Blast from the past, words from J.D. Hayworth:
“When you see the Mexican flags and other flags - rather than American flags - being hoisted at these demonstrations, you essentially are getting this message: ‘Yes, we are here illegally. No, we do not believe this to be your country. We do not believe in your laws . . . and we don’t believe you’re going to do anything about it.’” - Rep. J.D. Hayworth (AZ-R) -
However, Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) has taken the lead in the fight to stop the U.S.-Mexico totalization agreement from taking effect. (Trying to stop giving illegal aliens social security benefits) He has introduced H. Res. 20, a resolution of disapproval in the House.
REP. J.D. HAYWORTH, (R) ARIZONA: If there are so-called good people overstaying their visas, there are really bad people too. And more than just your garden variety of criminal, probably in that group, sad to say, are those folks who belong to terrorist cells who mean to do us harm.

In Arizona, President Bush said: "First of all, in this debate . . . nobody should be given an automatic citizenship. That's called ‘amnesty.’ But this is a strange definition of amnesty, considering that illegal aliens aren’t breaking the law by trying to become citizens—they are breaking the law by crossing the border illegally. If you let them stay here, if you pardon them for their crime of entering the country illegally, that's an amnesty.
The president is trying to redefine amnesty because he kno"ws that admitting his plan is an amnesty would doom it. But in fact, Bush wants to add eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants in addition to letting them stay here. This makes his plan more than an amnesty—call it an amnesty plus."
