People planning a hunger strike in San Francisco might want to change their focus – they’re blaming Sen. Arlen Specter, R-PA for the big bad anti-illegal immigrant bill, but it’s a HOUSE bill sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-WI.
Specter’s actually a pretty decent pol who has a much more humane proposal on the table.
Specter’s proposal would actually create a process for illegal immigrants to gain legal status and his efforts have won the praise of numerous immigrant advocates. It’s Sensenbrenner’s bill that critics say would criminalize illegal aliens and those who harbor and help them.
