Republicans leary of immigration deal
Apr 5th, 2010 by David Anderson
Scary Chucky Schumer-D NY is trying to sucker a second Republican into co-sponsor his immigration bill. So far no takers.
From the Washington Times:
Most Republicans considered likeliest to join Sens. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, in writing a bill either have taken a pass or are still on the fence. Key figures say the country does not have the kind of consensus needed to tackle the issue.
“It just doesn’t exist anymore,” said Sen. Jon Kyl, the Arizona Republican who in 2007 took the lead on writing a bill with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, only to see it fail when a bipartisan majority of senators joined a filibuster against it.
Mr. Schumer and Mr. Graham are guardedly pressing ahead with a bill that would legalize illegal immigrants, establish a new system for allowing in foreign workers, and tighten controls on employment, including requiring the use of biometric identification Social Security cards
Hey, I got some political hemlock here. Do you want to join me? It’s good stuff.

Step # 1, secure the border.
Step # 2, devise tamper proof form of ID like Smart Card.
Step # 3, formalize legal visa/employer/employment processing for legal immigration.
Step #4 skip fines and back taxes and simply require the illegal resident to enter legally.
