Our editors here at National Review Online pointed out last week that “It’s Worse Than You Think” with regard to the Senate’s preposterous amnesty bill. They were addressing specifically the fact that the Senate bill would immediately give probationary amnesty to virtually all illegal aliens, and that the much-touted enforcement “triggers” are therefore a sham, since legalization will already have taken place. What’s more, if the benchmarks (more miles of fencing, additional border-patrol agents, etc.) are not met, the probationary status would likely continue indefinitely, since there is no expiration date in the bill.
The editorial asks with regard to the possible failure to meet the triggers: “Does anyone really believe that the government will, at that point, make all of the illegal immigrants who have gotten ‘probationary’ legal status illegal again?” Common sense would suggest the answer is “no,” which is what the editors were getting at. But it’s actually worse than that. We don’t need to guess what will happen — we already know.
This kind of provisional or temporary immigration status is routinely offered under the rubric of “Temporary Protected Status.” Known as TPS, this is a nominally time-limited status granted to groups of illegal aliens, or visitors here on visas about to expire, because of natural disaster or civil unrest back home. They don’t qualify as real refugees because they don’t face the prospect of persecution, but we’re also unwilling to deport them to an unstable situation.
Despite the government’s protestations of temporariness, no one is ever made to leave; most grants of TPS are renewed year after year until everyone gets a green card.

Ouch !
If this travesty of a bill passes, how long will it be before the next amnesty bill is introduced? How many more illegals will come into this country as a result?
The bill hasn't even gotten to Arbusto's desk yet. Not that there's a question whether or not he'll sign it, but don't sell the gutless, worthless Republicans in the House, the Senate and the RNC short.
The Republican Party wrecked the Republican Party. Arbusto's just doing his fair share.

1st question ... soon.
2nd question ....unlimited.
Answers based on 7 previous emmigration bills,
all utter failures.
You can’t print what I think. But, I will tell you that I am ashamed of our alledged leaders for completely ignoring what the people truly want. What’s astonishing about this is that most Americans, democrat or republican or whatever believe this is a very bad bill. Only our elected leaders(I say that with a grain of salt)feel otherwise; and they have another agenda which they won’t share with us.
One other thing these idiots might think about; we, the public are tired of paying for your screwups.
I don’t say Impeach lightly either, but he’s played his hand. He’s in clear dereliction of his duty as President to secure and safeguard our borders. 6 years after 9/11, and the moron can’t bring himself to close the border. Instead he’s busy securing land in S. America where he and his family can build a compound/fortress while we live with his actions here in the UNITED STATES.
Bottom line: The day the shamnesty bill is passed, every illegal in the USA becomes legal, for life.
And every illegal who comes after, just has to produce a photoshopped water bill from 2006.
The same bureauacracy that sent automatic visa extensions to the 9-11 hijackers six months after 9-11 will be in charge of screening these 12-20+ million Z-visa applicants, based on 24 hour “background checks.”
God help us.
God help us.

Amen, because congress won’t.
Is it time to take up arms again? Is it time to take back OUR country by force? The politicians have lost touch with the AMERICAN citizen and appear to no longer care. How long are we supposed to let them continue to destroy our country, our children’s future and the hopes and dreams this country was founded on. I stand ready to take my country back.... how about you?
Don’t worry, it’s coming, thanks to the OBL traitors.
