From FAIR's web site:
Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT), a keynote speaker at today's national convention of the American Immigration Lawyer's Association (AILA), shared the Bush Administration's current agenda. Cannon said that gaining passage of Section 245(i) - the provision that allows illegal aliens to gain green cards after paying $1,000 - is the current highest priority and the timetable is to get it passed before Pres. Bush goes to Mexico later this month. He claims the Administration is angry with the work of the Immigration Reform Caucus headed by Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) in heading off an earlier attempt to adopt the measure. Cannon said the White House objective is to get a permanent program or at least a "real extension."
To accomplish this AILA has been lobbying Congress with the help of Cannon and the White House, and Cannon said that he is setting up a "Pro-Immigration" Caucus to counter the successful Reform Caucus. He also hinted that the Administration is working on a plan to "regularize" Mexicans illegally working in the United States into a new temporary worker (H-2A) program, and hopes to be able to announce that initiative also at the time of the Bush trip to Mexico. On INS reorganization, Cannon said that he is working with Rep. Lofgren (D-CA) to craft a compromise between the Administration's in-house reorganization and efforts in Congress to achieve a formal split between enforcement and service operations.
Better name - pro illegal alien caucus.
Come on, BushBots, tell me the guy is a conservative.
BS.
And the recent Utah house vote to give in-state tuition to illegals?
