House Republicans reject illegal-aliens amnesty bill
By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
"House Republicans yesterday officially rejected the Senate immigration bill that would grant citizenship rights to some 10 million illegal aliens now in the country.
'We agree that we cannot support the Senate amnesty bill,' House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert said. 'This Democrat immigration bill wouldn't secure the border. It would erase it.'
Mr. Hastert met yesterday with other House leaders and the chairman of several committees to discuss how to proceed with the stalled immigration legislation and emerged saying new border security proposals will be offered next week.
The new initiatives will include more border patrol agents, new fencing and surveillance and stricter enforcement of current laws, which they hope will pass both the House and the Senate before November's elections." Full story.
