It gets worse than that. The Senate bill has different rules for people who have been here less than two years, 2 to 5 years, and more than five years. Imagine how difficult that is going to be to enforce. Moreover, the Senate bill wants to deport people who have been here less than two years ignoring the fact that we can do that now under existing laws.

According to the provisions in this new Senate bill, all they have to do is sign an affidavit stating 'I've been here x number of years, and I owe $y amount in back taxes.'

[There are no provisions for verification, nor any provisions for punishment for lying on the application.]
