Kennedy-McCain Amnesty Plan Falls Flat

Legislation now being drafted by lawmakers — primarily Sens. Ted Kennedy and John McCain — would allow millions of illegal immigrants in the United States to apply for citizenship.
Adoption of this measure would be a terrible mistake.
The Senate plans to introduce its immigration bill early this year, with the House considering its version later. President Bush has said he hopes to sign an immigration bill in 2007.
In 2006 the Senate passed a bill that would have required illegal immigrants living in the United States for fewer than five years to return to their native countries for a period of time before applying for legal status.
House Republicans prevented debate of the bill, saying it was an amnesty bill, pure and simple, for lawbreakers. Today, the Kennedy-McCain legislation under consideration would go dramatically further. The new law would allow up to 11 million illegal immigrants now living in the United States to gain citizenship after applying, and without ever returning home first.
Yes, McCain’s role in the shamnesty battle of a few short years ago shouldn’t be forgotten. He was all for it, and I believe he made some disparaging remarks about those against it (namely, us).
I plan on sending Hayworth a couple of bucks once he’s up and running.
