Immigration debate heating up in Senate By NEDRA PICKLER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER Saturday March 25, 2006, to protest federal immigration legistlation. The House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The Senate is to begin debating the proposals Tuesday. (AP Photo/Ann Johansson) WASHINGTON -- Founded by immigrants and praised as a haven for the oppressed, the United States now is struggling to decide the fate of as many as 12 million people living in the country illegally. The Senate takes up the emotional debate on the heels of weekend rallies that drew hundreds of thousands of people protesting attempts to toughen laws against immigrants. Among the ideas that President Bush and members of Congress are considering: -Erecting a fence on the Mexico border to deter illegal immigration. -Treating people who sneak across the border as felons to be deported. -Allowing foreigners to stay in the country legally as custodians, dish washers, construction workers and other low-paid employees. -Allowing those working in the U.S. a path to citizenship. -Requiring them to get in line behind everyone else back in their home countries who want to become Americans. On Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee takes up the issue and Bush headlines a naturalization ceremony for 30 new citizens at Constitution Hall. Demonstrations are planned near the Capitol, including a prayer service with immigration advocates and clergy who plan to wear handcuffs to demonstrate the criminalization of immigration violations. continued.......... seattlepi.nwsource.com
