I get the impression that the legal immigration processing is hopelessly slow and complicated. Comprehensive reform may not really be comprehensive enough. I see progress in the implementing of passports and biometrics and I was very encouraged when they realized those 10 Egyptian students had gone awol and found them.
Think maybe part of the reason is the millions that cross illegally and deman to be made legal from inside the country?
I understand there are still folks being processed from the 1986 Amnesty. How about when Clinton told INS to rush the process for millions of applicants so they could vote RAT in time for the elections. Al Gore was in charge of expediting that. All while the ones who did things the right way waited.
No one seems to give a damn about those who try to do things the right way. It's becoming a theme of modern American life.

Youre under the impression that CIR will help legal immigrants? Show me a bill thusfar that helps in any substantial numbers any immigrant from outside of the Americas and Ill support that bill. It hasnt been written yet. When you support CIR you are supporting an immigration preference for Mexico first and secondly latin america. The rest of the worlds immigrants will be kept out in greater numbers by this "reform".
