Rep. Gary Miller, R-Calif. (42nd CD), issued the following news release:

On Friday, the House approved a Coast Guard Reauthorization bill to authorize $10 billion in Fiscal Year 2010.

Among its various provisions, the legislation includes language similar to Congressman Miller's LEAVE Act to increase penalties for knowingly bringing illegal aliens into the United States, transporting illegal aliens within the United States, harboring illegal aliens, or encouraging illegal aliens to enter the country.

In particular, the measure increases prison sentences for any immigration offense, including paid smugglers and immigration crimes that result in bodily injury. Furthermore, the legislation creates three new penalties for cases not addressed in current law.

Specifically, the measure stipulates prison sentences for individuals who illegally bring family members into the United States; sets penalties for illegals engaged, or intend to engage in terrorism; and allows life imprisonment for cases that involve kidnapping, attempted kidnapping, or attempted murder.

Congressman Miller is pleased the House has strengthened penalties for those who recklessly disregard our nation's immigration laws and will continue working in Congress to find solutions to end our illegal immigration problem.

What about the land border, in other words if you are coming from Mexico you are safe!

How about making it a felony to cross either border illegally!! Or over stay a visa//but then they would not enforce it anyway, would you Janet? you would just change the law to suit your self and your president!

Of course they wont enforce it with Mexico. They WANT as many Mexicans here as possible in order to facilitate their north american union and the end to the United States...

Just another law that will not be enforced so why bother.

Another attempt by Congress to cover their ass so they can lie to their constituents straight faced..

Specifically, the measure stipulates prison sentences for individuals who illegally bring family members into the United States;

Does this mean pay for passage, harbor once they get here or drive the boat? Kinda vague.
