Here is a draft of the bill. I have gone through quickly the 326 pages. There are increases in various catergories of immigration including citizenship and green card quotas in the future. That really isn't as important as the fact that the Y visa[400,000 a year guest worker program] and Z visa holders [the 12 to 20 million illegals] will be able to bring in their spouses and children, and in the case of Z visa holders, their parents. The HIB visa quota has been increased from 65,000 to 115,000 in 2008 and eventually to 180,000. [Page 217}
The Dream Act has also been incorporated into the bill. [Page 295]. SS cards will be issued to Z-visa holders. {page 292}
From what I've heard, my criticism of the bill is that the illegal aliens would get to jump the visa line, which would be a disadvantage to those who wait for a visa to come into this country. This precedent would only encourage more to come here illegally.
Anyone here is automatically given legalized status so they don't need a visa. They can also travel back and forth to their home countries.

The poster that I was responding to mentioned the implications of the illegal aliens becoming citizens. To which I responded that I have "heard" that there was no increase in citizenship quotas.
While what you mention about the "Z" visa and this new "regularization" status is troubling, it in and of itself doesn't effect the citizenship numbers which was my point.
I do thank you for your link but minus the support you give to your claim that the green card quotas will go up, only a look through of this monstrosity from the link that you provide, will apparently make that point.
