Deal Struck on Immigration Bill
May 17 01:05 PM US/Eastern
WASHINGTON (AP) - A bipartisan group of senators reached agreement with the White House Thursday on an immigration overhaul to grant quick legal status to millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S. and fortify the border against new ones.
One of the key negotiators, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said he expects President Bush to endorse it.
The deal came after weeks of painstaking closed-door negotiations that brought the most liberal Democrats and the most conservative Republicans together with Bush's Cabinet officers to produce a highly complex measure that carries heavy political consequences.
It set the stage for what promises to be a bruising battle next week in the Senate on one of Bush's top non-war priorities.

The key breakthrough came when negotiators struck a bargain on a so-called "point system" that would for the first time prioritize immigrants' education and skill-level over family connections in deciding how to award green cards.
The proposed agreement would allow illegal immigrants to come forward and obtain a "Z visa" and - after paying fees and a $5,000 fine and returning to their home countries - ultimately get on track for permanent residency, which could take between eight and 13 years.
They could come forward right away to claim a probationary card that would let them live and work legally in the U.S., but could not begin the path to permanent residency or citizenship until border security improvements and a high-tech worker identification program were completed.
A new temporary guest worker program would also have to wait until those so-called "triggers" had been activated.

Immagine if you will a plan so complex so vast that it is beyond your comprehension, and that this action is part of such a plan. Simple actions to create simple, predictable reactions, slowly steering the populace up the ramp. |

I dont care if they're legal or not, I'm not doing business with'em, not hiring them.
If there are some kinda race riots or they try and take over the country even more I wont be checking greencards, just flags. I don't care if they've been here for three generations since Reagan amnesty, like Alberto Gonzales. |

You want a little background so you can understand what they are saying behind your backs. However you dont have to stoop to their level and speak it. USA is still an eglish speaking country last time I check. Demand english to be spoken!!!! |
