It makes no fundamental change. It starts us down the road to an internal passport system. but in an insidious and fundamentally flawed way. It may be impossible to establish an immigration policy that is at once reflective of our historic open door and our fear of inundation. Yet. that is what this bill seeks to do. It would have us avoid being a police dominated state on the order of. say. Switzerland. yet achieve the same result. The bill is too little. in that regard. it will not enable effective border control. Yet it lays a great burden on a considerable minority of legal residents and native born citizens. who have the fate to bear an alien appearance or maybe speak with an accent of some kind. It seeks to grant a generous amnesty. yet harshly penalizes people who are identical in all but date of arrival. The bill moves to little to alter a fundamentally flawed quota system. too much in the direction of a police state. and too awkwardly to make any real difference in our historic dilemma.
