WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee unveiled draft legislation on Friday that would create a temporary guest worker program that could allow hundreds of thousands of foreigners to fill vacant jobs in the United States for periods of up to six years.
The draft circulated by the lawmaker, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, would also authorize millions of illegal immigrants who arrived in this country before Jan. 4, 2004 to remain here indefinitely, along with their spouses and children, as long as they registered with the Department of Homeland Security, paid back taxes and remained law-abiding and employed, among other conditions.

Where do we start?
No deal, Arlen.
Isn't Specter stomping on John McCain's territory with this?
I'm not sure where we start. But, if someone would organize it, I'm up for it.

I meant for generally being a RINO.
Good point. You're right.
However, I might suggest that "RINO" is an incorrectly used term.
From the WH all tthe way to the local level the party of smaller government, personal responsibility, and putting Americans first, has ceased to exist.
The republican party now stands for a globalist agenda, foreign welfare, nation building(?), massive waste corruption and spending, and pandering to what every lobbyist or special interest that promises the best kickback.
specter is, in reality, an exceptional gop leader based on the above description.
Sprector is freak.
High level republicans are selling this this country into Mexican slavery.
While you're right about the GOP, I try not to dog it too much, as it's all we've got. At least Specter goes along with conservative actions instead of getting in the way like Chafee and his ilk.
