To the Editor:

I am truly disheartened to learn that members of the U.S. House of Representatives are floating yet another amnesty plan, this time in the form of a special five-year visa for illegal immigrants.

There is already a bipartisan effort to solve our illegal immigration crisis. The SAVE Act will punish employers who hire these illegal immigrants and also create incentives for illegal immigrants to leave the United States.

Now why would the House of Representatives leadership fight the SAVE Act with a plan to encourage illegal immigrants to stay?

Illegal immigrants who leave their jobs here and return to their home countries, voluntarily or otherwise, have been replaced by Americans, usually for better wages.

Giving visas to illegal immigrants will only encourage more illegal immigration and further deprive law-abiding Americans and legal immigrants of opportunities here.

Nothing whatsoever about the five-year amnesty proposal make any kind of sense.

Please oppose this plan and render your support to the SAVE Act.
