Some see the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act as a double-edged sword. As WorldNetDaily reported, the chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., opposed an amnesty proposal attached to the border-security bill. The proposal extends Section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, "which permits illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. without receiving a State Department background check from their home country," Tancredo said in a statement. It also allows illegal immigrants to receive legal permanent residency or a valid green card, by filing a declaration with the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
On the Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" yesterday, Tancredo lamented the same barriers still exist, "No one [on Capitol Hill] wants to touch the immigration issue. On the Democratic side, mass immigrants mean massive votes. And Republicans don't want to lose cheap labor."
"I don't like to be negative," Camarota said, "but it's going to take another attack to get our attention and move discourse along."
Griswold warns, "We should post a yield sign on the Statue of Liberty, but never a stop sign."
