Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- August 6
Dobbs:
And there's a great distrust. I mean, you look at the approval
ratings. You hear from your constituents. There's just a great
distrust of this administration, this Congress, whether Democratically
led or Republican led, that you all can do anything right.
Specter: Well, that distrust is well-founded. But I think
that we have finally come up with the money to back up -- back
up our words. And with respect to the 12 million who are undocumented,
I'm floating an idea. I'm not introducing legislation. But floating
an idea just to remove the fugitive status, not to deal with
citizenship, but just to say that an unscrupulous employer can't
hold the threat of reporting him over his head. And if fugitive
status is removed, we can get them to register. Get them to hold
a job. Pay back taxes. No citizenship, which is the guts of the
amnesty worry.
