That is my personal view. We will see how it goes. I would say. with regard to the qiuestion of moving to citizenship. there are at least five preferential treatments toward citizenship given to the illegal alien population by this bill. Preferential treatment. First. illegal aliens who rushed across the border between January 7. 2004the date contained in last years billand January 1. 2007. this January. will be eligible for amnesty. This includes illegal aliens who have been here for a mere 5 months. They would be eligible for the amnesty. be eligible to be put on track for citizenship. even if they came into our country last December 31. Remember. we called out the National Guard. the President did. after the American people put the heat on. called out the National Guard. We are building fences now. not enough. but we are building barriers. We are increasing agents and we are saying: The border is closed. But we turn around and have a bill that says that somebody who got past the National Guard. got past the Border Patrol. got around the fence. is now going to be put on a path. guaranteed path to citizenship. Now. I dont think that is good public policy.
