Last year it was over 700 miles. Next year it will be 150 miles. The year after that it will be zero. It really doesn't matter what is in this piece of trash legislation. Whatever the president doesn't enforce the Congress will change.
It’s a crock. “Probationary” Z visas (the amnesty) are available IMMEDIATELY after the bill is signed. These “probationary” visas become real Z visas once the “triggers” are met. There IS NO DIFFERENCE between the real and probationary Z amnesty visas except the name. (And the triggers are a joke, congress already passed a fence bill AND, in 2004, passed the intelligence bill that included 2000 more border patrol agents EVERY YEAR until 2010. So two of the much vaunted triggers are actually in place.) Oh, and the triggers have been met once the Secretary of DHS SAYS they have been met, it’s some weasely “funded and operational” formula that means nothing. (Sorry, it’s after midnight and I’m getting sleepy!) Either Chambliss is deliberately lying or he’s too friggin dumb to have read the language. Go to Heritage Foundation’s website (heritage.org I think) and read the language — it will curl your hair. It posted a couple other places on the web too.
