Senate Immigration Bill is AMNESTY
It's clear that the Senate Bill offers citizenship to illegals w/o going through the normal process of legal immigration. Bill supporters that it isn't amnety because:
Illegals have to pay a fine of $2,000
Illegals in the country more than 5 years get amnesty (from deportation), and then have to wait 6 years before becoming legal citizens
Well, the Senate Bill is full of holes, and really offers citizenship to all illegals.
First off, the fine of $2,000 is due, however, this little gem is in the Senate Bill:
"WAIVER.—The Secretary of Homeland Security may waive any other provision of section 212(a), or a ground of ineligibility under paragraph (4), in the case of individual aliens for humanitarian purposes, to assure family unity, or when it is otherwise in the public interest."
Humanitarian purposes, like being very poor? So they will pay the fine if they can afford it and if not, oh well. So there is no penalty for not paying the fine, making it a meaningless condition.
As for offering special status for illegals here over 5 years, that too is a crock. 100% of illegals are going to say they have been here 5 years, and the benefit of the doubt is given to THE ILLEGAL, to the point where the burdern of proof is on DHS to prove the illegal has not been here 5 years! All an illegal has to say is: "I have been working for cash for 5 years, DHS; you prove otherwise". Since they can't, he is considered to be here 5 years.
Even if illegals were truthful, the length of time is also a crock. The current wait time for legal immigrants from the country of Mexico is 13 YEARS from today; applications are being considered today for people that applied 13 years ago. So to be truly fair to the legal applicants, then instead of illegals getting automatic citizenship after 6 years, they should be considered for citizenship after 13 years. That's how long they would have to wait if they applied legally (13 years); yet they get automatic citizenship after 6 years?
The Senate Bill is amnesty, plain and simple.

This is CRAZY! How can the Senate do something like this? Is this likely to be passed?
When does this Bill get voted on?!
The Bill has to go in conference between the House and Senate first, then it gets voted on.
