LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Congress returned from its winter recess this week, and while border security and other terrorism related issues continue to be big news, they are overshadowed by the numerous investigations into the collapse of the energy company Enron.
No votes were taken on immigration issues, nor were any new immigration related bills introduced.
However, President Bush, revealing more of his proposed 2003 budget, did say that he would ask Congress to appropriate nearly $11 billion for improved border security. In addition, Bush is seeking a $1.2 billion increase in INS funding to be used to hire additional agents and inspectors.
