  2. Budget report gives key push to Senate immigration bill

    WASHINGTON — The sweeping immigration overhaul bill received a boost Tuesday as senators appeared to narrow their differences on border security and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported that newly legal immigrants would provide more than enough new tax revenue, fees and economic growth to offset the bill's costs.

  3. Are drones along the border (all day, every day) cost-effective?

    In its current form, the so-called Gang of Eight immigration bill increases funding for border security by up to $6.5 billion. When it comes to<a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c113:1:./temp/%7Ec1136E7g9u:e58196:"> technology and equipment</a>, the Senate bill doesn't go into much detail on how the government should spend its funds. But the bill is clear about one thing: It calls for 24/7 drone surveillance along the 1,950-mile southern border.

  6. Sen. Sessions on immigration bill's broken promises

    The so-called Gang of Eight immigration plan now being considered by the Senate fails to live up to every major promise made by its sponsors. Far from improving the immigration system, their 1,000-page proposal would exacerbate many of its flaws. It would dangerously undermine future enforcement while imposing substantial burdens on taxpayers and taking jobs and pay from U.S. workers.

  9. Sen. Sessions' do-nothing solution on immigration [Blowback]

    As an attorney and a supporter of immigration reform, I read the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-sessions-immigration-reform-20130610,0,4106824.story">Op-Ed article</a> Monday by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) hoping to learn more about principled conservative opposition to the so-called Gang of Eight's plan in the Senate. Instead, I was disappointed by Sessions' one-sided view of the legislation, as well as by his failure to offer any alternative for fixing our immigration system.
