How are these "poor" illegals going to come up with 2K? Not sure I could right now.

"help fill jobs that Americans either cannot or will not do"

How the heck do they know. Its for jobs they dont want to pay anyone to do. Most illegals get robbed more often by their employer than from other illegals. This is to keep a permanent underclass in this country. A real sleazy peice of legislative crud.

"There is no moving to the front of the line, there is no free ticket," Kennedy said. "This is not amnesty."

Some of them may not even want citizenship in the first place.

If this goes through a Republican controlled House and Senate and is signed by the President, I will never vote for a Republican again.

People seeking legal status would have to pay a $2,000 fine, apply for a six-year temporary status, have a job, pay taxes, learn English and show an understanding of U.S. government.

And if they don't, we deport them? What difference is this going to make? Why would illegals go to the trouble, when all they have to do is what they're doing now?

America has been thrown under the bus, once again.

NO AMNESTY

There needs to be a deadline set for the illegals to obtain citizenship.

The spigot for easy money into the Mexican economy needs to be turned off or at least backed off. Mexico needs to open up its business economy to all of its citizens instead of a small elite class who make it impossible for the average entrepreneur.

Kennedy told the committee the proposal was not an amnesty. People seeking legal status would have to pay a $2,000 fine, apply for a six-year temporary status, have a job, pay taxes, learn English and show an understanding of U.S. government.

Horse Hockey....the only thing that will happen is what always happen when these bloated liars spew their verbal flatulence...

A huge bureaucracy will be formed...to waste more money...nothing will be done....or enforced...no fines will be paid no one go to jail of any consequence and they will all pat themselves on the back at some well publicized ceremony...and the tax payer will get screwed as per usual

Under pressure to produce broad immigration reform legislation by the end of the month, ...

Whoever is applying that pressure is in no way in touch with what a large segment of the populace feels about this massive criminal invasion of our country. If this is coming from the Republican leadership, then they are choosing a very poor time to push this; if it is coming from elsewhere, then the leadership should put the kibosh on this foolish exercise in an election year.
