Cities, States Resist — and Assist — Senate Hearing on Immigration Crackdown in New Ways and Reunification of Migrant Families
Austin, Texas recently took a new tack in the ongoing war between “sanctuary cities" and federal immigration authorities.

When wives earn more than their husbands do, a puzzling thing can happen: Husbands say they earn more than they are and wives underreport their income. New Census Bureau research shows that the incomes couples report on Census Bureau surveys do not always match their IRS filings.
