Cynthetiq, certainly not as much as I would like. But here is a list of articles and reports (NOT from me):

echo5delta, you bring up a serious problem, but one that should probably be the subject of a different thread. We should absolutely know who enters our country and where they are.
I do believe that the vast majority of Americans, of all political stripes, want to stop undocumented immigration. I believe that a much larger House would far better reflect the
will of the people.
If, for example, the majority of Americans wanted significant tax reform (e.g., a flat tax or the "fair tax"), then it
would happen if the House were large enough to
reflect the popular will. As it stands now, those types of changes will never happen.
