Latest on Specter's "Modified" Immigration Bill
Senator Specter Proposes Modified Immigration Bill, Hopes To Debate It This Year

Washington, DC (AHN) -- The ranking Republican member on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has made a last ditch effort to revive efforts toward immigration reform.
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) issued a letter Friday to every senator, unveiling a new legislative package designed to win over critics, who stymied White House efforts earlier this year.
Rather than creating a co-called Z-visa, which is seen by many conservatives as giving the nation's approximately 12 million undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship, Specter is proposing simply removing their fugitive status.
That way, he wrote, "they would not be fearful every time they see a policeman, be protected from unscrupulous employers who threaten to turn them in if they don't do the employer's bidding, and be free to do things like rent apartments in cities which now preclude that."
While proposing more green cards be available for the nation's high-tech industry, Specter is not asking for a family unity proviso that largely divided the Senate before the bipartisan compromise package was tabled.
Specter said that he is meeting with groups from both sides of the immigration debate and thus far his proposal has garnered a "generally favorable response and, in many cases, an enthusiastic response." "I believe it is possible to enact comprehensive immigration reform in this Congress, perhaps even in this calendar year," he said.

NO. THE ANSWER IS NO.
REMOVING THEIR FUGITIVE STATUS? HOW IS THAT NOT AMNESTY? THEY DONT CARE IF THEY BECOME CITIZENS...OR WHAT COLOR CARD THEY HAVE IN THEIR WALLET.
THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO LIVE HERE AND WORK HERE. THAT IS THE POT OF GOLD FOR THEM. AND REMOVING THEIR ILLEGAL STATUS WOULD GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT AND ENCOURAGE MORE TO COME HERE ILLEGALLY.
NO THIS IS ANOTHER SHOT AT AMNESTY IN A DIFFERENT FLAVOR.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Specter is just fueling the anger and giving illegals false hope.Now more illegals will make the trek north encouraged by this irresponsible Senators baseless prediction.

I agree with redpony, this is still amnesty! Furthermore, you can bet the Dream Act and AgJOBS plan will be included - that's if the programs are not passed between now and then.

Specter is supposed to appear on Face the Nation (CBS) tomorrow (Sunday). If someone tunes in and watches, can you please post if he says anything about his latest amnesty scheme.
