At first I thought it mught have been McCrazy pulling the back taxes provision. But it turns out to be the WH. I knew they'd have to go. After all who's going to process 15 million tax returns?
And yes, the $5,000 fine will go next, or at least the $4,000 to be paid later during the Z1 validity.
Which reminds me (and sorry for the bold), but these are questions we all must ask of this bill:
Who's going to process 15 million Z1 visas and 30 to 40 million Z2 and Z3 visas?
Where is the paperwork on 15 to 50 million applications going to be stored?
Who's doing verification on 15 to 40 million Mexican, and Honduran, Salvadorean birth certificates and other official identity documents?
Who's doing 15 million to 40 million NCIC criminal background checks?
Who's doing 15 to 30 million home-country criminal background checks?
Who's validating the "continuous employment" requirements of the Z1 visa?
Who's doing 15 to 40 million medical waivers (do they have TB and/or AIDS)?
Where are the personnel to handle the above?
Who's paying for this stuff?

Remember, all those Z1 background checks are required to be done within TWENTY FOUR HOURS!
Does anyone in the Senate realize what an unmitigated DISASTER that is going to be....??

All three of them are willing to damage this country. Only McCain is the craziest of the bunch.

Maybe that is the idea. This bill makes one wonder if it was drawn up by the insane or by traitors.

This is significant because the current system has produced 600,000 absconders those under a deportation order who have disappeared while remaining free, itself a separate crime.
If we can't catch and deport 600,000 multiple law breakers how in the world are we going to identify 12 million plus illegals, of whom at least a third are those who have let their visas or other temporary documents expire.

I have finally come to the sobering conclusion that Bush and Rove are simply contemptuous of the conservative base. There is no other rational reason for them being so hell bent on signing this monstrosity into law. Period.
From the standpoint of the Republican Party this bill is so disastrous in so many different ways I don't even know where to begin. And all of this is being done with the benefit of hindsight with regards to the flaws and failures of the disastrous '86 Amnesty.
Once this bill is signed it will irrevocably tip the balance of electoral power towards the Democrats. There will be no going back. The GOP will join Gray Davis in political oblivion.
F**k it. As someone said on another thread,
"... at least we won't have gay marriage in Ohio.".

The brutality of the French Revolution - is making a lot more sense now...
Most of our own Congress Critters have reached the point where the guillotine seems an appropriate retaliation...

And, as an aside to this amnesty outrage, “...Democrats’ $2.9 trillion budget plan, an outline for the largest tax increase in U.S. history.”

I have to wonder if McCain is so bitter and angry about not being elected in 2000 that he seeks revenge on the voters that shut him out. I think he is just crazy enough.

Weve been meeting for three months on this in good faith, and now you parachute in here this morning and tell me to leave?
You just have to love that line.
