Sullivan says federal immigration bill possible

Associated Press - August 23, 2008 11:55 AM ET

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. (AP) - U.S. Rep. John Sullivan (R) of Oklahoma thinks it's possible that Congress could soon begin developing a guest-worker bill to address illegal immigration concerns.

The Republican from Tulsa told an audience at a Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce breakfast yesterday that he expects movement on the issue after the presidential election in November, no matter which candidate wins.

Sullivan says a proposal being considered is for a card for illegal immigrants who want to work in the U.S.

He says the program could include some sort of biometric identification and a background check. He says those with a card could work in the U.S. and would also pay taxes.

Sullivan says such a card would allow the bearer to travel in and out of the U.S. but would not grant citizenship.

Sullivan says the rhetoric surrounding the issue from both sides needs to be toned down.
