RE :”The legislation would reward students with higher status the further along they are in pursuing their education. Those who earn a four-year college degree or complete military service could apply for a permanent visa that wouldn’t put them on a new path to citizenship, but would allow them to join existing lines by getting married to a U.S. citizen or finding another opportunity to adjust their status”

Amnesty ping!

How did they get in the military to begin with if they are illegal? Lie ???
And this just validates lib states like Maryland using our taxpayer money to send illegals to college.

Maybe they should have to agree to never apply for US citizenship.

You don’t have to be a citizen to serve in the US military. In fact, it’s a way to earn citizenship.

I'm not sure if that is a sarcastic remark.

1) Such a condition in a bill would have to get through congress, where it could be changed to "... have to agree to never apply for US citizenship unless....or until....," or it could be deleted entirely. Or the courts could interpret that to mean that they agreed to that at one time, but changed their minds. Once the amnesty juggernaut starts rolling, it will be hard to stop, no matter what it says.

2) The courts do invent new "rights" for illegals, e. g. Plyler v Doe: we have to pay for their education. A perfect opportunity for a new "right" would be citizenship. Obama could have 1 or 2 chances to put more lunatics on the SCOTUS.

3) New congresscritters and EOs in the future. Even if the same crowd stays in power in congress, at best they seem indifferent to the notion of importing leftists voters. At worst, maybe they want to have a more "manageable" electorate.

I like that. Which means it's probably a pipe dream.
