This 'compromise' sounds like a really hard nosed bill on immigration.
As I understand it, the Senate is demanding AT LEAST two full years of lawbreaking to qualify for the coveted Citizenship award. None of this "I just started breaking the law a few months ago" stuff. Nope. They've put their foot down. Show at least two years of active lawbreaking or you will have to wait in line like those poor suckers who are actually following the law and applying for citizenship through legal means.
Have I got it right? Thank God for the conservatives in the House. "Help me Obi Wan Sensenbrenner, you're our only hope..."
