Section 407 which is the expedited removal section. this was adopted in the markup In the Homeland Security Committee. The question of expedited removal was one that we explored in our subcommittee. The specific context of our hearing involved the growing number of illegal border crossings by what is referred to by the service as "other than Mexicans" or "OTMs." Let me explain what this is. Most people who come across the border Illegally from our adjoining countries. either on the north from Canada or on the south from Mexico. accept voluntary departure. They agree to voluntarily go home and agree that they do not go through the various processes involved.
