I dont think that is being oppressive. That is making people pay for violating the law. It is a punishment that is consistent with a nonviolent offense. Another condition is that you must learn English. Why did we make that a condition of coming out of the shadows? I think Senator KENNEDY and every other person on that side of the aislethe Democratic side of the aisleunderstands that to require an illegal immigrant to learn English is not unfair. If we thought it was unfair. we should not have put it in the bill. Why did we put it in the bill?
