Bump! Already called my Senators. Of course, the call to Hatch was probably useless on this issue.
Both of mine are worthless but I call anyway. Make their staff answer the phone.
Huh?
"Congress granted amnesty in 1986, and that just encouraged more illegal immigration, Hatch said. I opposed amnesty 20 years ago, and Im even more determined not to allow Congress to repeat the same mistake this time around. We shouldnt give an edge to those who have broken the law when there are thousands of people in other countries who are playing by the rules and have been waiting in line to come into the United States.-- Orrin Hatch
OTOH, a call to Bennett would be useless.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, initiated the idea for the bill five years ago, and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., has renewed efforts to get it through Congress.Deseret News Article 10-24-07
... Hatch insisted that the bill "is not amnesty," because for those who meet the initial criteria, it would still take years to reach full citizenship.
