Deporting illegal immigrants won't work, McCain says

WASHINGTON - As the Bush administration began promoting a guest worker program for immigrants, Sens. John McCain and Edward Kennedy urged Congress to include provisions for illegal immigrants to stay in the country.

Speaking at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce forum on immigration Tuesday, McCain and Kennedy said Congress must realize that businesses rely on immigrant labor and that many immigrants have children born in the United States, who are citizens.

Any plan that would deport illegal immigrants before allowing them to apply for a guest worker program is unrealistic, said McCain, R-Ariz., who has introduced a temporary worker bill with Kennedy.

"Somebody is going to have to explain how that is workable," McCain said of a bill that would deport illegal immigrants. "My friends, that's not what the lady who holds the lamp beside the golden door is all about."

Bush and administration officials on Tuesday voiced support for a guest worker program that emphasizes beefing up the border. Their comments came a day after Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said the Senate likely would not take up immigration until January, despite pressure to deal with the issue sooner.

Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl on Tuesday applauded the White House for saying a guest worker program should not provide a way for illegal immigrants to apply for citizenship.

Kyl, a Republican, has proposed a bill with Cornyn requiring illegal immigrants to return to their home country to apply for a guest worker program.

The bill proposed by McCain and Kennedy, D-Mass., endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, would provide immigrant workers with a way to get permanent citizenship. To gain entry, immigrants would have to pay $500 and prove they have a job waiting in the United States.

Employers rely on immigrant labor, McCain said. "People in this room know very well we can't expect employers to be (immigration) officers," he said.

He said the illegal crossings would stop if people couldn't get a job without a temporary worker visa. Any plan that doesn't help immigrants become legal would encourage them to skirt the law, McCain said.

Kyl said allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the country permanently could hurt American workers. Illegal immigrants should have to go home and get in line for legal status, he said in a statement.

"The American people do not want to see anyone rewarded for breaking the law and entering the country illegally," Kyl said.

================================================== =====

McCain is a lying sack of crap. History has shown that when we've attempted to enforce the laws, it's been highly successful (for example take a look at Operation Wetback). If you want to see what a failure a guest worker plan will be, just take a look at Bracero program back in the 40's. You want to get rid of the illegals you need to have strict workplace enforcement. You need to dry up the jobs, not reward illegals with jobs which we all know will only encourage more to come. It's time to punish the employers for hiring illegals with impunity. Just remember when you give amnesty to illegals, you let the employers who hire them right off the hook.

If we do not have some 3rd party in this country soon, I fear the gig is up. We get the same garbage from whatever side.

Pigs are are flying and hell froze over with the power democraps and republicant's regurgitating the globalist line about immigrants.

This nonsense about the lady with the lamp at our door is what illegal immigration is all about? He is a fool. The lady GUARDS the entry way, Ellis island is the port of entry, not some indiscriminate coyote fence jumpin herd from a racist country south of here. We need to FORCE mexicans to clean up their country.

WE ARE NOT A DUMPING GROUND FOR THEIR RACISTS HUMAN GARBAGE!
