And what about this "departure" concept? Will they support a plan that is amounts to asking millions of people to leave their jobs and their communities to step out and step back in, putting them at the end of a decades-long wait list, and telling them they cannot sponsor their family members? The leave-first requirement is a wrong-headed, political cover scheme for "legalization" that its crafters naively hope will differentiate it from the 1986 "amnesty" program. This is not a bold solution, it is cheap theatrics. See Houston Chronicle. What are the Democrats planning? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Friday that a Senate vote scheduled for Tuesday would be postponed until Wednesday.
