Illegal Aliens: A Few Myths to Keep in Mind . . . Mexico City. Last Tuesday the Pew Hispanic Center announced that 41 percent of Mexicans surveyed in February and 46 percent questioned in May stated they would live in the United States if given "the means and opportunity." Indeed, two out of 10 people interviewed said they were prepared to enter the U.S. illegally. These figures could have amazing consequences because our Spanish- speaking neighbor has a population of nearly 106 million inhabitants.

Bringing San Diego to the forefront of the immigration debate, House Republicans will hold field hearings on the issue Wednesday at an Imperial Beach border patrol station. Two opposing immigration bills from the House and Senate will head for negotiations after the hearings senators and representatives are holding across the country this summer. San Diego area representatives have been heavily involved in the debate, some authoring sections of the House bill.

Story on the House of Representatives start on hearings on immigrants. The fur will fly on this one.

What are Hispanic groups and the Democratic Party have to fear about the upcoming immigration hearings by the GOP?What are they hiding?I thought that they would be glad that they are finally to air their views in the public.

The TRUTH of the matter is that this is an AMERICAN ISSUE !!... and until we realize it.. we can not effectively wage our WAR against the SENATE version of the Immigration Bill !!..If you take a quick peek over at DU, you will see that the LEFT is just as UPSET about the GARBAGE produced...

VOTE ON FINAL PASSAGE: 62-36 From Governor Dean: "We congratulate Senate Democrats for their continued leadership, led by Leader Harry Reid, on the important issue of comprehensive immigration reform.

"While the Senate bill is better than the Republican bill passed by the House with the President's backing, the next important step of reconciling these measures could erase...

It has come to my attention that ALL members of the JUDICIARY COMMITTEE will participate in the conference on the immigation bill.. Our battle is not with the Senators who voted on the "Senate Version" on the bill....the two bill are "oceans" apart.. with the house version being a MUCH BETTER BILL !! our battle is with the Senators who will go to conference with house.. which I just found out will be ALL MEMBERS of the Judiciary Committee and then some additional Senators yet to be named by Reid and Frist !!!... WE NEED TO LET THESE FOLKS KNOW...

It is getting down to the wire now... QUESTIONS... 1. Is the Senate going to pass an Immigration Bill? 2. How big of a difference is there between the House and Senate versions? 3. If it passes will the conferees be able to settle the differences?
