Brillint!! I guess we all know that every single one of those 12 million invaders will say they have been here over 5 years. Duh..

Also, it's interesting that the reward of citizenship goes to those that have been breaking the law the longest.

How the hell do they expect to do background checks on people who aren't officially here? Are we going to rely on those fine mexican record keepers in Mexico who want to ship them here anyway?

Back taxes? Again, they aren't officially here.

Makes one wonder who is more stupid: the Senators for coming up with this and thinking the American voters will buy it, or the American voters who will return most of these Senators to the Senate next time they are up for election.

Does the Senate really expect millions of the invaders to return to their countries of origin and return legitimately? It will hinge on the provisions and mandates for enforcement. That is the problem with the 1986 bill -- it has provisions, but no enforcement. Without enforcement, the new bill will be meaningless.

Don't worry, there is a background check. That will show that they broke the law by entering the United States illegally. As law breakers, they will be denied citizenship. /s
