I would like to call attention today to the extraordinary achievement of two high school students from my congressional district. Phillip Anastos and Chris French. who are now seniors at the Rye Country Day School. are the authors of a moving new book. "Illegal: Seeking the American Dream." Anastos and French spent part of last summer traveling through the border towns along the Rio Grande River. They met with illegal aliens. border patrol officers. and relief workers whose lives intertwine along the TexasMexico border. These meetings led to a better understanding of the lives of these individuals. their problems. and their aspirations. Phillip and Chris also captured what they saw on film. and these poignant photographs form the heart of their work.
