I don’t understand how anyone can claim that this comprehensive immigration bill promotes security first. In 2006 over 800 miles of fence was approved but as of May 2007, all we have is claims to build it. The proponents of this immigration bill talk about 370 miles of fence being built as one of the triggers for the amnesty portion. However, the bill gives every illegal a provisional visa the day that the bill is signed. There can never be another foot of fence built and all the current illegals will have their visa and there will be nothing to stop the next 20 million from coming. The main leverage that we have is that we need the fence built before anything else happens. We are all too familiar with the politics as usual especially concerning immigration. The only way to get real reform is one step at a time. The first step is to stop the flow coming in before trying to solve the problem with the ones that are already here.
