If enacted, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S.2611) would be the most dramatic change in immigration law in 80 years, allowing an estimated 103 million persons to legally immigrate to the U.S. over the next 20 years—fully one-third of the current population of the United States.

Not acceptable.
This is somewhat "dated" as the Senate reduced the cap and also eliminated the "automatic" year to year increases of guest workers.
This must be stopped. Lets keep up the pressure on our representatives.
The new "cap" is still way too high.
The new cap is now between 63 million and 80 million in 20 years..
That may well be true but it makes this analysis obsolete.
ROTFL... hmmm sorry.
ignore that one... it was supposed to post to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1633662/posts
This bill will never see the light of day. But what does it reveal about the Senate? We are being overrun by illegal immigrants, so they concoct a bill to increase legal immigration by an order of magnitude. Out of touch? You betcha!
Factor in that if they can get "earned citizenship" they can petition for 16 family members to come in too.
How would this sit with the Republican party?
Do you think these people will vote for Pubs?...or the Dummies?
Absolute bull crap!
Face it ... the flood gates are to be opened, and the wages will plummet.
Now, finally we can all get behind Kennedy's minimum wage increase bills.
The Senate did reduce the numbers a bit but the jerks who wrote up that piece of legislation are still there. They must be identified and punished.
The Senate VOTED Wed nite to only allow 8 MILLIOM !
If we could guarantee that HALF of the newcomers would be forced to live in a US Senator's neighborhood, they'd drop that to a couple of dozen in a sec.
Thsi is nor longer the case. An ammendment has changed this outcome.
