Let me take a moment to raise some concerns about the compromise before US. The compromise provides for a threetier system. It puts illegal aliens into three categories. Those who have been here for 5 years or more automatically get a glide path to citizenship. Those who have been here for 2 to 5 years have to go homeat some point in the futureand reenter through a legal channel. Those who have been here for less than 24 months are illegal aliens. and we assume that they will return to their home country. Some have estimated that there are 7.7 to 8.5 million illegal aliens who have been here for more than 5 years. That is more than 75 percent of the illegal population. But that is not all. The compromise says that the family of the illegal alientheir spouses and childrencan also apply. It doesnt say that their family has to be in this country. In fact. those back in their home countries are now getting a free pass to cross the border.
