I agree with "questionsihave"... some of you think that some of us are against CIR, our parents would benefit from CIR; and we all love our parents.

but CIR is holding us back allot. don't forget that there is an age limit on DA. CIR is more universal. Obama is very smart, hes trying to show the public that he has the power to secure the borders, and that he will be able to enforce the law after CIR; cause don't forget, people who have been here less than 2 years; they will be ordered removed, people who been here 2-5 years will be required to go to a port of entry and apply, people who been here 5+ years would apply directly; so all that CIR law would have to be enforced. including labor laws. (the reason why its set up like this, is because its not an Amnesty, its not for everyone; its especially made to benefit the ones who have laid down roots here. and we all know that living here for 1 year isn't really laying down roots)
this current bill may be a bit different; but its basically the same game-plan as to who would qualify according to length of residence.

now don't forget that just because we are all descent people, don't mean that every undocumented person in the U.S is, the point of the bill is to also separate the future contributors from the abusers.

Durbin didn't tell me that he wont push for DA as a standalone. but Obama made it clear he doesn't want things done in pieces.

The Amnesty that happen in 86' benefited only about 3 million undocumented people. now, its 4 times more. so you all have to understand; its not easy at all.
Senator Schummer (NY) said that he will have a bill up for vote by October; late fall. and Shummer is a crazy SOB; he can work miracles. I personally believe what the senators say, rather than some one sided media.

p.s.
you are all fat
