Illegal Immigrants Critical of Senate Deal

LOS ANGELES - David Guerra wants to be legal, but he says the path to citizenship offered by the Senate on Thursday would be too risky and too expensive, and could end up driving him deeper into the shadows.
Guerra's wife and children in El Salvador depend on the $300 he sends home each month from his job as a day laborer. Key provisions of the legislation would require him to return home to apply for residency, pay a $5,000 fine and spend thousands more in application fees.
That would be disastrous for his family, he said, and, worse, he's not sure he can trust U.S. immigration authorities who have been rounding up and deporting his fellow immigrants for months.
"If I go home, who is going to guarantee that I'll be let back in?" said the 44-year-old who lays bricks, clears weeds and does landscaping.
Hey Fuck You Ese.
You're here illegally and you're being offered the deal of the fucking century to stay and it's still not good enough for you?
And since you're not a citizen, we don't give half a shit what you think of our laws. Our laws didn't seem to concern you when you rode your banana boat over here, they shouldn't concern you now.
