Its key feature is rather that illegal aliens, according to press reports, can immediately have their illegal status wiped away with a temporary-residency permit, available virtually upon demand. That’s it. The rest is noise.

That's the money quote.

DU has a REALLY interesting thread going on this. They are of two minds on it. Strangely, some of them agree with us.

A note to the House: We are reading what has been proposed, and we understand how thoroughly irrational, senseless, and gutless it is. We see that it has been carefully crafted to give an appearance of resolute change... but that in reality it does absolutely nothing, and that the craftsmanship of trickery is both premeditated and deliberate. Any government official that supports it, including the President, brings shame upon themselves and upon this nation.

The Senate voted to make our country a weaker, more dangerous place. The Senate voted to take from those who obey the laws, and to give a reward to those who break them.

The senators who voted for this legislation voted anti-American. Period.

Want to solve the illegal immigrant problem?

Simply make them all legal and the problem is solved.

Brilliant ! ! !

Honest question: Is this amnesty visa, or Z Visa, or whatever you call it, available for free upon request, or does the illegal have to pony up a $5,000 fine in order to get it?

Honest question, part two: Does anyone really expect an illegal to fork over $5,000 in cash just to get a Z Visa?

This bill, if enacted into law, would also stop those pesky towns and states that have been passing ordinances cutting off services or requiring legal status verification of applicants before landlords can sign rental agreements. This completely Federalizes the issue and stops any attempt at states' rights or local control.

How many high school dropouts are there among the illegals?

Would they be an asset or a liability to the US economy in the next 10 or 15 years..?

Whether or not one has to show English proficiency and a knowledge of civics to become a citizen is irrelevant from an illegal alien’s perspective; a minute proportion of illegal or even legal Mexican and Central American immigrants come here with the desire to become citizens.

Why would you want to become a citizen? Fly under the radar -- free education, free welfare, no jury duty, no military service, nationwide "in-state" tuition, minority set-asides and affirmative action. Anonymity makes taxes optional, and in any event taxes are far exceeded by benefits.
