Immigration Reform Bill of 2007

[Јas]

Having no real clue what the reasoning or effects of this bill would be, I hope that Ernest will provide something of a tutorial on this, to aid my understanding.

I motion to strike Section 15 from the bill.

Can you explain what section 15 proposes and why you want it removed?

Well, by my reading, Section 15 will loosen the strong protection given by the American constitution and presumably carried into Atlasian law of anyone being born here being given citizenship regardless of the status of their parents.  It's difficult to tell what exactly most sections in this bill will do, but I think, if I'm interpreting this correctly, that the bill will deny automatic citizenship to children born to illegal aliens.  Although, I oppose removing the guarantee of automatic citizenship to anyone born here regardless of its effect on illegal immigrants.

Thanks.

Aye

I know it's hard to comprenhend this bill, but is it possible that this bill and the Anti-CARLHAYDEN bill could have some direct contradictions?

Do elucidate... what contradictions exist between the bills?

[Јas]

Senator Ernest has yet to give a summary of the propositions in this bill or give any statement to the Senate concerning the effects that this bill would have, fully, upon Atlasian immigration policy.

[Јas]

Given that Senator Ernest has obviously put significant consideration into this bill, that the bill is on an issue of importance and that the absence of Ernest is quite unusual, I would ask that voting be postponed for as long as is allowed under Senate rules to allow Ernest the opportunity to return and explain the text. I appreciate that the bill can be reintroduced, but this would lead to a very considerable delay on a bill which has clearly taken some effort on Ernest's part.

We are now voting on final passage of this bill.

The bill is as stated on page 1, excepot such that sections 7, 11 and 15 were removed and the second section2 was renumber as the new section 15.

[Јas]

As this would basically do away with the "Anti-CarlHayden Bill".

In what respects?

[Јas]

Nay
