How many illegal aliens will apply?

Question

So - the new immigration bill passes allowing the illegal aliens to apply for amnesty. How many will actually apply?

To apply the illegal alien will have to Identity themselves as illegal aliens, agree to identify the jobs they have held in the U S and agree to pay any income taxes (plus fines and late fees) they have not paid. They will have to learn to speak English and spend 13 years in the amnesty process.

What illegal alien would do this?  If they fail to meet the standards in the application they will not get amnesty BUT they have identified themselves and will be subject to deportation!  What happens if they start the amnesty process and some time down in the future they fail to complete the amnesty process - what happens to them? They have been identified and investigated before they can enter the amnesty program so will they be deported?  Chances are in both cases they will just slip back into "{the shadows" with the vast majority of the illegals who elected not to chance the amnesty process!

I have read through the part of the bill suggesting amnesty and I can not find it; what provisions in the proposed bill covers these possibilities?

Why should they?  They have adopted to their :in the shadows" lifestyle and most likely are comfortable with it.  If they apply for amnesty they will have to come out of the shadows making them vulnerable for deportation when it turns out they can not pay back taxes or pass other parts of the amnesty requirements. They will then be deported. 


This immigration law they are trying to get voted in is stupid.  it will not fix the problems we have with the aliens and they will still be here. The worst thing is they will be able to stay so finding any work is going to be harder than ever.

They would be waived unless a serious criminal background like rape / murder. Beyond that they all will be waived including ones with no proof they have been in the country before the bill was passed. Expect 5-10 million more illegal aliens pushing in for Amnesty if it passes before the Amnesty is cut off. 

But yes every single qualifier can be waived by the DHS along with every tool established for enforcement as well. As we already see for the "Deferred Action" 99% receive it who apply.

I bet Most would. those who have established a life here and are not professional criminals have everything to gain and little to lose.

it is NOT an amnesty. crimes are not forgiven.Un- like when President Ford pardoned Nixon of any and all crimes he ( nixon) may have committed in office.
the bill is not yet passed.

doing NOTHING is also a decision. how will status quo help anybody?

notice you make a assumption that answers your won Q.
