TRAC Immigration
http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/

TRAC's Immigration Project is a unique new multi-year effort to systematically go after very detailed information from the government, check it for accuracy and completeness and then make it available in an understandable way to the American people, Congress, immigration groups and others. The project is supported by the JEHT Foundation, the Ford Foundation and Syracuse University. The most visible aspect of the project is this site, which is very much a work in progress. It now includes:

1. Separate clearly written reports on important immigration matters — administrative enforcement, criminal enforcement, staffing, etc.
2. A just-developed special TRAC tool that provides one-click access to the very latest monthly data on the criminal enforcement of the immigration laws, along with a clear explanatory text.
3. An extensive library of reports on immigration matters by the GAO, CRS and inspectors general.
4. A plain English glossary of frequently used words and acronyms common to the immigration world.

Currently available on TRAC's Immigration site are reports focusing on Border Patrol apprehensions along the border, Border Patrol staffing, criminal enforcement in the federal district courts and government inspections activities at the designated ports of entry. Additional reports and studies are under development on a range of subjects such as the granting of immigration benefits — green cards, naturalization, affirmative asylum, etc — and the workings of the immigration courts. These reports and the latest data obtained from the government will be posted to their site as the information is obtained from the various agencies, checked for accuracy and completeness and analyzed. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
