This socalled compromise will be an expensive one. not only for Hispanics. blacks. and Asian Americans. but for all of us. The only control established with this legislation is on paper. but the problems it creates will be quite real. Even the legalization program has been severely altered. All the qualifications in the program will render it ineffective. It will not draw out the many undocumented persons living in Americas shadows. It will not solve their problemsor ours. This was the one provision in the bill that held up some hope for many of us who have fought against the bills injustices.
