- I’m very pleased to announce the locations of three new offices in Carlisle, Lower Paxton Township, and Sunbury, which will serve the redrawn 11th District in 2013. During my first two years in office, my constituent service representative...s handled more than 4,500 cases, and they resolved about 95 percent of them. The redrawn 11th District is very large, and I want to make sure my constituents don’t have to travel very far to go into a congressional office.

- A new audit says that some 800,000 illegal aliens are living in the U.S. after they were ordered deported but have not yet left or been removed by the government. The program that’s supposed to weed out illegal aliens has instead allowed th...em to work in sensitive areas of airports and get government benefits such as Medicaid or food stamps. Failures include illegal aliens who applied for unemployment and disability insurance, food stamps, driver’s licenses and other benefits. Several of those illegal aliens had criminal records, including assault with a deadly weapon, extortion, drug convictions, burglary, stalking, and child abuse. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/dec/18/audit-feds-immigration-check-system-fails-12-perce/
How should the U.S. government make sure that illegal aliens who are ordered to be deported actually leave the country?See More - I offer my sincerest condolences to Senator Daniel Inouye’s family and friends. Senator Inouye was the senior Senator from Hawaii and a World War II veteran.
