Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska once again will wade into the political minefield of immigration reform, planning to introduce legislation that would allow immigrants here illegally to work their way to legal status.
The plan Hagel is expected to introduce Tuesday also will include stronger controls at the border to stem the flow of undocumented workers into the United States.
Sen. Chuck Hagel
The Republican said Saturday there are about 10 million illegal immigrants here now who are an integral part of the nation's economy. Any immigration proposal must recognize and provide a way for them to earn legal status.
"Most illegal immigrants are here for the same reasons our grandparents came to this country, to improve their families' future," he said. "Most of them are good people, but the fact is they are here illegally. We have to deal with that."
Hagel held meetings in Omaha to discuss immigration in advance of unveiling his proposal.
On Friday he met with federal, state and local law enforcement officials. On Saturday he met with immigrant advocates in south Omaha, a traditional landing place for undocumented workers.
Hagel said the outline of his plan was well-received in both meetings.
Overall, Hagel said, the plan will be similar to the bill he introduced with then-U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., in the last Congress.
But it will include some new details, including additional resources for border security.
He said he also will introduce the plan in three different bills. He said his previous experience in taking on controversial and complex issues, including climate change, has shown that breaking the plan into pieces would make it easier to pass.
Another sellout.
A chance at what, to run their numbers to 50% of the U.S. population?

Any plan that was well received by immigrant advocates has to be stopped.
Are these politicians that idiotic? There have been ways to become a legal resident of the U.S. We have to many idiots who do not want to lose citizen in their home country. Do they know what dual citizenship means? I am sick and tired of this nonsense. We need to vote these idiots out of office and elect someone who will enforce the laws already on the books.
If you've used your time here illegally to learn our language, respect our culture and support our country, that will be taken into consideration when legal entry visas are handed out.
Starting such and such a date, we will start handing out one legal entry visas for every confirmed deportation. If you want a chance at one, better hurry!
Police, judges, and the penal system are also an "integral part of the nation's economy." So should we encourage more crime, Chuck??
All we are saying,
Is give crime a chance.
We have. And here's what we got: 30% of our prison population, drug smugglers, welfare fraud, forgery, identity theft, communicable diseases, rape, murder, gangs like MS-13...
Hey republicans: want to get voted out of office? Support amnesty for illegal aliens.
North of Kansas, east of Wyoming, south of South Dakota, west of Iowa. Last one there is a rotten huevo.
US Sen "Chucky Boy" Hagel is a First Class Anal Oriface!
"Hey republicans: want to get voted out of office? Support amnesty for illegal aliens"
I wish- who are we supposed to vote for- Democrats? Like they are going to do anything about the problem. Conservatives have nowhere else to go, the Republican elites know that, and that is why they will do nothing about this problem and the US will be sold out to Mexico and gradually become a third world nation.
Hey chuck, do you boys in Nebraska like speaking spanish?
You farm boys in Nebraska like this B.S.?
Well tell me how do you like your representative now?
Next time vote for anyone but Chuck Hagel, maybe some one who isn't for illegal immigration.
The repubs are committing suicide with this kind of crap. Why support this? I'm no fortune-teller, but I've got a feeling donations and votes will be running a little lower in 2006-08.
Then stay home, once enough of these sell outs get fired by
the people (or maybe they were outsourced.....) they will
get the message.
"Yo Estados Unis por Americanos, no Rino's"
There are other options, such as the Constitution Party. Yes, I'm aware of the usual objections to voting third-party, but I can tell you one thing - nothing's better at grabbing the GOP's attention.
Well since they are such good people, I am sure they won't mind going back and coming back in legally now will they Chuck?
