Under the bill. we are trying to give people a pathway to citizenship that would be earned and that would add value to our country. Senators KYL and CORNYN have made this a better bill because the one thing we should all be able to agree on here is you are not adding value to the country when you openly admit people who are criminals. who are mean and hateful. and who keep breaking the law. There is another group of people who are subject to deportation on the civil side. I think it is very fair that in a limited class of cases. we will allow people on the civil side subject to deportation a chance to make their case anew in terms of being eligible for a future guest worker program that may become our Nations law based on the base bill. Who are these people? If you are in a civil deportation hearing and you can demonstrate that you never received the order to leave. then we are going to give you a second shot. It is hard to comply with something you dont know about. That happens on occasion. Second. we are going to allow you. on the civil side receiving a deportation order. to make an argument about how it would affect your family and take the human condition into consideration. There is a unique group of people who come to this countrynot by illegally crossing the border and overstaying their visawho are one step ahead of a death squad in some foreign land. It could be Haiti or other places. it could be Cuba. with an oppressive Communist regime. and the only way they can get out of that country to come here is it make up a story that would keep them from being killed.
