It requires Mexican "cooperation" to protect our own borders. This bill provides amnesty. but tries to calls it "earned legalization." Proponents of the bill say that this is not amnesty. and that an alien has to meet certain conditions. but do they really? Illegal aliens in the amnesty program are supposed to pay a fine of $2.000. However. that $2.000 fine only has to be paid "prior to adjudication." or up to 8 years from now. And they get a benefit Americans would love to have. Under the bill. illegal aliens only have to pay 3 of their last 5 years in back taxes. They get an option of which years. while Americans do not get that choice. It give employers a free pass for hiring illegal aliens. The bill says that employers of aliens applying for adjustment of status "shall not be subject to civil and criminal liability for employing such unauthorized aliens." Unbelievable. The bill will dramatically raise spending and increase welfare costs.
