Immigration Enforcement: In the absence of a coherent immigration policy, what are we to do?

WASHINGTON, DC, Jul 8 -

A year has passed since Congress has had a serious debate regarding immigration policy, yet this issue remains a major concern for many Americans.  With the recent media attention paid to Operation Streamline, an initiative of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, new questions arise on what more can be done to improve immigration enforcement. 

Congressman Michael Burgess, Vice Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, wants to kickstart the conversation by exploring how programs like Operation Streamline help or hurt existing immigration enforcement efforts.  Join Congressman Burgess, Congressman Lamar Smith, and other representatives of law enforcement and local governments for a panel discussion titled “Immigration Enforcement: In the absence of a coherent immigration policy, what are we to do?”
