I agree "Good for Frist"

BUT

The time for promises has passed, the time for action is about 20 years ago so better late than never.

Yes, at this point, we are closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.

There are so many illegal immigrants and so many formally illegal immigrants who have been granted amnesty, that they make up an important and powerful interest group in the country today.

Please check out what Frist is actually proposing. Here it is according to Bay Buchannan. Take it for what it's worth.
There was another source explaining this last week on FR.


Here is the really bad news. While Senator Frist’s bill has little to no
amnesty in it, it is NOT an enforcement only bill. It more than doubles
green cards—it would take our legal immigration numbers from 1 million to
over 2 million a year!!

If you take the two bills out 10 years, Kennedy/McCain/Specter would
legalize 25 million foreigners during the next decade and Frist would
legalize over 20 million! And the Frist bill goes on forever with those
huge annual numbers.

Both bills would be disastrous for a country!!

And these numbers don’t include the increase in H1B visas and the like.
Kennedy’s bill wants to take the 65,000 that come in today and increase it
to 165,000 annually—a 100,000 more a year! That’s nothing compared to
Frist’s plan. He wants to increase these visas by 400,000, so nearly
500,000 foreigners could come take American jobs every year!!
