This is the second step to earning legalization. The third step is that on an annual basis. each individual who applies for an orange card would submit to DHS documentation either electronically or by mail that shows what they have been doing in that year. the work they have carried out. that they have. in fact. paid their taxes that year. and whether they have been convicted of any crime during that year. either through court documents or an attestation. and they would pay a $50 processing fee. These three steps. plus the required wait at the back of the green card line. clearly indicates that this is not an amnesty program. The legalization in the orange card must be earned. and it must be earned over a substantial period of time. It would be available to all who are here from January of this year. This language will ensure that there are enough funds to run the program because there is a $2.000 fine that would be dedicated to paying for the administration of the program and a $50 annual processing fee. For example. assuming there are between 10 and 20 million undocumented aliens already in the United States who would have to pay a $2.000 fine. if 10 million came forward. that alone would raise $20 billion. So the program would be covered. By including this language. this amendment protects against creating a new burden on taxpayers and ensures that the Federal Government has the necessary money to make the program work.
