Sen. Feinstein plan expands illegals pool
By Charles Hurt THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published May 23, 2006 A Senate Democrat yesterday introduced a proposal to expand the pool of illegal aliens eligible for citizenship to include anyone who sneaked across the border before Jan. 1. Under the amendment filed yesterday afternoon by Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, all illegals that can prove they arrived before the start of this year would be issued an "orange card," which would provide a path to U.S. citizenship. "This amendment would streamline the process for earned legalization," Mrs. Feinstein said, referring to the process by which an estimated 10 million to 12 million illegals could become citizens. "It would create a more workable and practical program and dedicate the necessary dollars to cover its costs of administration." Under the bill being debated in the Senate, illegal aliens who came into the country within the past two years would still be subject to deportation. Illegals who had been here two years or longer could apply for citizenship. "This means approximately 4.8 million people would be required to leave voluntarily or be deported," Mrs. Feinstein said yesterday in reference to the Senate bill. "I don't believe many of these people would go home. Even President Bush acknowledged that such a large-scale deportation program is unworkable when he said, 'It is neither wise, nor realistic to round up millions of people ... and send them across the border.' " Mrs. Feinstein's amendment would require illegal aliens to immediately register with the Department of Homeland Security and submit fingerprints for criminal and national-security background checks. Once they passed the background checks, they could apply for an orange card. In order to get an orange card, the alien would have to provide evidence they were already in the U.S. on Jan. 1, 2006. As under the current bill, aliens would have to learn English, pay back taxes and $2,000 in fines. Several of Mrs. Feinstein's colleagues were hesitant to comment on her proposal last night, saying they had not had time to study it. It was not clear last night whether or when the amendment would receive a floor vote. Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican who adamantly opposes granting amnesty to illegal aliens, said he did not think it would change his opposition to the larger bill as it is currently drafted. "Sounds to me like it has the same infirmities that the current bill does," he said yesterday.

Feinstein Calls Illegals Good 'Citizens',
Lou Lets Loose
Posted by Mark Finkelstein on March 28, 2006 - 09:03. In all its cacophony and moments of absurdity, this morning's Today show segment on immigration was a supremely edifying example of the confusion, high emotion and complexity of the immigration debate. Matters reached their Alice-in-Wonderland apotheosis when Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California was shown arguing that illegal immigrants are good . . . 'citizens.' Said Feinstein: "They pay taxes, their children are Americans, they go to schools, they're good citizens and they're needed." This was in line with the fait accompli argument advanced by La Raza representative Janet Murguia. She referred to what she estimated as the 11-12 million illegal aliens in the country as "people are working in backbreaking work that nobody else wants to do in this country. We need to . . . understand that they are already part of this country." "They're doing work others won't do" has become the mantra of pro-immigration advocates. Others, such as National Review's Rich Lowry, say that argument is is easily refuted on logical and economic grounds. The morning's other guest was CNN's Lou Dobbs. On outsourcing and trade, I find that Dobbs' populism verges on demagoguery. But here, he was, if you'll excuse the expression . . . en fuego. Guest host Campbell Brown acknowledged that Dobbs has made immigration his issue: "you own it." Dobbs: "You cannot reform immigration if you cannot control immigration. And you cannot control immigration unless you control and secure your own borders. The rest of this is obfuscation and sham." Dobbs denied Campbell's assertion that Congress is doing just that, addressing border security: "If you would like to tell me how they're doing it? They're adding no border patrol. I was talking to Gov. Bill Richardson of NM last night. He was promised 269 border patrolmen this year - he has seen none of them." When Campbell plumped for one of the guest-worker programs, Dobbs fired back: "The 'comprehensive solution' is utter nonsense. It's language that means nothing. The fact is that we don't know how many illegal immigrants are in this country. The estimates range from 11 million to 20 million. . . . [11 million] is being commonly used because it suits the convenience of the agendas of the various parties. Bear Stearns did a study last year in which they extrapolated as many as 20 million illegal immigrants. . . It means a shift of 6-10 congressional seats based on those numbers alone." Brown then let her true MSM colors show with a softball question to Murguia implying that opposition to illegal immigration is veiled racism: "What are the racial undertones to this debate for many people? Is that something that worries you?" Murguia was only too happy to be worried, alleging that there are "racial undertones, anti-ethnic overtones." That's when Dobbs got off perhaps his best line of the morning. "The National Council of La Raza is talking about race? La Raza - what does that mean? It means 'the race'!"
