"Z" Is For Zero

The Congress and President Bush, without any review from the American people, are about to grant what is effectively amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. They insist that it's not true, and the Republican National Committee (which made the mistake of calling me last night for a donation) put out this information about the new requirements for illegals:

Illegal immigrants who come out of the shadows will be given probationary status. Once the border security and enforcement benchmarks are met, they must pass a background check, remain employed, maintain a clean criminal record, pay a $1,000 fine, and receive a counterfeit-proof biometric card to apply for a work visa or "Z visa." Some years later, these Z visa holders will be eligible to apply for a green card, but only after paying an additional $4,000 fine; completing accelerated English requirements; getting in line while the current backlog clears; returning to their home country to file their green card application; and demonstrating merit under the merit-based system.

Probationary status is another way of saying you are no longer illegal. Folks, "Z" stands for zero, because that's how much of the above things will actually be done by those who are now illegal and will soon be legalized by this legislation.



GOP Presidential candidates who support this legislation are dead to me.
