Congress provides money to deter illegal immigration
Immigration services allots $400 million for increased border patrol, alien removal
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With a record $3.1 billion
WASHINGTON — With a budget, the nation's immigration service is allotting $400 million in new funds to deter illegal crossings along the Southwest border and to remove undocumented aliens from U.S. interior states.
INS received in 1993.
"Our borders have been greatly strengthened with more personnel and better technology; workplace enforcement has gotten tougher and a record number of criminal aliens have been deported," President Clinton said. "Today's announcement represents continuing wise management of the additional resources requested by me and provided by the Congress."
The Immigration and Naturalization Service is using part of the extra money provided by Congress to hire 2,000 new employees — including 1,000 new Border Patrol agents and 350 inspectors at land border crossings and airports.
The nearly $200 million in new funding to beef
"Ourfirst priority remains to secure the border."
"Our first priority remains to secure the border," INS Commissioner Doris Meissner said.

California will get 506 of the new agents, inspectors and support personnel, followed by Texas with 479, Arizona with 224, New Mexico with 98 and New York with 62.
"We are continuing to concentrate these agents in the highest illegal immigration corridors." Meissner said.
Once chronically underfinanced, INS has seen its fortunes improve dramatically in recent years while other federal agencies have had to scale back. The budget for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1 is more than double the $1.5 billion
up enforcement along the U.S.-Mexican border includes $24 million to speed authorized crossings at border checkpoints and to add new technologies such as infrared scopes and motion detectors to deter unlawful entries.
Another $114 million is dedicated to improving the agency's detention and removal of criminal and other illegal aliens. INS anticipates removing 93,000 criminal and unlawful aliens this year, up from
68,000 last year.
And $23 million is earmarked to help INS process a record number of citizenship applications, expected to reach about 1.6 million this year — up from 1.3 million last year.
Republicans sharply criticized INS during the campaign season, accusing the agency of allowing thousands of non-eligible foreigners to gain citizenship in an effort to win votes for Democrats. Congressional hearings are pending.
The new funding, in part a response to the surge of citizenship applications, is supposed to strengthen the checks and the balances in the citizenship process, Meissner said.
America Online sued for busy connections
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A lawsuit filed against America Online claims the Internet service provider offered a new price plan that boosted the number of users even though it was unable to handle the increased load.
The lawsuit, filed in Superior Court on Monday, said AOL subscribers have encountered busy and unavailable phone lines and/or inaccessible computer equipment since the company began offering unlimited access for a $19.95 fee at the beginning of the year.
Louis Marlin, the attorney for the five California men who filed the lawsuit, said yesterday that his clients were unhappy with AOL because it has become increasingly difficult to obtain dial-in access.
The plaintiffs, claiming negligence and consumer fraud, are seeking at least $20 million in compensatory damages as well as punitive damages and attorney's fees.
Marlin said that figure was only a minimum estimate to warn the other side that they were seeking significant monetary damages.
"Every new subscriber they get makes it more difficult for the existing subscriber to connect to the service." Marlin said.
The suit, which is being filed for class-action status, also asks for a court order stopping AOL from selling any more flat-fee, unlimited-access service until there is sufficient equipment to handle the increased amount of use.
In a statement, company officials said they expected to win the lawsuit.
Amnough we understand the frustration some members are experiencing at not being able to obtain immediate local access during peak periods, the average AOL member gets more value under unlimited pricing than ever before," company officials said.
