As a law abiding, naturalized citizen of the US, I hope that this bill will not pass. If you speed on a freeway, you get a ticket. If you jay-walk, you get a ticket. If you follow the rules, you spend years dealing with INS and their stupidity and inefficiency, lost documents and time. If you enter the country illegally, you get to become a permanent resident?!?!?My experience is that the government cannot be trusted in enforcing the provisions of this bill. Here is an example, from my personal experience: the "language" and "U.S. history" requirements for naturalization are a joke. I know, since I passed through this process. Basically, you have a list of 100 questions, all of them insultingly trivial (i.e. what are the colors of our flag?). As for the language proficiency, there is no standard. Which amazes me - when I came to this country as a graduate student, I had to take TOEFL - 'Test of English as a Foreign Language'. Why not impose the same requirements on all the aspiring immigrants? Another point is that it makes me sick that in my new country, I have to push 3 buttons to get a menu in %
