Here are some of the difficulties with it. Let us take loophole No. 1: Absconders and some individuals with felonies or 3 misdemeanors are not barred from getting amnesty. An absconder is somebody who was apprehended by Border Patrol people. detained. they did not have time to take him or her out of the country. they were busy. they did not have jail space. detention space for them. so they release them on bail. That is what they do all over the country because we dont take this seriously. and they dont show up when they are supposed to be deported. Surprise. They abscond. Absconders and some individuals with felonies or three misdemeanors are not barred from getting amnesty. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act. different crimes make aliens "inadmissible." "deportable." or "ineligible" for specific benefits. As written. the Specter substituteit is included in this billonly requires an alien to show they are not "inadmissible" to qualify for the amnesty contained in the bill. However. some felonies make an alien "inadmissible." but some do not. Abscondersaliens with final orders of removal who are currently watched by ICE immigration officersshould not be eligible for amnesty. They remain eligible for this amnesty. The KylCornyn amendment that was blocked by the other side so we couldnt get a vote on it. was designed to fix this loophole.
