It recognizes reality, does not reward illegal behavior and has political side benefits. Illegals currently here will have an opportunity to become legal. That sounds like rewarding illegal behavior to me...

If I am reading it right, the illegals will have no advantage over people who remain in their own country and apply, in terms of achieving citizenship.

Or, they can go home, and apply from Mexico without the fine.

Can become legal aliens (not citizens) by being documented, paying a fine, remaining employed, and jumping through some hoops.
Now if that is enough of a burden to discourage more illegals, I doubt it. But it's not exactly what I would call a reward.
