New Analysis of Senate
Immigration Bill
Senator Sessions Leads Panel
To Discuss Bill’s Implications
Read the
Report
WASHINGTON (June 2006) — Will the recently passed Senate
bill actually decrease illegal immigration? How many illegal aliens can be
expected to legalize? How much fraud in the amnesty program can we expect in
light of past legalizations? What provisions in the 750-page bill have
received little media coverage?
A panel of experts led by Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions and sponsored by the
Center for Immigration Studies will discuss these and other issues this
Thursday, June 15, at 8:30 a.m. in the Murrow Room of the National Press Club,
529 14th St. NW. The panel will include:
-
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), member, Senate Judiciary
Committee, who will discuss the updated numerical impact analysis he released
last week on the Senate bill and the CBO projection that the Senate bill will
not decrease current levels of illegal immigration.
-
Steven Camarota, Director of Research, Center for
Immigration Studies, who will release a new report that examines the number of
illegal aliens expected to receive amnesty, both legitimately and
fraudulently. The report will be available on line Thursday morning at
http://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back606.html.
-
Rosemary Jenks, Director of Government Relations,
NumbersUSA, who will discuss little known provisions in the Senate bill that
potentially have very large implications.
-
Michael Maxwell, former Director of the Office of
Security and Investigations at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services,
Department of Homeland Security, who will discuss the ability of the
immigration bureaucracy to handle the enormous increase in workload mandated
in the Senate bill.
