RLS Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 From her statement in Support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform: "These immigrants live furtively. They are subject to work abuse, exploitation, threats, and blackmail. This bill would provide them with an opportunity to come into the light of day. But it wouldn't be easy for them. It is not an amnesty. An amnesty is instant forgiveness with no conditions. There are conditions on this. They must pay a fine of $2,000, they must learn English, they must have paid all back taxes, and they must be evaluated as neither a criminal or a national security threat to this Nation. Also, they would not go in front of anybody in the line. There are presently 3.3 million people waiting in other countries legally for green cards, and those people should and will be processed first. It is estimated it will take, believe it or not, up to 6 years to process 3.3 million. These workers, these undocumented 12 million would go at the end of that line, and then, one by one, they would come through that line." For what it's worth . . . Link to comment

A Mafan Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 There's a lot of crap in that statement. The numbers I've seen, they would only have to pay 3 out of the last 5 years of back taxes. And "back of the line" is a rhetorical device. They'd still be in the U.S., whereas the people "in front of them in the line" would still be waiting outside the U.S. Unless something has drastically changed in the compromise bill, that is. then I'm totally wrong.

That will never fly with me and is a direct slap in our faces. "end of the line" my @$$ Link to comment
FuManChu Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Maybe the mods can lock this thread please. It is getting political again, just like in the TC. If not, I have already stated my liking of the comprehensive immmigration approach as a nice balance of practicality and compassion for those already here. 'Cheers! Link to comment
LeeFisher3 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 It is very obvious that the people in Congress once again have no clue as to the process or resentment they will gain from those who did or are doing the process according to the law. All of the comments about going to the back of the line should provide for a priority by anyone who is currently processing for AOS and all those who come in the future who followed the rules. But I seriously doubt they wish to make 12 million people wait that long to be able to vote. Link to comment

Balance and compassion would happen by bringing our loved ones over in a timely matter. Edited May 31, 2006 by IluvmyLi (see edit history) Link to comment
