The proposed CIR gives illegal alien temp status for 8 years. During those years one has to pay taxes. I'm sure that one will not be able to get ANY government benefits during that time. And after 8 years officer will interview prospective alien and if he/she sees that alien barely makes money to support himself and theoretically can become a burden to taxpayers officer can deny Green Card to the person based on few backdoors they have in the proposed CIR bill like the lack of English. That's the way I look at the proposed CIR. Correct me if I'm wrong. But during those 8 years alien WILL pay taxes therefore contribute to USA economy. Proposed CIR is good and bad in the way. It's sort of a trap so Republicans SHOULD vote yes on it as it is the only way to make any money on us versus wasting money on enforcement.
