How about deportation for drunk driving? Will we have the guts and means to do this? How about those illegal aliens who don’t register for Z VISAS? Will we be deporting them. Is there funding and personnel to do this? What kind of crimes must a Z VISA holder commit to be deported? Who will carry out these deportations? Will they be funded. We all know ICE and the Border Patrol are underfunded and that there is very little interior enforcement. Will interior enforcement become real?

How many personnel and will they be funded to bring employers into compliance? Will be raiding barrio businesses that continue to hire unregistered illegal aliens? Will we be deporting those workers

What kind of welfare programs will Z VISA holders and their families be eligible for?

Will be hunting down and deporting those guest workers who don’t return home and who commit crimes

Since Ted Kennedys of the world claim we have only 12 million illegal aliens then cap the Z VISA program at 12 million. And cap the Z2 and Z3 visa programs at some number. Those visas are for spouses and children the Z visa holder is allowed to bring to America, another potential disaster when welfare goodies and free medical and free housing kick in for these families.

All of your questions are very pertinent, but of little importance to Bush/Kennedy and the core of those pushing amnesty. The goal is immediate legal status for the illegal aliens. All of the rest is the dance of the seven veils. Enforcement will be spotty, if at all. There will be endless, expensive administrative and legal review processes. There may be a few high profile expulsions for PR purposes, but the real bottom line is that all of the illegals here now and those who can present anything claiming they were here in 2007 will be made instantly legal.

Further, it looks like this bill will cut off all of the state and city initiatives to deny benefits to illegals. Can have any of those pesky state's rights get in the way of Bush's vision.

" How about those illegal aliens who don’t register for Z VISAS?"

This is my concern as well. Since our government has no idea how many illegals are here to begin with, and since the Amnesty Bill of 1984 proved to be ineffective, what guarantee will we have that those who fail to register for the Z Visa will be tracked down now and deported? We all know the government won''t pursue them. They haven't in the past, why would they start now?

The bill says that we taxpayers have to pay for immigration lawyers for them in the event they get detained. Doesn’t look like they want any deportations, but immigration lawyers are drooling.
