More Hearings on Immigration Sen.

After an initial hearing in late April, the Committee will hold another hearing on May 20th, at 10:00 am, that will focus on securing our borders. FAIR staff will be in attendance and will be providing updates on our Twitter page during the hearing. We hope you will tune in.
