Those are the basic requirements under that 1986 law. Lets compare It to what is in this bill. which is very similar. The dollar amount fees are higher. more significant. but in terms of the nature of the requirements in this bill. they are disturbingly similar: physically present and employed in the United States since a certain date--January 1. 2007. $1.000 penalty and a $1.500 processing fee. meet admissibility criteria. background check. English language basic requirement. et ceterathe exact same type of requirements under the Z visa provisions of this bill. as well as the 1986. law. which "Blacks Law Dictionary" itself labels amnesty.
