I think they will try again. I am not so sure they will succeed, especially with the economic situation as it is. It will be difficult to argue the cost of amnestying all of those people and giving them the right to access public benefits.

I bet they do it. They'll just make all these people pay a big penalty along with all the other fees they pay for every form they file and they'll bring in billions in fees and not have to waste manpower going after the illegals who aren't getting in trouble for breaking other laws. These illegals would not be eligible for any benefits they aren't eligible for now. Even legal permanent residents aren't eligible for most benefits until they have their green cards for five years, and I don't think they're going to make all these people be LPRs right away. I don't know what they are going to do exactly. I just know both candidates are for amnesty, as are an awful lot of businesses and an awful lot of our legislators. It's coming. I'd bet money on it.
