Kyl Releases Key Findings of Hearing on Most Pressing Border Problems

PHXnews.com | Kyl Releases Key Findings of Hearing on Most Pressing Border Problems: "U.S. Senator Jon Kyl today released a number of startling findings from Tuesday's hearing on pressing issues facing the United States because of the failure to control the U.S.-Mexico border, held jointly by the Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security, which he chairs, and the Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship, chaired by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).

'While public awareness of problems at the border is growing, most Americans do not yet realize the extent of the problem,' Kyl said Wednesday. 'Few people know that the fastest growing segment of illegal aliens is from countries other than Mexico and that the vast majority of those are released into the general population on their own recognizance simply because of a lack of detention space to keep them.'"
