DID DAN BURTON CALL FOR AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS?

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

There’s been a negative mailer circulating in the 5th Congressional District attacking Republican candidate John McGoff for his position on immigration.  However the people floating the mailer may want to also take a look at incumbent Dan Burton’s record.

While I was under the weather I was doing dome reading of HR 5456.  It was introduced by Dan Burton back in 2006 in response to the illegal immigration crisis.   Under Section 6 of the Resolution the bill gave illegal aliens six months to register with the Department of Homeland Security.  Once registered the illegals would get temporary ID cards and later permanent ID cards.  They would later get temporary residency status and later permanent residency status.  

This looks like amnesty to me.  I wonder when the negative mailers will go out about this.
