McCain's proposal

Yeah, the statements made in the article do not match the Bush proposal.

No green cards in the Bush proposal.

BTW, the current law says the sanction for illegal entry is a three year probation.(minimum)

So, with that in mind, they all can apply for a green card in three years regardless.

Thankfully, Bush went the Cornyn route, not the McPain route. McCain proposal was an amnesty proposal.

There is also a Kennedyesque proposal to add to the current already existing guest worker program in the ag sector.
Bad idea.

The Bush/Cornyn route is the least harmful of the three.

Exactly. If the status quo were so great, we would have a problem, would we? :-)
