There is going to be mass fraud ...
balu_g,
If the immigration bill passes in its current form, there is no doubt that the already broken system will pretty much collapse in the next 5-10 years. In the short-term it will help relieve retro because of the addition of visa numbers but in the long term it will become much worse than it is right now. Sorry if I sound selfish here but at this point in time I am more concerned about the short-term. The hope is that in the future there will be more bills to tackle the monster that will be created this year just as this bill will help tackle the 245i monster.
Although I realize the "potential" harm this bill may do to future immigration, at this piont in time I am all for a bill that will help reduce the current retro problem. There will be some more bills in the future to rectify the errors of this one. Thats just how this stupid process works.

Regarding this:-
I was discussing this with someone. If someone is illegal how can the govt track how many years they were in US. IMO all illegals are capable of saying they were here for 5+ years and start GC. Oh man!
