GOP bill would force illegal aliens to leave

By PATRINA A. BOSTIC
COX NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON -- Two border-state Republican senators proposed legislation yesterday that would require every illegal immigrant -- estimated at 10 million -- to leave the United States and return to the nation they came from within five years.

The bill, by Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Jon Kyl of Arizona, would establish temporary work permits renewable for up to six years and would require employers to provide health insurance to workers. It also calls for tougher border security and law enforcement measures.

Undocumented immigrants would be required to depart the United States voluntarily and re-enter through legal channels, by applying for permanent residency or a temporary work permit.

"We have promised, as part of this bill, to remove the obstacles to the qualifying individuals to re-enter the country and to establish themselves legally," Cornyn told reporters. He said most of the immigrants would "realize that we really are serious, not just about forcing them to leave the country, but we're serious about opening legal channels so that people who want to work and who are needed by the American economy can work and live in the United States, that we will provide them a path to do so."

The measure, which the senators hope to bring to a full vote in the fall, contrasts with the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill introduced in May that would pave the way for illegal immigrants already in the United States to obtain legal employment status and citizenship.

John Keeley, director of communications for the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based group that advocates stricter immigration controls, said the Cornyn and Kyl bill gives illegal immigrants too much time to leave the country.

"One level of concern is that it gives illegal immigrants five years to leave the country. We would have preferred to see the lawmakers support a stricter spirit of enforcement, as opposed to this generous leeway for lawbreaking. Five years is a long period of time during which a lot can happen politically for this population."

This is nothing but a veiled shot at amnesty for the criminals.

So long as it is *just* a work permit *and* the work permit has *no* channels to citizenship, I'm for it simply because it will put the screws to employers.

Although, five years is a long time....

No permanent residency or citizenship on a work permit and NO AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP FOR OFFSPRING.

Then I'm happy.

Deportation is the only thing that would make me happy. Anything less is a slap in the face to all who enter the country legally. Not to mention that each and every time we grant another amnesty it just invites millions more to break the law.

Absolutely! What makes me happy about this is that they have to GO HOME to apply for the work permit. This is a first and this part makes the folks that came legally I know very happy.

Although, unless this sucker has REAL teeth in it, like public tar and feathering/flogging/carrying signs/public stocks etc. of employers AND illegal aliens - and any other enabler thereof - what good is it?

I'm pretty sure you are misreading it. They don't have to go home and it effectively guts any attempt to deport them or any more that come in for the next five years.
