Here are some of the stuff that's relevant to us:

Address the Undocumented. John McCain will address the fact that we have a large number undocumented individuals living in the United States and working in our economy:

• All undocumented individuals will be required to enroll in a program to resolve their status.

• This program will use background checks to identify criminal aliens for prosecution and deportation.
  
  • Assure that the remaining undocumented immigrants learn English, pay back taxes and fines, and pass a citizenship course as part of a path to legal status.
    
  • Guarantee that no person here illegally receives a green card before those that have been legally waiting outside the country.
    
  • Do a proper accounting of all social security numbers used and attained illegally, rectifying the accounts and alerting those whose identity had been compromised.

• The program will also ensure that all undocumented aliens either leave or follow the path to legal residence. America cannot permit a permanent category of individuals that do not have recognized status – a permanent second class.

• In addition, the program will provide a system that is fair, humane, realistic, and ensures the rights of the individual and families will be protected.
  
  • Ensure that families are reunited.
    
  • Address in an expedited manner the status of individuals brought here illegally as minors through no will or intention of their own.
