Pro-immigration groups blasted the proposal. Angela Kelley of the National Immigration Forum said it was completely unworkable as well as massively expensive.
"There is no reason for the millions of illegal immigrants to come forward. We don't think this bill takes us in the direction of fixing our broken immigration system," she said.
Michele Waslin of the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Hispanic organization, said illegal immigrants would not sign up for voluntary deportation.
"There's no viable path for them in this bill to gain citizenship and that's problematic," she said.

This is workable and it can be done! If the illegals do not want to leave then a bounty of $2,000.00 can be placed on them.Those who help them to hide illegals within the country should be prosecuted for aiding a foreign enemy- fined, imprisoned and loss of property, citizenship and deportation.
We cannot afford to play games with these people, our country, our lives and the Lives of our children are at stake.
"as well as massively expensive?"
Kelley advertises her ignorance.
It is costing the border states alone 15 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to allow illegals to stay here. Again, at those prices we could round up every illegal and his family and fly them home FIRST CLASS and still be ahead of the game at the end of the year.
Secure the borders, fine employers who hire illegals & deport them(including the incarcerated) and their families.
Ike did it, so can Bush!
Semper Fi,
