Republican Party's Position on Immigration Reform

[one...two...tree 2,762]

http://www.gop.com/Issues/ImmigrationReform/

President Bush has proposed a new temporary worker program to match willing foreign workers with willing U.S. employers when no Americans can be found to fill the jobs. The program would be open to new foreign workers, and to the undocumented men and women currently employed in the U.S. This new program would allow workers who currently hold jobs to come out of hiding and participate legally in America's economy while not encouraging further illegal behavior.

President Bush also asked Congress to work with him to achieve significant immigration reform that:

* Protects the homeland by controlling the borders.

* Serves America's economy by matching a willing worker with a willing employer.

* Promotes compassion for unprotected workers.

* Provides incentives for temporary workers to return to their home countries and families.

* Protects the rights of legal immigrants while not unfairly rewarding those who came here unlawfully or hope to do so.

This legislation must also meet the Nation’s economic needs and live up to the promise and values of America.

.......

So we either have the two major political parties way out-of-sync with the American People, or.....perhaps some people here think their views on immigration are more popular than they really are...hmmm.

Thats Bush's position, not the reps.

Thats Bush's position, not the reps.

Washington, DC - Fred Thompson is in the Sunshine State again today, announcing an immigration plan that earns an A+ for political pandering, but just doesn't line up with his earlier positions on the issue. Seeing a political opening, Thompson today called for stronger laws to force employers to verify workers' legal status and to increase the enforcement of existing immigration laws yet in the Senate, he supported a temporary guest worker program for agriculture workers and voted against funding to enforce laws and fines for employing illegal immigrants already on the books. Why the change of heart?

Thompson's flip-flop on immigration is just further proof that Fred lacks an agenda or reason to run. Just last week Thompson said, "I really don't know what I would do in my first 100 days." From covering up his true record on abortion to renouncing the campaign finance reform legislation he advocated for in the Senate, time and time again Fred has failed to articulate what he stands for or what he would do to tackle the issues facing our country. Thompson's inability to present a clear vision for America has clearly hurt him with voters as he went from tied for first at 27% last month to just 19%. [CNN Poll, Released 10/16/07]

Nice liberal hit piece. To bad it's tilted so far it falls off the table. You want to see all the ways Hillary flip-flops? I doubt it.

Times as well as people change. It's good he has seen the error of his ways. I prefer someone that changed his mind to the better than someone that states he is in favor of amnesty. That will always be wrong. You can keep your lib azzhats and their pandering amnesty.
