THE PATRIOT ACT:  OTHER POST 9/11 ENFORCEMENT POWERS AND THE IMPACT ON 
CALIFORNIA'S MUSLIM COMMUNITIES - The purpose of the study is to get a glimpse 
of how the PATRIOT Act and other post-9/11 enforcement powers have affected 
California's Muslim communities.  When Congress considers revisions to the Act 
and some of the other anti-terrorism policies, it's important that members of 
the Legislature step back and take a careful look at the real impact these laws 
have on people's lives.  This analysis does that from a California perspective.  
The study examines the Act, the changes in immigration rules for visa holders 
from predominately Muslim countries, new rules calling for closer scrutiny of 
foreign students and scholars, and the nexus between California state and local 
law enforcement agencies and the federal government in its terrorist-
investigation role.  It concludes with personal examples of how post-9/11 
enforcement powers have affected the lives of some California residents.  (Stock

California Legislature’s Role in Global Trade held this third hearing to 
investigate the effect of the North American Free Trade Policy (NAFTA) on 
California’s economy and its impact on the California-Mexico border region.  The 
purpose of the hearing to determine whether the NAFTA has lived up to its 
promises in California.  Has it created more jobs rather than lost them.  Have 
labor and environment protections been enforced and strengthened?  Are the 
increased immigration flows from Mexico and the nearly 600 migrant deaths at the 
CA-MEX border related to NAFTA’s impact on our economies?  (Stock #1067-S; $3.77
