On the Amendment S.Amdt. 1267 to S.Amdt. 1150 to S. 1348 (Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007)

Voted on Senate floor against amendment to increase illegal immigration in 2007
Sen. ZZlastnameZZ voted against the Bingaman Amendment (SA 1267) to S. 1348 to The Bingaman Amendment would have removed the requirement that Y \"temporary\" nonimmigrant workers (as provided for in the underlying legislation) leave the United States before they renew their visas – not by modifying the length of their authorized stay (i.e., up to six years), but by mandating that they be given visas that expire after two years and that are renewable twice. By not requiring \"temporary\" workers to even prove their status as \"guests\" in our country, this amendment would encourage more visa overstays and further disregard for the rule of law. The Bingamen Amendment failed by a vote of 41 to 57.
