HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE

July 19th – How does the Reid-Kennedy bill compare to the House Border Security bill when it comes to enhancing border infrastructure?

July 20th – Does the Reid-Kennedy bill make it more difficult for law enforcement to expedite the removal of illegal aliens from the United States? 

EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE COMMITTEE

July 19th – What is the impact of the Reid-Kennedy bill on American workers and their workplaces?

July 26th – What is the role of English in American education and society, and does the Reid-Kennedy bill undermine, rather that encourage, this role?

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

July 18th – Do the Reid-Kennedy bill’s amnesty provisions repeat the mistakes of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986?

July 27th – Will the Reid-Kennedy bill’s amnesty provisions overwhelm the already overburdened U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services?  Will 10-20 million new applicants for citizenship make it easier for criminals and terrorists to evade background checks?

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE

July 27th – To what degree is illegal immigration an issue for countries in the Western Hemisphere, and does the Reid-Kennedy bill undercut American diplomatic efforts aimed at curbing illegal immigration?
