The Impact of Non-Citizens on Political Representation in the House of Representatives 
By Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler
At present, the apportionment of House seats to each state and the drawing of district lines are based on total population — not citizenship. The nation's 22 million non-citizens, slightly less than half of whom are here illegally, are not evenly distributed across congressional districts.


Four Shrinking Universities that Major in Foreign Students
By David North

House Envy: The Unacknowledged Real Motivation Behind Guatemala's Mass Migration to the American Border 
By Todd Bensman
The Domingo family's long-term plan to send sons and daughters — small children at the time — to work in the United States when they grew up took root a decade ago, when a neighbor built an ornate mansion among the traditional mud-brick homes typical of this highland Guatemalan village of indigenous Mayan descendants.


New York's 'Green Light' To Crime and Terrorism
By Andrew R. Arthur
The "Green-Light" law significantly undermines the federal government's efforts to secure our borders, and to identify aliens unlawfully present in the United States. Preventing illegal aliens from obtaining valid identification documents is key to that effort, because without those documents, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for those aliens to live in the United States illegally.

By Jason Peña
