Really? Did he tell you that on the golf course? Maybe in one of the White House meetings?
Wxcept for the "community service" loophole it is an example of the wise immigration reform measures we need.
These people did not break the immigration law.
The congress plans to sneak through a bill legalizing 2 million illegal aliens, mostly Mexicans. The bill is S-1645, the Agricultural Job Opportunity, Benefits, and Security Act of 2003. They will try to get it into the Omnibus appropriations bill and pass it without anyone noticing.
The bill would provide temporary residency status to anyone who can prove he or she has been working in agriculture for a certain amount of time up to August 31, 2003. We do not need this and it would leave us open to massive fraud.
WE DON'T NEED IT
If all illegal aliens were deported, America would thrive. Our automation industry would be stimulated by the need to mechanize our farms. Wages for farm work would rise to cover the social costs involved and we would not notice the difference in food prices. For example, it has been said that deportation would raise the cost of lettuce to five dollars a head. It has been shown that for lettuce to cost five dollars, farm workers would have to rise to $235 and hour. That is the work any American would do.
INVITATION TO FRAUD
This is the language of the bill regarding an application for qualification:
---`preliminary application' means a fully completed and signed application which contains specific information concerning the performance of qualifying employment in the United States, together with the payment of the appropriate fee and the submission of photographs and the documentary evidence which the applicant intends to submit as proof of such employment.---
Many Mexicans and others from south of the border have proven to be masters of deceit when it comes to forging documents and lying about status. This bill would lead to such MASSIVE FRAUD, financed and supported by the usual suspects, including MALDEF, LULAC, the National Council of La Raza, the Ford Foundation and Catholic Charities, that the Department of Homeland Security would be overwhelmed and unable to investigate claims. Sponsors claim the bill would cover 500,000. Those who know say millions would be legalized by fraud. This is exactly what happened in the 1987 amnesty.

Mr. Hatch you are a disgrace to America and IMO a Traitor. May the good people of Utah do to you what the good people in CA did to Davis.
BTW, anyone here think that Hatch would be proposing this outrageous piece of legislation if he was up for reelection in 2004? Time for him to be recalled.
Senator Durbin wants you to also call his office at (312) 353-4952 to express your view.
