Congress open to passing bill on immigration
By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
December 4, 2006
Congress will approve an immigration bill that will grant citizenship rights to most of the 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens in the U.S. after Democrats take control next month, predict both sides on Capitol Hill.
My take: The new Congress-in-waiting is repelled by a U.N. Ambassador who, as best I can tell, gets along pretty well with his peers, and who has done a reasonably good job of representing a country that is out of step with most its peers, U.N. members.
Meanwhile, that same Congress will welcome with open arms 12-20 million people who broke the law to get here; and who leap-frogged over every law abiding immigrant standing in line to become a U.S. citizen.
We have lost our way.
