Read #7. They are being sneaky. There won’t be any taxes, unless the illegal actually goes for a greencard, years later. So they can probably avoid the blue slip by doing it this way, as no taxes will be generated, unless the alien goes for a greencard years later, if ever. On the new Z visa, an illegal alien can renew it ad infinitum, and never even bother to apply for a greencard, which is what would trigger their having to return to their home country (touchback) to apply for the card. Why would any of them go, when they can remain legal residents on a visa without ever having to apply for a greencard to become an actual citizen. What a scam.

“Why would any of them go, when they can remain legal residents on a visa without ever having to apply for a greencard to become an actual citizen. What a scam.”

With this Z visa, do they have a right to vote? A right to entitlements?

This is a big concern of mine.

The vote is a powerful thing, and giving it to them is just not an option.

Remember also that the House has an amnesty bill of its own, Flake/Gutierrez. I think they could pass that bill and then, when it goes to the Senate/House conference committee, merge in the senate bill's text. Many house members would like to kill this thing, though.

Amazing how much I have learned from just this amnesty cr*p :)

See my tagline.

Illegals who have two years of college or military will be issued green cards three years after the bill is enacted provided that they were brought here when they were under the age of 16. They dont have to go home.

This is one sweet deal, and I would expect a good number of these young people to take the privileges of permanent residency. They probably wouldnt owe much in back taxes given their young age.
