The immigration bill under consideration will be a disaster for the Republican Party.

For every alien offered citizenship, those who vote will break 3:1 for the RATS from coast to coast.

The illegal aliens will not get their citizenship in at least 10 years from now. They need to go back to their home country to apply for a Green Card where the process take 4 to 5 years to get it, then they need to stay on the Green Card for another five years to apply for a citizenship, then they need to wait a year or more to get the citizenship after the application.

The vast majority of the illegal immigrants will not take the risks described above, but they will be more than happy to just get a working visa where they can work and go back and forth to their country without being deported.
