The "Amnesty Bill" concerning illegal immigration is legislation that is being called a "piece of s&$*" by Rep. John Boehner.  This bill would probably not pass on its own merits so we better be watchful and make sure it's not attached as an ammendment to another piece of legislation we want passed.  Mr. Boehner's assessment of the "Amnesty Bill" is correct, although I would use the word "crap" so I wouldn't be censored.  Following are the major points of this bill, which is being panned as "lousy" even by the liberal media.  

Illegal immigrants would be given legal status 24 hours after applying even if background check is not complete - and no one could do a thorough background check in 24 hours.  

 Taxpayers will pay for immigrants attorneys if they need one.  

Illegal immigrants get "temporary" visas that can be renewed indefinitely, making them essentially permanent visas.   Amnesty for gang members.  There are an estimated 30,000 immigrant gang members.  All they have to do is say "I don't want to be a gang member anymore" and their crimes are forgiven.  

Taxpayer dollars will be sent to Mexico for programs to encourage Mexicans to stay in Mexico.  That includes money for a Mexican healthplan for Mexicans and money to build schools.  

Illegal aliens will not have to pay any back taxes, no matter how long they've been here illegally.  And illegals will be elligible for earned income tax credit despite the fact that they are not paying any income taxes.  

 A new "North American Union" provision would effectively eliminate borders between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.  This is called the "Security and Prosperity Partnership" in the bill and would mean the U.S. would have open borders.  The bill says nothing about Border Security.  

This bill provides college tuition for all illegal aliens, but American citizens are denied that little bonus.  

Illegal aliens move to the front of the line for legal status, ahead of everyone who has waited for years to get into this country.   

The bill would provide amnesty to all illegal aliens who had been ordered to be deported.  It doesn't matter what they did to be ordered deported; murder, robbery, rape; they would get amnesty.  

Immigration courts would be shut down as far as illegal aliens in this country are concerned.  

Learning English not required until the 9th year of amnesty.  People who immigrated to the U.S. in the 19th and early 20th centuries WANTED to learn English and learned it as quickly as possible.

Watch Congress.  Write to your congress persons.  Don't let this bill slide through as an ammendment to a desired bill.
