People on both sides of the immigration debate are bracing for another fierce round of lobbying as a new proposal emerged Tuesday on Capitol Hill to provide illegal immigrants a way to gain legal status.

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, D-Ill., introduced the most recent plan aimed at overhauling the nation's immigration laws, creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

He hopes to break the two-year impasse on settling the status of an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants.

What a disgrace!

And the real kicker is that most illegals don't want to become citizens - too many responsibilities and taxes. They prefer to take what they can get for free from the American taxpayer and then retire in their home country. Although I often refer to them as "undocumented Democrats" chances are that they won't become citizens and won't vote (I know, some of them do vote already).
