Strike me with a lightning bolt if such a bill gets passed! And honestly, as an immigrant as much as I would love this bill, it's very unfair to the American citizens.
This bill is giving all those illegal immigrants a free pass to the American Dream. When the economy is trash like now, why would U.S. want more competition in the job market? And another reason this bill is trash is because I would think legal immigrants who have been here for 5 years should be given a priority rather than those who break the law and enter the country or overstay their visit.
Just because you have lived in U.S for 5 years (and most likely working illegal jobs) should not qualify you to get a permanent residence.
