WASHINGTON — Conservative supporters of a comprehensive immi
gration reform plan are stepping up their efforts to provide Republicans with cover for a looming vote in the Senate, pushing back against their brethren at the Heritage Foundation and other groups that have launched an assault on the proposal.On Thursday, American Action Forum President Doug Holtz-Eakin unleashed the latest in a series of conservative broadsides against Heritage for it's 2007 report questioning the costs of giving 11 million undocumented workers a pathway to citizenship.
seems to be more fighting within the ranks of the right wing then with Progressives frankly, i'm luvin it.
"The study is not relevant to immigration reform in any way. That is, a paper presumably about reform does not shed any light on what reform legislation would do," Holtz-Eakin writes in a blog post published Thursday morning. Holz-Eakin, who is the former director of the Congressional Budget Office, also points to a 2006 report by Heritage that was far less critical of immigration reform as a "better-designed and well-reasoned economic analysis."Heritage is currently in the process of updating it's 2007 report, which will reportedly make the case that the federal budget will sky-rocket as the 11 million new citizens begin to take advantage of federal benefits.
