 IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE ALERT FROM The Heritage Foundation
dated June 19, 2007
For weeks, Americans were told that there are only two options for
dealing with the nation's illegal immigration problem: stay with the
status quo or accept a "grand bargain"--a tenuous behind-closed-doors
deal, first made public by The Heritage
Foundation, which contained nearly 800 pages of flawed policies. In the
face of overwhelming criticism from all sides, this legislation was
withdrawn from the Senate.
Now, an altogether new bill (S. 1639) has been introduced by
Senators Ted Kennedy and Arlen Specter. It seems to incorporate the
previous legislation, with some amendments. After it is read into the
Senate calendar on Wednesday, the Majority Leader will be able to
proceed to consider this legislation anew at any time; debate is likely
to follow later this week, with a final vote very soon thereafter.

This schedule
will afford lawmakers even less time for consideration and deliberation
than they had before. It will deny them the various procedures long
associated with America's deliberative lawmaking process--hearings,
testimony, committee debate and amendments, floor debate, and the
possibility of further amendments. Instead, according to reports, this
legislation will proceed based on an altogether new and expedited
procedure designed for the sole purpose of forcing the bill's many
ill-conceived policies over legitimate minority objections.
As it has before, for the sake of open deliberation and public education, The Heritage Foundation is making this legislation publicly available to encourage widespread debate and discussion. Heritage
Foundation analysts will be reading this legislation and considering
its implications--as will everyone outside the confines of the narrow
group that conceived it--as quickly as possible.
