Rep. Hayworth Slams Az. Republic for Guestworker Proposal
Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) takes the Arizona Republic to task for endorsing a guestworker amnesty proposal. "[C]ompare the guest-worker notion to a tax amnesty, which gives tax evaders a last chance to comply with the law before the IRS goes after them. The Republic would turn that approach on its head. Instead of giving illegals a chance to conform to the law, it would change the law to conform to their illegal behavior," Hayworth writes. "U.S. immigration law is founded on four major principles: the reunification of families, the admission of immigrants with needed skills, the protection of refugees and the diversity of admissions by country of origin. The guest-worker proposal being pushed by The Republic violates every one, and that is why it should not be enacted."
