In an e-mail shared with "The Right Views" by a Senate staffer, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) introduces a substitute bill to the controversial immigration bill and provides a PDF and a Word text file highlighting changes to the bill.

The e-mail from Schumer's office reads:

"Senators Schumer, Graham, Durbin, and Flake, or another Senator, may offer the attached amendment as a substitute to S. 744 at the markup scheduled for Thursday, May 9, 2013. A redline summary of the changes made to S.744, as filed on April 17, 2013, is attached. A document containing a summary of the changes made will be provided as soon as possible.

It maintains the entry requirement age at 16, no age cap, DREAM Act beneficiaries as well as those already granted DACA qualify after 5 years for Permanent Residency with the preceeding time in provisional status automatically pro-rated to count as 5 years of lawful status towards citizenship.

Only thing that sucks (for me, at least) is that if you have a final order you do have to file a motion to reopen rather than it being automatically void/invalidated when you're granted provisional status.

I hope this is enough to appease the House.

Forcing individuals to file a motion to reopen and terminate/dismiss a deportation order is a burden to the courts and to the immigrant, plus it will divert the thousands of dollars that the incompetent immigration bar members (lawyers) will want to charge people to "file" it.

Really, people will have to have thousands to apply, to pay their back taxes, to save for school, to save to start their own businesses now that they won't be allowed to "not work" for more than 60 days in a decade, etc, etc. Whose bright idea was this?

Has anyone else read most of the new Senate bill? I did this afternoon, and now I want the previous version back. Still, better than the ridiculous House bill custom-build for the GOP instead of immigration reform. Sigh...
