His conviction. however. did not specifically bar him from seeking American citizenship because under the law aiding an organization that routinely fires rockets on innocent civilians. families. and neighborhoods. abducts and kidnaps individuals. and has most recently staged a violent coup of an established unity government does not in any way affect your " good moral character. as currently written. It is a dangerous shortcoming of our laws which will not be addressed because of the closed and secretive manner in which this bill is being considered. I wish also to limit the timeframe for an appeal to 2 years so that court proceedings do not drag on endlessly. wasting tax dollars. and allowing those who are not entitled to the benefits of our immigration system to remain here indefinitely under the cover of an appeal. These are only five of the amendments which I wish to offer which I think would make this bill better. if I had a chance to offer them and if Senators had a chance to vote on them. Others would make it harder for gang members to qualify. force immigrants to file a change of address notification with the Department of Homeland Security when they move. and authorize the detention of dangerous aliens during their deportation trial. Unfortunately. under the process the majority leader will provide us. no opportunity for these measures to be considered will be allowed and. thus. they will not be in the final bill. Rather. the worlds greatest deliberative body will be presented with a bill that has not been fully considered. will not be fully debated. and where there will not be an adequate opportunity to offer and vote on amendments.
