The legalization program has no safeguards. It does not provide protection against aliens purchasing false documents. e.g.. leases. affidavits. etc. to prove they have been in this country the required number of years. In addition. the amnesty program will be an incentive for more illegal aliens to enter our country. The limitations as to who will be eligible for amnesty will not filter down to the citizens residing in economically depressed countries. They will only hear that amnesty is being granted and the Influx will start. Amnesty is a bad precedent for our country to set. It shows our country is not serious about enforcing its immigration laws. It truly makes our borders in the southwest borderless. Aliens will continue to come to the United States hoping in the future they. too. will be granted amnesty.
