Daily digest from the U.S. Congressional record (February 9, 1999 - April 22, 1999)
Article Abstract:
Several bills have been introduced in the US Senate and House of Representatives on the protection of legal immigrants and the legitimization of illegal aliens. Hundreds of illegal immigrants from China have arrived in Guam seeking political asylum. These immigrants have been charged by crime syndicates anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 each to travel in subhuman conditions for 20 days of more to reach US territory. A Democrat senator has the support of six other senators when he proposed the Fairness for Legal Immigrants Act of 1999. This has been based on a study that legal immigrants actually enhance the US economy since these groups pay income and payroll taxes.
