Hayworth Statement on Senate Immigration Compromise: "Convulute, Complicated and Unworkable."
April 06, 2006 Hayworth Statement on Senate Immigration Compromise
Washington, D.C. Congressman J.D. Hayworth today released the following statement on the Senate immigration reform compromise:
"The Senate compromise is so convoluted, so complicated, and so unworkable that is surely must have been the work of Senators Rube and Goldberg.
"This is deja vu all over again. The 1986 amnesty law had a similar approach, and that was a catastrophe. It said if you could prove you did agricultural work for just 90 days a year for the previous three years, you would qualify for a green card. The number of those applying for this benefit was three times higher than expected, largely because of fraud, which was rampant. The Senate bill would likewise be vulnerable to fraud on a grand scale and be a nightmare to administer. It is amnesty wrapped in bureaucracy surrounded by fraud."
Yep, Hayworth is worth more than just hay ..we need a hell of a lot more Hayworth's in Congress that have the courage to say, NO.
