Cannon Immigration Advisory Committee Releases Final Report
For Immediate Release
May 1, 2006
WASHINGTON, DC— Congressman Chris Cannon (R-UT) today announced that his Immigration Advisory Committee has released the Committee’s final report and recommendations. The Committee is comprised of nineteen members, who represent multiple view points of the immigration debate.
A copy of the full report can be obtained by calling Congressman Cannon’s office at 202-225-7751 or by clicking here.
“With the immigration debate being so divisive and difficult, the Immigration Advisory Committee hopes Congress will adopt comprehensive immigration reform that does not provide amnesty, but does address the root causes of immigration and changes the current incentive structure. A well-thought-out guest worker program accomplishes such a task,” the report reads.
How about a root cause being that capital can freely move but not people? Where is the equity in that?
“Those who are currently living in the United States illegally will have the necessary incentives to come out of the shadows and begin the process towards legality…Such a guest worker program will help solve many of our immigration quandaries,
What “incentives”?
but to have a full solution, we must also fully secure our borders, provide visa reform and vigorously enforce our laws internally.”
Does this mean that the parents and grandparents with children that were born here will only be able to work here for several years and then have to return to their country?”
The report also concluded that illegal immigration will continue to be a problem until Mexico and Latin America are economically empowered to care for their own citizens.
How will that be done? If you read between the lines, does that mean U.S. “intervention” of these countries to “bring them a better economy” (like the U.S. did for Iraq)?
“This is an extremely important report which reflects a consensus view of some of the best minds in Utah on an immensely difficult issue. This report has the weight of well-reasoned stances, and will be invaluable to have on hand as Congress tackles the ongoing immigration debate,” Cannon said.
Best minds? What best minds? I’d like to see the list of best minds.
