The biggest hole I see with the “amnesty” bill, is the one which isn’t apparent, and which is certain to come up shortly after the bill passes, if it does.

The hole is the number of years. So, the number of years mentioned before someone becomes legal, might be 11 years.

But, soon after the bill passes, there will be millions of illegals and thousands of liberal legislators, including all of the liberal members in congress, and the president, who will look to speed up the process. The excuse for speeding it up will be along the line of, “well, we will be legalizing them in 11 years, so, what’s the problem with speeding up the process?”. Then there will be new bills introduced to cut the years to 5 or 3 or 1, or even none. If we accepted that those 11 million (no doubt many millions more) could be legal in 11 years, the logic for rushing for quicker amnesty, will be logical to most who are now in approval of the bill. And so, amnesty will be with us a lot quicker than most people had expected, and the current bill will have been just a stepping stone to almost immediate amnesty.

Yep. So true. It is part of the liberal mindset, the analogy to: “We can’t stop certain types of behavior, so we need to guide it and make it as safe as possible.”

In this case, liberals will highlight the “personal costs” incurred by those coming over the border, how dangerous it is, how useless it is to build fences, etc. as a justification for speeding up the process.

We will be making people needlessly suffer with our laws, you know.
