What the article conveniently leaves out of the story is that Senator Specter's "hearing" is more of a cheerleading session for amnesty. Although I haven't seen a particular agenda, it is rumored that it will be chock full of illegal immigrant advocates.

Why did you excerpt this?
U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) has denounced Wednesday a comprehensive immigration reform bill that would increase border security while allowing 12 million illegal immigrants to gain citizenship with certain requirements, such as paying fines and back taxes, learning English, holding jobs and staying out of trouble. U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), who backs the bill, will convene a hearing about the measure at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. Santorum favored a bill that would build a 700-mile-long fence along the US-Mexican border and add thousands of border guards; he labeled the illegals as felons.

Meanwhile, Santorum has opposed the embryonic stem-cell research, but Specter has backed the practice. The Senate Democratic challenger, Robert Casey Jr., has charged Santorum of politicizing the issue.

Painless.

"His July hearing would include farmers, landscapers and hotel industry representatives. An aide to Specter said the fact that his hearing in Philadelphia falls on the same day that House leaders plan to hold their San Diego event was not intentional. No other dates or topics for Senate hearings have been released."

No amnesty for illegals. "Comprehensive" is a code word for amnesty.

I pushed Santorum on immigration reform weekly during the run-up to the passing of the trash legislation. He listened and earned my vote hands down. The only other candidate would have been the one nominated by the Constitution Party.

Okay, can you find this source (votersdomain.com) on JimRob's "must excerpt" list?
