The GOp had 12 years to repair the immigration gadget. fairly they sat on their butts on a similar time as 12 million human beings entered teh u . s . a . illegally. additionally they did no longer concern to enforce the winning regulations for 12 years. The GOP had a huge gamble to assist a conservative reform bill this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. fairly they blocked. Now we are going to get extra liberal reform expenditures. If the main suitable-wing would not like that, hard. that they had over a decade to do something--and chosen to no longer. Now they might take the outcomes.

The GOp had 12 years to fix the immigration system. Instead they sat on their butts while 12 million people entered teh country illegally.
They also did not bother to enforce the existing laws for 12 years.
The GOP had a chance to support a conservative reform bill this year. Instead they blocked.
Now we are going to get more liberal reform bills. If the right-wing doesn't like that, tough. They had over a decade to do something--and chose not to.
Now they can take the consequences.

Did anyone read this? The actual legistlation?
You make it sound like this would cover all of them.
An estimated 65,000 immigrant students who meet these requirements graduate from high school each year.
Immigrants who meet the above requirements would be eligible to apply for a temporary six (6) year "conditional" residence permit which would allow them to live legally in the United States, obtain driver's licenses, attend college as in-state residents, work legally (including obtaining a social security number), and apply for special travel documents which would allow for travel outside of the country for limited amounts of time.
During the six years of conditional status, the eligible immigrant would be required to either (1) graduate from a two-year community college, (2) complete at least two years towards a 4-year degree, or (3) serve two years in the U.S. military. After the six year period, an immigrant who meets at least one of these three conditions would be eligible to apply for legal permanent resident (green card) status. During their temporary time, immigrants would not be eligible for federal higher education grants such as Pell grants, though they would be able to apply for student loans and work study.
If the immigrant does not meet the educational or military service requirement within the six year time period, his temporary residence would be revoked and he or she would be subject to deportation. During the six years, the immigrant must not commit any crimes other than those considered non-drug related misdemeanors, regardless of whether or not they have already been approved for permanent status at the end of their six years. Being convicted of a major crime, or drug-related infraction would automatically remove the six year temporary residence status and he or she would be subject to deportation. If the immigrant meets all of the conditions at the end of the 6-year conditional period, he or she would be granted a permanent green card with the same rights as a permanent resident alien, including the right to apply for U.S. citizenship".
It's fine if you don't support that, but at least present ALL the facts.

I will pay careful attention to who supports this. And yes, this is far worst than what Kennedy and Bush offered.
from article:
Gives amnesty to any illegal alien claiming to have arrived in the U.S.
prior to age 16.
-- Any illegal alien can apply, no matter the current age.
-- Amnesty recipients can then sponsor family members, creating a massive
"anchor teen" loophole that puts amnesty within the reach of millions
-- Illegal aliens who apply cannot be deported.
-- Illegals can get taxpayer-funded in-state tuition rates, meaning your
tax dollars will pay for illegals to go to college!

Who is the Senator or congressman that penned his name to this piece of "work"? Don't just give us the grassfire news item. Give us more details so that we can respond quickly.
Note to poster above:
Bush is addressing the illegal alien problem. He wants to let all of them in, with as much pot as they can carry. Just ask Ramos and Compean. at a federal prison near you.

I don't know about this time around but the last time it also involved some Republicans too. It is for votes, more money, and well, greed. Goes to show, especially the Democrat party, how they will sell this country out so fast just for more money and to get votes.

I do not support that! I do not support amnesty when Bush wants it and I do not support it when my own party wants it.
