This is a Democratic attempt to use illegal aliens as citizens and protect them. Should they commit crimes how would information about them be captured. Illegal aliens have more rights under this bill than American citizens. This is a terrible injustice to citizens who are also expected to pay for non citizens. How many Americans have to die at the hands of illegals where nothing can be done or information found on them.
