Jon Kyl Is An Open-Borders Advocate

I suspect your first reaction is denial that Jon Kyl is an open-borders advocate. If you don’t believe me, read it for yourself – get the facts. You should pride yourself in forming your own conclusions from facts. The proposed Cornyn-Kyl legislation pending in the U.S. Senate has many good features that include badly needed revisions of current law that would reduce immigration abuses. However, buried in the middle of this vast bill is Title V, which creates a new "Nonimmigrant Temporary Worker Category.” That's a form of subterfuge, intentional misdirection, dishonest slight-of-hand, or a euphemism depending on your point of view for giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens already in the United States, plus creating a "guest worker" status both for them and for millions more aliens who will be invited into our country to take U.S. jobs.

Amnesty means a general pardon for offenses against the government. The Cornyn-Kyl bill includes no punishment whatsoever for the crimes committed by illegal aliens, by makers and users of fraudulent documents, or by employers who hire the cheap labor.

The Cornyn-Kyl bill would establish a new visa category appropriately called "W" for its possible namesake that would allow aliens to enter the United States "when there are no available U.S. workers." The bill would require employers to pay "W" aliens the minimum wage but not require the market wage – two tiered wage system. In other words, Silicon Valley corporations could advertise in "America's Job Bank" for computer specialists at the U.S. minimum wage, no Americans would apply, and thousands of computer specialists from India and Pakistan (or Mexico) would board planes to take the jobs for which, allegedly, "there are no available U.S. workers." The "W" workers would receive special privileges that allow them to extend their time in the United States up to six years, during which period their family members may come and visit for 30 days at a time. The bill doesn't address the predictable situations of what happens when the "W" worker is visited by his wife, and they have a baby who becomes an "anchor baby," i.e., a U.S. citizen, with all the rights and taxpayer benefits for the baby and all his relatives, including those not yet in the United States but now on their way.

Amnesty, even under the label "guest worker," cannot deceptively be made palatable by hiding it in a bill that pretends to be about "enforcement" or "reform" of border security.

I complained in detailed correspondence to Senator Kyl. I received a thoughtful personal correspondence in return (original on file). Jon Kyl (or a staff member who authored the letter) expressed what he said was Jon Kyl’s personal view that what we need most is some form of earned citizenship, guest worker program and/or illegal alien amnesty, i.e., we need, using his code words, serious comprehensive immigration reform.

It is an undeniable fact that Senator Kyl has yet to advocate enforcing existing immigration laws. And yet, the RNC on behalf of Senator Kyl has spent incalculable millions of dollars in Arizona running TV ads about how Jon Kyl opposes amnesty for illegal aliens. Adding insult to insult, Senator John McCain adamantly supports Jon Kyl’s re-election and publicly belittles his opponent as does one of the most liberal ‘fish wrappers’ in the nation, The Arizona Republic. Time Magazine, arguably the most left-wing magazine on national newsstands proclaimed Jon Kyl as one of the nation’s 10 best Senators.

Anybody but an ideologue will admit one simple fact –circumstantially, John McCain’s endorsement of Jon Kyl, coupled with Kyl’s extreme left wing media support, absolutely precludes Jon Kyl from the ranks of anyone willing to enforce existing or future immigration laws. Jon Kyl’s been in Congress twenty years and done nothing – nothing to stop the invasion. Why should anybody think Jon Kyl is suddenly going to do something now if he’s re-elected, except to continue to feed at the public trough for six more years and serve his own, and John McCain’s, left-wing agenda for the presidency?

Vote for Jon Kyl? I don’t think so.
