- Out Bill. Kansas City Star ^ | March 13, 2003 Posted on 03/13/2003 6:02 PM CST by Missouri STEIN REPORT XXXXX Thursday, March 13 2003 11:37:01 ET XXXXX REP. GRAVES INTRODUCES IMMIGRATION TIME OUT BILL “Rep. Sam Graves announced Wednesday a plan to temporarily halt immigration to the United States, igniting intense criticism from groups representing the immigrant community,” the Kansas City Star reports. “We find we have a country where we have 8 million illegals amongst us, where we have 314,000 ordered deported by courts that can't be found, 1,000 al-Qaida operatives and sympathizers in the country somewhere, and we have no idea what they're doing," said FAIR spokesman David Ray.
The district Sam represents is mostly rural and conservative so he should be safe.I believe that Sam Graves will support Tancredos efforts in fixing this problem.
