Houston Employer Convicted of Harboring Cop-Killer Illegal Immigrant
"Landscape business owner Robert Lane Camp pleaded guilty Monday to harboring an illegal immigrant who murdered a Houston police officer," the Houston Chronicle reports. "Joslyn Johnson, who has sued Camp in civil court, was in federal court Monday and said she was happy to see Camp admit guilt but would like to see a harsh punishment. She stressed that Camp transported and housed her husband's killer, knew he carried a gun and had it not been for Camp, her husband would be alive."
James Carafano says behind-the-scenes efforts to draft amnesty legislation are continuing.

"If you don't have these systems, you might have hundreds of thousands of illegals trying to get health benefits," noted Steven A. Camarota with CIS.
