If it ever passes, the "Z-visa" will be the greatest boon to criminal aliens in history.

All they will need to do is pluck names out of a Mexican phone book, and "pass" the instant 24 hour background check.

Killers and other criminals will have no problem obtaining fistfuls of 100% valid "breeder documents" for obtaining drivers license, credit cards, etc.

I don’t believe they would check them at all!

Your post just needed repeated with bold emphasis.

I'm still dumbfounded that Dubya would support the Criminal Alien
Protection and Importation Act (aka "comprehensive immigration reform"
act) of 2007.

The last few weeks almost leads me at least consider the concept
of demonic possession having some US politicians in its' grip.
Even if it's in the form of "compassion" for criminal illegal
aliens with the ugly fig leaf of "it's a sensible way of dealing
with our illegal immigration situation".

And part of the "beauty" of the bill is that, until Cornyn proposed an amendment otherwise, law enforcement couldn't use any of the info obtained in the application process to apprehend criminal aliens.

Kennedy came close to stroking out on the Senate floor when the amendment (which passed) came up for a vote, and the NY Times is blaming Cornyn today for "want(ing) to strip confidentiality protections for immigrants who apply for legal status, making them too frightened to leave the shadows.

Aargh, no! Republicans are frightening felons! Off with the nativists' heads! (end facsimile NYT rant).
