A news article from a couple weeks ago when the Senate was attempting to sneak the amnesty bill through, mentioned some things that could use further discussion. It appears the Amnesty Bill was even more terrible and dangerous than we thought.
Breitbart reported on June 27th that “The Senate on Wednesday killed a Republican proposal to require all adult illegal immigrants to return home temporarily in order to qualify for permanent lawful status in this country. Also defeated was a Democratic bid to restrict legal status to those who have been in the United States for four years.”
