Petitioners implore Hatch to oppose 'any amnesty'

People like McCormick need to get a reality check. Comprehensive immigation reform is needed. You are not going to get rid of over 12 million illegals that already live in the U.S. so we better find some way to assimilate them into our society. Also, people like McCormick have no idea how much this country relies on immigrant workers. Yes we do need to secure our borders but this is a massive issue that just can't be stopped by a fence along 3,000 miles. So as a fellow Republican I urge all members to the party and this State to be cautious with making demands on the immigration reform issue. This is a huge issue that will require a lot of thought and thinking out of the box.
