Seeking to define a middle ground on illegal immigration, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, gave a preview Friday of legislation that would both allow temporary workers into the country and crack down on employers who continue to hire undocumented immigrants.

Cornyn, who chairs the Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship subcommittee and is close to the White House on immigration issues, said he expects to introduce legislation early next month and is optimistic it could get through Congress before the end of the year.

He noted that the status quo â€â€

So we can't expect those who have been illegally in our country three to six years and have jobs and children here to leave? Really? No one sent for them...no one gave them permission to come here or stay here...and those anchor babies are not truly citizens....according to our constitution...( internal terrorist statement?)

I would suggest something called Operation Wetback ll.....they had no rights when they came here, and accumulated none after arrival.

If we don't get TOUGH...we're finished as a nation.
