The bills drafters say amnesty applicants will be at the back of the line and will not be treated preferentially to those who have followed the law. That is not true in a number of cases and in this case. The bill allows the illegal aliens who got here 5 months ago to cut in line in front of people in the family green card backlog who filed their applications after May 1. 2005. 2 years after. Illegal aliens who came to the United States 5 months ago will get probationary Z visa status 1 day after filing a Z visa application. I suppose those who followed the law. who made their application properly. who waited in line may wonder why they didnt come illegally also. Isnt that the message we are sending? So this provision in the bill does not restore respect for the rule of law. It erodes it. At a minimum. no illegal alien should be treated better than a foreign national who applied to come legally. The amnesty date should be moved back to May 1. 2005. I will have an amendment to that effect.
