DeMint: Rejecting Amnesty is Most Pro-Immigrant, Compassionate Policy
Today, Senator Jim DeMint spoke on the Senate floor in favor of an amendment he offered to eliminate the "Z" Visa provision in the immigration bill, which awards illegal immigrants with permanent legal status. In his remarks, Senator DeMint said:
"Americans are extremely pro-immigrant. But they are upset that their government has lied to them for twenty years on this issue and they have lost confidence in our ability to control our borders. Let me be clear. I am pro immigrant. I believe in legal immigration. I want people to come here, respect our laws, embrace our values, and become American citizens. But we must reject amnesty if we ever expect that to happen. And that is why eliminating the amnesty provisions in this bill is the most compassionate, pro-immigrant thing we can do."
