We have heard the proponents of the bill on the floor of the Senate discuss how it is not an amnesty bill. They point to the strict requirements that current illegal workers must meet in order to adjust their status. Illegal immigrants under the base bill. in order to adjust their status. must learn English. pay back taxes. pay a stiff penalty. and go to the back of the line in order to apply for citizenship. The people who are telling the American people this are obviously not referring to the AgJOBS portion of this bill. If they read the AgJOBS portion of this bill. they will see that. in fact. there are substantial differences relative to the requirements for adjusting status.
