I've been through this fight too many times as well.
My two cents - I thought the compromise bill, while far from perfect, was the right way to go to address the problems of border security and illegal immigration.
It provided stricter border enforcement (focus on hi tech not chain fences) than currently in place and with the funds to support it), stricter penalities for employers acting ILLEGALLY in hiring undocumented workers, a gues worker program for jobs not otherwise likely to be filled, and a comprehensive penalities and requirements towards citizenship (fines, back taxes, proof of employment, etc IS NOT AMNESTY) for those undocumented workers who commited a misdomeanor by entering the country illegally or overstaying their visa.
The mulit-level approach in the bill is a step in the right direction and in the best interest of our national security, our economy, and the country as a whole.
