What’s the catch ? There’s got to be a catch, I doubt a Dem would introduce a bill like that with the big possibility of being called a ‘racist’.
My first thoughts too. This has to be total BS. No breathing RAT can be trusted with this issue.
believing in nonsense like this.."SELF-DEPORTATION"..
It's another government operation. No one expects government operations to accomplish anything. Sometime during the four years this is supposed to help we will hear that we need a "comprehensive" program to make this work.
The first catch is that Shuler knows the bill can't pass. While there is wide support for more internal enforcement/employee verification, there is going to be opposition because it is not comprehensive. Recall that there were many who voted against the recent Dream Act legislation, because it wasn't comprehensive, even tho they supported the Dream act.
The second catch is that Shuler has not included the linking of Real ID to employee verification. He has also not mentioned the merging of the SS and DHS databases.
Read the thing, those that came the first three years would not be effected, which means all those that came before that period would not be either.
“What’s the catch ?”
It’s this - as the price for putting this on the calendar, the Dem leadership will ask for an amendment, the substance of which will be:
“The provisions of this bill shall not apply to anyone who was in the United States in any status before November 1, 2007.”
