Novak on the House Immigration Hearings

Robert Novak's latest column is on the House immigration hearings, which began Wednesday in San Diego and continue Friday in Laredo, Texas.

As Novak writes, "This week’s hearings make the point that the Senate bill is filled with details that have escaped wide attention."

Under particular scrutiny on Wednesday was the "terrorist loophole" provision in the Senate's bill that would make it illegal for local law enforcement to make immigration-related arrests.

Hopefully the hearings are doing as hoped and calling the public's attention to some of the provisions in the Senate bill which were not widely discussed in the media when the bill was passed.
