The details of this bill make a mockery of that distinction. Why do I say that? It is because under the provisions of the bill that say how an illegal alien may prove how long he has been in the country. there are many different types of proof which are acceptablecertain documents. certain sworn affidavits from employers. certain records. But another form of acceptable proof is nothing more than a statement by that illegal alien himself. signed by that person. a piece of paper saying: I have been in the country some years. under these circumstances. here is my signature. Again. for this to be an acceptable method of proof to put an illegal alien in the best category that offers the best track to citizenship. a program I would absolutely characterize as amnesty. obviously means that these distinctions. depending on how long you have been in the country. are meaningless. In practice. all a person has to do to put himself in the best category. the most lucrative category that will lead to this amnesty. is to sign a piece of paper saying it is so. That is an enormous invitation to fraud.
