I would appreciate some help in understanding the proposed immigration bill. But first: the media generally presents the sides as the (liberal) pro-immigrant coalition which wants congress to pass the bill and the (conservative) anti-immigrant coalition that is opposed to it. But it is my understanding that grass-roots immigration groups are also very much opposed to this bill and in fact any bill during this congress. Am I wrong about this? More importantly I would welcome a brief summary/analysis of the bills key proposals, including those that concern the creation of a guest worker program -- the requirements and limitations, etc. -- and those that purport to allow undocumented workers an opportunity to legalize.
Thanks, Marty
