It was amnesty. There was no discernible difference between the Senate’s bill and the one in ‘86. It some respects it was even worse than ‘86. The one in ‘86 required that the illegal had to be living and working in the country for four years. The illegals in ‘86 were also required to pay back taxes to the IRS. Thanks to that idiot Chertoff, the illegals under the Senate bill wouldn’t have to pay back taxes to the IRS ( “too time consuming”).

Worse than amnesty...

There was an entire section of the bill that described the absolute culture of corruption that pervades every level of both the public and private sectors in Mexico. This section further outlined where and how US tax dollars should be spent (in mexico) to help change this outlaw cultural mindset (an effort akin to ridding America of hip-hop, MTV, baseball and McDonalds, voluntarily).

The section ended with the warning that unless Mexico drastically changed its cultural fabric then we would continue to see waves of illegals crossing the border, even if the bill passed.
