Bill S-1348 (Now S-1639) Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 

Some of the Many Loopholes in this Amnesty Bill 

  1. Instant legalization, once the president signs the bill into law, all 12 to 20 Million  illegal aliens will instantly gain  some kind of  a legal status with the new Z Visa.
  2. 24 hours only background check , the same government that can not find hundreds of thousands of criminal aliens will have 24 hours to decide if you have a clean criminal background and if they can't do it  in those 24 hours, well you are home free, you qualify for the new amnesty 
  3. the bill will allow gang members to get amnesty as long as they “renounce” their gang membership on their application.
  4. No back taxes  required to be paid. According to politicians, It will be very hard to estimate how much back taxes illegals owe,  so just don't bother. These are the same politicians that tried to sell us the 2006 immigration bill which was blocked by the house,  telling us that the illegals will have to pay back taxes , what a difference a year makes, we wonder  what will change next year.
  5. Amnesty recipients would impose a likely net cost of $2.6 trillion in Medicare and Social Security Benefits according the heritage foundation.
  6. Aliens who broke into the country illegally a mere 5 months ago, are treated better than foreign nationals who legally applied to come to the U.S. more than two years ago. Aliens who can prove they were illegally in the U.S. on January 1, 2007, are immediately eligible to apply from inside the U.S. for amnesty benefits, while foreign nationals that filed applications to come to the U.S. after May 1, 2005 must start the application process over again from their home countries. Last year’s bill required illegal aliens to have been here before January 7, 2004 to qualify for permanent legal status. [See pp. 263, 282, & 306].
  7. Some aggravated felons – those who have sexually abused a minor – are eligible for amnesty. A child molester who committed the crime before the bill is enacted is not barred from getting amnesty if their conviction document omitted the age of the victim. The bill corrects this loophole for future child molesters, but does not close the loophole for current or past convictions. 
  8. No Medical exams on any of the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens before  legalizing them, most of them never been vaccinated against deadly diseases.
  9. Current illegal aliens and new guest workers will be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, a refundable tax credit designed to encourage American citizens and legal permanent residents to work. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this loophole will cost the U.S. taxpayer up to $20 billion dollars in just the first 10 years after the bill’s enactment.
  10. Records from day-labor centers  and “sworn declarations” from any non-relative (acquaintances, friends, coworkers, etc) are to be accepted as evidence that the illegal alien has satisfied the bill’s amnesty requirements
  11. Free legal counsel and the fees and expenses of arbitrators will be provided to aliens that have been working illegally in agriculture. The U.S. taxpayer will fund the attorneys that help these individuals fill out their amnesty applications
  12. In-state tuition and other higher education benefits, such as Federal Loans, will be made available to current illegal aliens that are granted initial “probationary” status, even if the same in-state tuition rates are not offered to all U.S. citizens.
  13. Though the bill will eventually eliminate chain migration (relatives other than spouses and children of citizens and legal permanent residents), it will not have full effect until 2016. Until then, chain migration into the U.S. will actually at least triple.
  14. The criminal fines an illegal alien is required to pay to receive amnesty are less than the bill’s criminal fines for paperwork violations committed by U.S. citizens, and can be paid by installment. Under the bill, an illegal alien must pay a $1,000 criminal fine to apply for a Z visa, and a $4,000 fine to apply for a green card. Eighty percent of those fines can be paid on an installment plan.
