I think there are probably many out there who believe the House bill stands for the proposition that we need to make it a felony for people to be in this country illegally. And since the House is controlled by Republicans. that must be the Republican position. Nothing could be further from the truth. I dont know of a Republican Senator. No. 1. who wants to have it a felony for a status violation of the immigration law or for crossing the border illegally. What happened in the House of Representatives? Representative SENSENBRENNER. chairman of the Judiciary Committee. said we need to take that felony status and change it to a misdemeanor.
