Priority for legal aliens
First time I have seen someone acknowledging that "legal aliens" should be given priority over amnesty for illegal immigrants..It might be a good idea to write to House Speaker Mr. J. Dennis Hastert the same message that was sent regarding the H-5 bill.
Looks like this Fall, there is going to be a flurry of activity w.r.to. immigration bills in congress/senate/white house.

Mr. Hastert also said, though, that "there are a lot of terms for how people get citizenship, but frankly what I have found, any time that you do an amnesty you just put people in the front of the line and cut out people who have come through the process legally."
In listing the schedule, Mr. Hastert put immigration right below finishing the appropriations bills, and he sounded more optimistic about it than he did about getting a Social Security bill.
"We are going to work on immigration. It's going to take awhile," he said. "It's going to take a lot of hearings and a lot of discussion hopefully on a bipartisan basis to try to get that done."
President Bush on Wednesday, in a closed-door meeting with House Republicans, called for action this year, but Mr. DeLay's office said it was impossible to set an exact timetable.
