Sold Out by the Republican Establishment on Immigration
The Washington Post story is here.
The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill that would create a guest worker program.
Excerpts from the article:
A key Senate panel broke with the House’s get-tough approach to illegal immigration yesterday and sent to the floor a broad revision of the nation’s immigration laws that would provide lawful employment to millions of undocumented workers while offering work visas to hundreds of thousands of new immigrants every year.
“Polls indicate about 60 percent of Americans oppose guest-worker programs…” –rightfully so
“A confrontation between the Senate and House Republicans now appears inevitable.” –GO HOUSE!
“It has to be a comprehensive approach. As we all know, just building walls and hiring more border patrols are not the answers to our immigration problem.” –John McCain
Neither is granting amnesty to lawbreakers, Sen. McCain.
“The panel voted to accept a bill largely patterned on the measure sponsored by Kennedy and McCain. Specter and Republican Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), Sam Brownback (Kan.) and Mike DeWine (Ohio) joined the committee’s Democrats to win passage.” –Now we know who to blame
“The panel’s bill would allow the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in this country to apply for a work visa after paying back taxes and a penalty.” –GOOD
“Senators also accepted a proposal by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that would offer 1.5 million illegal farmworkers a “blue card” visa that would legalize their status.” –BAD

There is something creepy about ILLEGAL aliens protesting in our country.
I am very interested in finding out who paid for and organized the protests.
