On the Amendment S.Amdt. 4101 to S. 2611 (Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006)

Voted against amendment to create additional guestworker visa categories in 2006
Sen. ZZlastnameZZ voted against the Hutchison Amendment (SA 4101) to S. 2611, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006. The Hutchison Amendment would require the State Department to grant a Secure Authorized Foreign Employee (SAFE) visa to a national of a NAFTA or CAFTA nation who meets specified requirements. The \"E\" visa is already a visa for treaty-trader countries, thus the Hutchison Amendment would have just created more unnecessary \"guestworker\" categories. The Hutchison Amendment failed by a vote of 31 to 67.
