Senate's 'Compromise' Immigration Bill 'Bad for America'

Immigration Activist Proposes Alternative to Senate Compromise

 

Contact: Colin Hanna, President, Let Freedom Ring, 610-793-1800

 

MEDIA ADVISORY, May 17 /Standard Newswire/ -- Republican Senators have compromised the party position on immigration, saying Republicans and Democrats have "reached an immigration deal." However, fellow conservative Colin Hanna, president of Let Freedom Ring, says this so-called "Grand Compromise" is "Neither grand, nor a compromise.  It's amnesty, and it's bad for America," Hanna said.

 

Today, Mr. Hanna revealed an alternative and innovate solution.  "None of the current proposals for dealing with the almost 20 million illegal aliens currently in the US - mandatory deportation, voluntary deportation or some form of amnesty – enjoys the support of the American public," Hanna said. "Within the next day or so, the Senators who are so self-congratulatory right now will taste the wrath of millions of American citizens who have made it clear that they will not support amnesty.  This is a legislative blunder with electoral consequences."

 

Hanna explains, "Let Freedom Ring has developed a workable alternative that could be acceptable to Republicans and Democrats alike. Each side will need to give a little to reach this newly-defined middle ground, but each side can also live with it. If the Senate won't listen, we'll turn our attention to the House."

 

The groundbreaking proposal includes legalization without amnesty. Instead illegal aliens currently in the country will be required to admit wrongdoing, pay a significant fine, agree not to seek citizenship, become apart of a national database and swear loyalty to the United States. "This clearly isn't amnesty.  It's closer to a plea bargain, and it begins exactly as it should: with an admission of guilt," stated Hanna.

 

"For the good of the nation, all parties need to find a way to negotiate the details without compromising their principles. The American public expects both leadership and cooperation from their elected representatives, and the time for action is now."
