You may have something: the text of your file has section 218 identical to section 217 of what I posted from.

And Section 301 in the document I posted has the same title as the Section 302 in your document.

The contents of section 301 vs. 302 are quite similar though not identical.

And yes, Z-Visa is mentioned in your document, but not in the one I posted.

I may have to do a point-by-point on the document you posted.

Cheers!

Thanks. As I said, one of their mantras is that their opponents are "uninformed."
Saxby Chambliss, after he was bood by his state GOP members:
"After the speech, Chambliss said he took the crowd’s reaction as a lack of popular understanding of the shape of the current immigration system."

YOU ARE NOT WORTHY TO RECEIVE THE WISDOM OF THE GREAT SAX!

GW... It is looking like dddfd is correct, or at least a whole lot of folks like NRO and Heritage are singing the same song. Both links to documents take you to the May 18, 2007 11:58PM "Draft" of the "Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007" versus S.1348, the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007."

While this may be a new draft, one wonders how a 790 page document was widdled down to 326 pages but capable of adding all sorts of new stuff that was not in S.1348. It also makes you wonder how politicians that go to such lengths to hide things from the public can stay in office.

The NRO-hosted PDF file was apparently first posted yesterday by Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner:

The Senate's Comprehensive Immigration Reform Package
by The Heritage Foundation
FYI
Working behind closed doors for months, a handful of Democratic and Republican staffers, along with a few senators and principals from the Administration, have been drafting a “comprehensive immigration reform package.” Until Saturday morning, the legislation was unavailable to any other senators or staff, let alone the media, policy analysts, or the general public.
This legislation would be the most significant reform of immigration policy in 40 years, affecting not only our national security and homeland defense but the fiscal, economic, and social future of the United States for several generations.
For the sake of open deliberation and public education, The Heritage Foundation is making this legislation, in draft form, publicly available to encourage widespread debate and discussion.
The document made available here, although marked “DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY,” is being relied upon by senators and staff as the final language to be debated beginning on Monday, May 21, with the expectation of a vote on final passage—without congressional hearings, committee mark-up, fiscal analysis, expert testimony, or public comment—before the end of the week.
