Washington Times Op-Ed
Rep. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, is the author of the Enforcement First Immigration Reform Act.
Unless House Republicans come to their senses and stop a politically miscalculated rush to judgment on immigration reform, Dec. 15 may end up being a bittersweet date in our history. It will be remembered as the day Iraq moved to proclaim its sovereignty through legislative elections at the same moment America began surrendering its own.
House leaders have scheduled a fateful vote for tomorrow that will render America's borders and immigration laws -- thus its sovereignty -- meaningless. The vote will set our nation on an almost irreversible course toward the enactment of a guest-worker amnesty plan that will legitimize the invasion of the more than 10 million illegal aliens already here and open our borders to unknown millions more.
