Okay. They will no longer be "undocumented," meaning we know who they are and where they are.

Employers will have the right/obligation to ask for their "documents" and to see that they're subsumed into the economy where they'll ALSO have to pay taxes, etc.

Sorry. That was two. I'll shut up now....
