The Library of Congress makes federal legislative information freely available to the public through THOMAS. For students researching immigration legislation, the House of Representatives bill is H.R. 4437 introduced last December. On the THOMAS page, search for H.R. 4437 for the House of Representatives bill and S. 2454 for the Senate bill in[Search Bill Text]. You will find summaries of the bills and current status. The bills are being debated now in the Senate.
Also, the Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. GPO Access contains Congressional Record volumes from 140 (1994) to the present. At the back of each daily issue is the "Daily Digest," which summarizes the day's floor and committee activities.
Use the library databases to find articles on both sides of the issues. Use the government sites to see the actual legislation being considered. Additional resources will be posted tomorrow.
