Nobody believes for one minute that this plan can be enforced, that is why everyone calls it an amnesty. Look at it this way, right now it is completely illegal for them to be here and they refuse to simply enforce that black and white statute.

What happens if they don't come forward to get the visa? Will they be stopped from entering illegally after the proposal is enacted? What happens if they don't leave after the 5 years (or what ever the time period is)? What stops them from entering again as illegals? What is being done to secure our borders?

I have asked this over and over and no one answers.

All these concerns were brought up in a recent Congressional hearing. They know!

If a new proposal is made and becomes law, it will work, or the congress will pay the price. They know and understand the feelings and the failures of the 86 act and the resulting lack of ability to enforce it. they understand that what ever they do, it must be approved and vetted by the public.

To blindly oppose any changes to the immigration mess is to accept the status quo.

I for one do not accept it and am open to a complete rewriting of the code. I refuse to get rhetorical and criticize something that has not even seen the light of day.

That is all I am going to say on the matter. I have said all that I plan to, until such time as there is some action on this. I do not expect anything until next year.
