Immigration Reform in 2010? Here’s What’s on The Table Right Now.
President Obama hasn’t abandoned immigration reform, mostly because immigration rights advocates won’t let him forget about the promises he made. We’ve been hearing whispers and murmurs about talks that President Obama has had with lead immigration bill authors Senators Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham.

Schumer, a Democrat from New York, has been working for nearly a year on crafting a bill with Graham, a South Carolina Republican—and, the lone Republican working on immigration right now—that will pass through the Senate. We’ve heard no word that Rep. Luis Gutierrez from Illinois, who introduced his own bill in December, was there. (Though the unofficial word is that Nancy Pelosi and Zoe Lofgren, who chairs the House immigration subcommittee, don’t want to move anything through the House till they know the Senate will pass a bill.)

But La Opinion’s been keeping up with the latest developments from Schumer’s office. ColorLines spoke with Bill Hing, an immigration law professor at UC Davis and USF, about what’s on the table right now.

So this is what we’re looking at right now, starting with the positive:

-The 600,000 people with current deportation orders would get to stay and apply for legalization, unless they have a criminal record. This could include a broad range of people, from folks who’ve overstayed their visas to people who’ve been rounded up in raids. It’s looking like this bill will provide no protection for people with criminal deportation orders. Unfortunately, this is no surprise.

-An official registration system for people already in the country. There will likely be an open window for people to come forward and register and begin a legalization process. They would probably have to pay a “penalty,â€

He's made promised to all the American people and we see how well that is going!!! His word means nothing...it is only a bond to the Special Interestes that want to destroy our Country and way of life....

Here is how it will go.....We allow illegal immigrants to apply for legal status. The 500 dollar fine will not cover the cost of background checks, so those are bogus( to make US feel safer about the new legal workers). We will be promised a new "tamper proof" ID system for CITIZENS that will include our fingerprints or eye scans.
It will take years to develop the new ID cards and scanners. Employers will balk at buying finger or eye scanners and ACLU will hold it up in court-forever. So just like 1986 Amnesty, we will get millions of new legal workers to compete for scarce jobs, college money, food stamps and unemployment payments.
NOTHING WILL CHANGE, except that these arrogant job thieves will no longer fear getting caught. They will demand more money for the work they do, so that they can send for all their family members, legally and illegally. In ten years we will have 50 million more illegal immigrants to deal with because the workplace enforcement never materialized and all the remittances sent back to Mexico will pay the way for more border jumpers.

Why not just make E-Verify mandatory for ALL employers, continue to improve the database by cross referencing with deportation records and MAKE THE IMMIGRANTS GET A BIOMETRIC CARD-NOT CITIZENS !
All we need to do is ENFORCE OUR CURRENT LAW. If the government has failed to enforce current law, why should we believe they will enforce new rules?

Sure he kept his promise, he promised to Change the USA and is certainly doing that - for the worse.

Unfortunately? Is this IDIOT suggesting that even criminals be granted AMNESTY!?

If anyone wants to see how big an idiot the proponents of amnestry are send one of them south without a proper Mexican visa. Unlike our politicians theirs protect the rights of their people anyone who is a citizen can arrest an illegal alien there. The whole deportation process is run on a summary process basis. If the Mexican authorities take you into custody you are kicked out within two weeks. The presumption that any person calling the likes of Gheen a hater is that Americans are an inferior people and unworthy of the same degree of having rights to have our decisions on immigration respected in our country as the Mexicans do in theirs. So that if someone American is a proponent of our having as much rights as a Mexican we must be evil.
