They will have quite a number of arguments why they should stay. The chairman of the Appropriations Committee. Senator ROBERT BYRD. was correct when he stated in the committee markup: "This amounts to amnesty." Although the amendment stopped short of giving all illegal aliens who get the 5year amnesty visa an automatic pathway to citizenship. it specificallyget this. This really must be a great lobbying group. We need to find out who lobbies for these people. It stopped short of getting most of the illegal aliens who get the amnesty visa an automatic pathway to citizenship. but it specifically creates a pathway to citizenship for sheepherders. goat herders. and dairy workers. Why were they picked out. please tell me? Does this make sense? They would get a 3year visa which converts to a green card. which is a permanent resident status. and with the right within a few years to apply for citizenship. It is most distressing. and most distressing to me at the most fundamental level. We have to think about this.
