That's why they called them "Z" visas --- because they wanted a letter as far away as possible from the dreaded letter "A" for "Amnesty" ----

Z VISA translates into instant legalizations. They will create a huge bureaucratic backlog and mess during which ALL DEPORTATIONS WILL CEASE while the paperwork is being sorted out for the next twenty years

Don't Be Fooled [Heather Mac Donald]

Republican supporters of the Senate’s latest amnesty bill are trying to distract voters by dangling before them the requirements for an illegal alien to become a citizen or purchase a green card. These requirements make this bill a tough, no-cave-in reform, proponents say, that responds to the public’s outrage over immigration law-breaking. Don’t be fooled. Prerequisites to citizenship or permanent residency status are irrelevant to whether this bill rewards law-breaking or will encourage more in the future. Its key feature is rather that illegal aliens, according to press reports, can immediately have their illegal status wiped away with a temporary-residency permit, available virtually upon demand. That’s it. The rest is noise. Whether or not one has to show English proficiency and a knowledge of civics to become a citizen is irrelevant from an illegal alien’s perspective; a minute proportion of illegal or even legal Mexican and Central American immigrants come here with the desire to become citizens. The naturalization rate among qualified Hispanics has traditionally been negligible compared to other national groups; it started rising only when Congress required citizenship to receive welfare benefits.

There is no ambiguity about the effects of amnesty. Everywhere they have been introduced—including in Europe—they have brought in their train a new flood of illegals. This latest bill will do the same.

I would like to know how much different is this one from the one during the election Bush said he would not sign?

I pray the senate gets it togather!

I was on an Irish site last evening and they were discussing this immigration bill. The are an estimated 500,000 to 750,000 illegal Irish in this country. The advice from the Irish embassy was for the illegals to file for th "Z" visa as soon as possible. So the Irish embassy knows that there are Irish here illegally and are offering to assist their citizens to break our laws. Finally, one poster pointed out the hypocrisy. They assist their citizens to break our laws but demand that illegals be deported from Ireland. I thought this is mind boggling. Why is it that every country in this world thinks it has the right to invade ours? Round them up and send them the hell home, where ever home maybe.
