Yes, the expiration of whatever is eventually given to everyone is a major concern. But, like I said I could see work authorization given instead of RPI. RPI seems to be a bit too permanent for the Republicans. Work authorization will eventually expire, fees will be paid to pay for some part of the border security measures and we get some sort of normalcy.

I would just like for them to get moving because before you know it, the end of the year will be here and I don't want December to come and the bill is still in committee.
