Gephardt pushes bill legalizing aliens
By Stephen Dinan
THE WASHINGTON TIMES (http://www.washtimes.com/national/20021011-18770188.htm)
House Democrats, lead by Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt, yesterday introduced a bill to grant legal status to <h3>undocumented aliens</h3> who have lived and worked in the United States for some time.
Mr. Gephardt's plan, known as the "Earned Legalization and Family Reunification" legislation, would allow immigrants to apply for a green card — which grants legal residence — if they have resided in this country for at least five years, have a work history of at least two years and are able to pass a background check.
The plan would also expand the number of visas available to family members of current legal residents by removing spouses, children and parents from existing caps. <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Typical of the left, they refuse to call a spade a spade. 'Undocumented aliens' is a coverup for what they really are, ILLEGAL, lawbreakers, criminals,.... That they are here working is meaningless, they are still breaking the law. If you disagree with the law, change it for everyone!! The excuse that they fill jobs that Americans won't fill is all smoke and mirrors. The facts are that Americans won't fill them becuase they can make more off welfare. Cut that off and see how many are willing to fill those 'unwanted' jobs. graemlins/icon124.gif
