Delegation divided on immigration
WASHINGTON When Congress takes up immigration reform next month, Arizona lawmakers will be at the forefront of the debate.There are major differences in the proposals put forward by the state's delegation. Twin bills introduced by Arizona Republicans Jim Kolbe and Senator John McCain would create a guest worker program and help illegal residents get legal status. On the other side, Congressman J.D. Hayworth advocates rigorous border enforcement and cracking down on employers who hire undocumented workers. In the middle is Senator Jon Kyl. He's pushing a bill that would give illegal immigrants five years to leave the country, though they could return through legal channels. Arizona is the nation's busiest point for illegal border crossings.

The Hayworth bill, a 115-page document incorporating new proposals authored by the Arizona Republican and a host of anti-illegal immigration measures offered by House conservatives, takes an enforcement first approach and rejects guest worker plans.WASHINGTON- U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth today introduced sweeping legislation containing core conservative principles that should guide the national effort to confront illegal immigration.
==========================================
On the other side, Congressman J.D. Hayworth advocates rigorous border enforcement and cracking down on employers who hire undocumented workers.
J.D. Hayworth is Arizona's future. He will be taking McCain's job once McCain is gone.
Hayworth may have a higher calling than to simply fill John McCains's RINO shoes.
"....Senator Jon Kyl. He's pushing a bill that would give illegal immigrants five years to leave the country, though they could return through legal channels." Anyone else find this humorous? The ILLEGALS who are here ILLEGALLY will have five effing years to obey laws they have already broken? Gee, that should work.
Kyl's bill is not in the "middle". It has no limits on the number of guest workers that could be brought in to displace Americans and depress wages.
It also expects us to believe that the laws will be enforced for a change while the millions of new visas are handed out. Seems we heard that once before back in 1986 and why the only bill to support is Hayworth's.

======================================
Anyone who has read a newspaper, turned on a television, gone to a grocery store, mall, or WalMart in the past five years with a half a brain calls this a "smokescreen."
Main Entry: smoke screen
Function: noun
1 : a screen of smoke to hinder enemy observation of a military force, area, or activity
2 : something designed to obscure, confuse, or mislead
My take is that we will have a lot of sturm und drang over Hayworth's bill and the marx-ocrat's bill. Then we will all settle on Kyl's wonderful compromise bill. Lot's of photo ops at the signing. Smokescreen? More like a shroud of lies.
If there is such a thing as a left-wing Republican McCain is it..........I am a VietNam veteran and I have great respect for McCain and what he went through as a POW but as a senator he scares me
"introduced by Arizona Republicans Jim Kolbe and Senator John McCain "
calling these two losers Republicans is like calling the moon a dog. The only thing they have in common is howling.
John McCain got the shiite kicked out of him in a North Vietnam prison for five years and the boy's never been the same since.
**** I thank McCain tremendously for his brave service and endurance but he has no business running for president
How about anchor babies? which will doom any legislation to help the country deal with illegals. Every twelve year old Mexican has an anchor baby which will keep him or her here in America until the merger takes place between the three countries in 2010. So much for window dressing!
I agree sir.
Haven't got a clue what you're talkin' about. But, OKAY! I Googled Obama and Hayworth and nothing came up.
What does Hayworth's bill propose to do about the 20 million illegals in the country?
Unless there is more than a generic "enforce the law" I guess it is to "downsize"(from another thread. Seems to be Tancredo's idea. Meaning attrition,harder to get in,deport the ones caught.) No real solution do I see. Another post here brings up the problem of children born to illegals - instant citizens.
Here we go:
"Mark Krekorian wrote the Theory of Attrition as a means of removing
illegals from the US.
In this theory, he acknowledges that the illegals can't be deported for
various reasons. Number 1, there would be economic chaos. Number 2,
America doesn't have the will to deport them.
Instead, thru the normal turnover of illegals, making things more
difficult for them, and enhanced border enforcement, the illegals will
gradually attrite. Couple this with guest worker program whereby guest
workers are brought in to replace the illegals as they gradually leave
and, theoretically, there is a seamless, gradual shift from illegal to
legal.
Krekorian compared this to a corporation downsizing its unneeded
employess by attrition and he entitled the paper he wrote "Downsizing the
Illegals".
In Tancredo's recent reform bill/guest worker plan, he says nothing about
what to do with the illegals. He does say that he will rely on the theory
of attrition and provides a brief mis-explanation of the theory.
In-as-much as Tancredo has stopped calling for deportations and now is
advocating attrition/downsizing, we/you should all get on board.
Downsize the Illegals!"
