The linked article discusses Senator Marco Rubio's view of the proposed immigration legislation he is helping draft. I understand his claim that the proposed bill is not designed to be an amnesty and that it wants the wait times for adjustment to be long, but wonder, can the immigration process be any more difficult or time consuming than it already is? Wait times for family visas in some instances is twenty years and these are for applicants who are not currenlty in th eUnited States. In addition, isn't the very nature of what Rubio and his team are drafting a form of Amnesty? In most instances, it seems that people who are here illegally do not want to leave. Permitting them to pay fines and remain in the United States while they adjust status is, in my opinion, a form of Amnesty. Nevertheless, if the outcome of these negotitaions means that the problem of eleven million people currently not in lawful status is addressed in a manner that addresses the effects of this untenable situation, Senator Rubio can call it what he likes. It iwill be an improvement.
