Illegal immigration hearing held in Evansville Tuesday

"It has been my experience that citizens in the 8th (congressional) District are most concerned about this issue, and most concerned not only (about) the impact on our society, but the impact on their children someday to have a job in America," Rep. John

A congressional hearing on the hot button issue of illegal immigration attracted 200 people to The Centre this morning, where elected officials and experts jousted over the merits of House and Senate bills.

Four members of the 40-member House Judiciary Committee, including Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., heard testimony from and questioned a panel of experts.

Today’s hearing was one in a series of Judiciary Committee field hearings across the country that are designed to point out perceived flaws in immigration legislation passed by the Senate in May.

Democrats have derided the hearings as a political stunt to delay House-Senate compromise negotiations over the two bodies’ starkly contrasting immigration bills and to rouse the emotions of conservative voters before the November elections.

But Hostettler said afterward that the Evansville hearing was worthwhile because it helped clarify an issue that is vital to residents of Vanderburgh and surrounding counties.

Hot off the blog!

"As the National Journal's Ron Brownstein has been reporting, white America is increasingly alienated and distrustful of all our major economic and political power centers - the banks, big corporations, the government. And, for the first time in our lifetimes outside the South, white racial consciousness has visibly begun to rise."
