From US Border Watch


A run down of amendments so far and what they mean. Now some I have
made calls on to senator's offices to get clarification. Anyone see
anything I've missed or misinterpreted let me know.

Isakson - would have forced the security of the border, before
amnesty. It was defeated and this may have been the most important of
all

Salazar - this gives the power to the president to implement amnesty
before security if the house changes the bill. This one took a lot of
phone calls to figure out but looked fishy from the beginning to me.
Bad thing because we already know the president's view

Dorgan - limits the number of guest workers. Good move and saves us
from 100k new ones.


Bingham- limits guest workers also

Kerry- adds 1000 new border agents, helicopters, and a bunch of speed
boats. Not near enough to do any good

Kyl - bars felons, and those with 3 misdemeanors from amnesty, also
those who have not left the country when ordered to. Allows exception
for those not given notice. Good amendment. Has not passed yet but
likely will

Inholfe - English as an official language,was put off but will likely
fail.


I think that is it so far. If I've missed naything one of you smart
folks let me know
