The Durbin amendment. as filed as of the end of July. would do a number of things. It will. indeed. provide amnesty. the full panoply of rights we give to any citizen who comes here lawfully. It provides a full citizenship track and full rights for quite a number of illegal aliens. putting them on a direct path to citizenship. A conservative estimate done by the Migration Policy Institute suggests that at least 1.3 million will be eligible for amnesty. It will also allow current illegal aliens. those who would be provided amnesty under this bill. and future illegal aliens who come here after this day. illegallyhopefully. I thought we decided when the comprehensive bill was voted down. the American people were saying lets end illegal immigrationit would provide for them to be eligible for inState tuition at public universities. even when the university denies inState tuition to U.S. citizens and legally present aliens. It would reverse 1996 law that quite rationally said lets not reward people who are here illegally by giving them a discounted rate of tuition. How much more simple is it than that?
