Speech #990083253

The anomaly is this: What is going to happen to people who are eligible for legalization while they are waiting? Can they be hired legally? Are they going to be deported. although they are eligible for legalization 3 years down the road? I cannot believe that it is the intention of this bill that we are going to make it illegal to hire somebody whom we are going to legalize a few years down the road. I cannot believe that we want to hold out the promise of legalization to people and thenthat promise for many who cannot be hired.
