Last December, the House passed H.R. 4437, the &#8220;Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act sponsored by Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner. A version of HR 4437 is being reviewed by Senator Arlen Specter and his Judiciary Committee. Meanwhile, 30,000 people rallies in Milwaukee, Wisconsin yesterday to protest the harsh immigration measures being considered by Congress. It was called &#8220;A Day without Latinos.&#8221; Sensenbrenner responded to the march calling it &#8220;an impressive show of force.&#8221; According to a press release from his office, &#8220;the best way to help illegal aliens is by stopping illegal immigration.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153If 2005 was the Year of the Minutemen, 2006 is becoming the Year of Immigrants Rising.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the opening line of an editorial by my next guest Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum based in Washington DC.
