Immigration...

Hot Topic. New Bill.

Thoughts?

I'm a bit peeved about it and hope that some serious changes happen before this gets signed.

1) I'm not sure that I like the fact that people get amnesty and never have to become citizens. The does not make a lot of sense to me.

2) Granting amnesty simply because you do not want to or cannot enforce laws seems stupid to me. I mean what makes this bill any more enforceable?

3) The registration process for all types of work (including your lawn person, maid, or handyman) seems laborious and invasive.

4) Edward Kennedy.

On a positive note:

1) I do like the point system as it will help ensure that we get the best of the best. That is truly what has made this country a leader in the past and this point system seems to help continue that tradition of getting the best and brightest from other countries.

2) Border security seems to be improved through this bill. Unfortunately, I have not been able to read the opinons of anyone other than Chertoff on whether this is enough.

Any other thoughts?

Roll Call

Gang,

Please respond to this if you want to continue to be on this blog. I want to ensure we have some posters and not lurkers. We probably will be adding some people as well.

Thanks,
Nym
