Sunday, May 28, 2006 10:55 a.m. EDT Sensenbrenner: No Compromise on 'Amnesty'
The Senate plan to provide illegal immigrants with a shot at citizenship probably is a deal-breaker that will prevent passage of a compromise on immigration overhaul, the House's lead negotiator said Sunday.
''The words 'path to citizenship' is a buzzword for amnesty. We ought to be honest, it is amnesty,'' said Rep. James Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
The Senate bill passed last week would tighten, offer a guest worker programs to bring in new foreign workers and provide a chance at citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the country.
The House bill generally is limited to border enforcement and cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants.
Negotiators from both chambers will try to reconcile the differences and agree on a compromise.
Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., answered a flat ''no'' when asked Sunday on NBC's ''Meet the Press'' whether he would accept any legislation that would put illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship.
Sensenbrenner said the United States 20 years ago passed a bill that allowed illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. and become American citizens. He said that only increased the flow of illegal immigrants.
Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., said the Senate took a comprehensive approach to dealing with illegal immigration and he took issue with Sensenbrenner's characterization of the Senate's approach.
''Amnesty. That's nonsense,'' Hagel said.
Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said he, but not necessarily the Senate, could accept a phased-in compromise: enforcement first, then moving to citizenship issues.
''I personally would, because I think, first and foremost, you've got to lock down the borders. You can't allow this hemorrhaging of millions of people,'' he said on ''Fox News Sunday.''

Thank you, JP, for the hard work you do putting this together for all of us!!!

Great pic, thanks : )
There is a lot of good info on this thread. I had to quit reading it last night. I'm in a slightly better mood this morning, hahaha!
Bump!
I love that report card.
Liz Dole and Richard Burr voted for us---surprised me, but thank you, Lord!
Could you or someone make report cards that give them A's?? I don't know how to do it (duh!)?
Just Piper, you are doing such an incredible job! Thank you so very much!
I wish we "Sistahs" had a way to do a private chat to work out a strategy, i. e.,---batch the work---media contact Congress Critters; Newspapers here in the U. S., and overseas (to embarras them internationally), and anyone/anything else I haven't had enough coffee yet to be able to figure out.
I think we need to also do a media blast on all the Governors of each and every State.
Maybe MommyDearest could try to get us a listing of the contact information for all the Governors, purrrrrty please:-)
I already have something that I have that may be of value in a media blitz.
Private mail me, and I will give you, and any of the other "Sistahs" this same information, which you may, or may not want to use in a media blitz.
Mornin':-)
Could you possibly give us a listing of who is on the House and Senate Conference Committee?
Someone on another thread posted that listing of names, but now I can't remember which thread it was.
