A leading Republican said Friday that the unfolding events in Boston underscore
the need to address "gaps and loopholes" in the nation's immigration system,
stressing that any new immigration bill should tighten screening to stop
those "who wish to do us harm."Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, addressed the
terror attack and ongoing manhunt at the start of a Capitol Hill
hearing on newly unveiled comprehensive immigration legislation. The Boston
crisis rapidly overshadowed the hearing, the first held for the major piece
of legislation. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano had been scheduled
to testify but canceled as federal law enforcement agencies were pulled
into the crime scene. Grassley, though, suggested the attacks in Boston
could influence how the immigration bill is considered."It's important for
us to understand the gaps and loopholes in our immigration system. While
we don't yet know the immigration status of the people who have
terrorized the communities in Massachusetts, when we find out, it will help
shed light on the weaknesses of our system," said Grassley, the top
Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.The two suspects have been
identified as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
26, who was killed early Friday morning.The two are believed to be
from the region near Chechnya. One source briefed on the matter said
they are thought to have arrived in the United States about a
decade ago. Po
May 10, 2012: Thomas Perez, now the Labor secretary nominee, speaks in
Phoenix.APLabor secretary nominee Thomas Perez was confronted Thursday with
tough questions about an alleged "secret deal" he cut with leaders from
St. Paul, Minn., during his tenure as a top attorney at the
Justice Department.During Perez' confirmation hearing, Sen. Lamar Alexander,
R-Tenn., accused the nominee of "manipulating" the system to get the result
he wanted - and potentially costing taxpayers millions of dollars in the
process.According to a Republican report released earlier this week, Perez
helped persuade St. Paul to drop a contentious lawsuit in exchange for
the Justice Department staying out of whistleblower cases brought against
the city. Perez' "quid pro quo" potentially cost taxpayers as much as
$200 million, the report said."That seems to me to be an extraordinary
amount of wheeling and dealing outside the normal responsibilities of the
assistant attorney general for civil rights," said Alexander, who is the
top Republican on the Senate panel screening Perez' nomination."It seems
you have a duty to the government to collect the money, a
duty to protect the whistleblower who's kind of left hanging in the
wind."Both cases involved the city of St. Paul. The 67-page report states
that the Justice Department's decision to opt out of the whistleblower cases
potentially cost taxpayers as much as $200 million -- the amount the
government could have won ha

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> d it pursued damages in the case.But, according
to the report, the Justice Department stayed away from that case in
order to get the city to drop an appeal to the Supreme
Court on another matter. The department was allegedly concerned that the
high court, in the course of reviewing that case, would strike down
a major element of civil rights enforcement.The case the Justice Department
was allegedly concerned about was St. Paul's appeal on a case in
which property owners said the city made extraordinary efforts, through
strict code enforcement, to condemn their properties. The owners said reducing
the amount of affordable housing for minorities violated the federal Fair
Housing Act -- by what is known as "disparate impact."Perez appeared to
think the Supreme Court overturning the case would have been a severe
blow to civil rights enforcement, the report concluded.The "disparate impact"
provision, which the report described as legally questionable, prohibits
housing policies that end up discriminating against certain groups even
if those policies are not blatantly discriminatory.Perez acknowledged Thursday
that he thought that case "was a poor vehicle for the Supreme
Court to address the broad issue."Asked why he intervened, he said "The
Department of Justice is really a guardian of the Fair Housing Act."Alexander
retorted: "Well, the Department of Justice is a guardian of taxpayers as
well."But Perez noted that the value of a losing case
lice are still looking for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.The case appeared
to spark an interest by Grassley in potential legislative changes."How can
individuals evade authority and plan such attacks on our soil?" Grassley
asked Friday. "How can we beef up security checks on people who
wish to enter the United States? How do we ensure that people
who wish to do us harm are not eligible for benefits under
the immigration laws, including this new bill before us?"Democratic Sen.
Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., though, cautioned that the facts in the Boston
case are still coming out. He urged lawmakers to let that information
emerge "before jumping to any conclusions about Boston.""I'd like to ask
that all of us not jump to conclusions regarding the events in
Boston or try to conflate those events with this legislation," Schumer said.Meanwhile,
lawmakers proceeded to debate the immigration bill at the hearing, as senators
begin the work of considering and modifying the sweeping legislation.Schumer
said it would "unleash the potential of our legal immigration to create
robust economic growth."Doug Holtz-Eakin, former director of the Congressional
Budget Office, also said the legislation could have a major impact on
the economy."At its core, immigration reform represents an economic policy
opportunity," he testified.He and others claimed the legislation could help
the U.S. economy grow, by welcoming in foreign entrepreneurs and budding
small business owners.But
