"...100 days in the 18-month period before Dec. 31, 2004 and meet certain other criteria would be eligible for temporary residency.
Once the worker obtained temporary residency, he or she would have to work another 360 days over at least the next three years and no more than six years to be eligible for permanent residency. The spouse and children of farmworkers who obtained permanent residency would also be eligible for permanent residency."
Lets see.......that means that one person must work for a total of 460 days within a 7 1/2 year period, and is therefore rewarded along with a spouse and children.....how on earth would one make a case that this many people could have existed on 460 days pay for 7 1/2 years? Gimme a break! By the time the reward occurs, there will be 7 anchor babies born and then the farce matters not........but we will have financed it that long with a long list of social benefits.....the unearned kind......to the tune of at least 6 figures a copy.
""...100 days in the 18-month period before Dec. 31, 2004 and meet certain other criteria would be eligible for temporary residency."
Work 100 days out of 547 days, for those who think that crops are not harvested on weekends, work 100 days out of 360 days.
No wonder these people need subsidies!
When they become citizens they will understand the public assistance programs better than the people who wrote the programs or the legislators who approved them.
Can you tell me a reason why they will not continue being the parasites they were prior to citizenship?
One more qustion, can you tell me the benefits of citizenship for them?
A permanent Green Card would be their permanent membership card to the worlds largest and best public assistance program sytem known to man!
