08:28 H | Topics: Controversia - Immigration

border_fence.jpgLate yesterday, the Senate gave the green light to immigration legislation with a 62-36 vote. The legislation gives funds to beef up security at the U.S. southern border, a revamped guest worker program, and a please don't call it amnesty path to citizenship which would include fines and an English language requirements. Arizona Republican John McCain said:

Why not say to those undocumented workers who are working the jobs that the rest of us refuse, come out from the shadows.
Most conservative Republicans just want to get rid of the shadows all together, favoring a House bill which focuses on border security and criminalizing undocumented immigrants. Put on your fighting gloves ladies and gentlemen as we move into round two.
