The Worst Idea for Immigration Reform I've Heard Yet

Senators in Washington have finally come to an agreement on immigration reform. This is the basic idea:

The plan would allow illegal immigrants to come forward and obtain a "Z visa" and — after paying fees and a $5,000 fine — ultimately get on track for permanent residency, which could take between eight and 13 years. Heads of household would have to return to their home countries first. Source

Are you kidding me? You actually expect this to work? Let's break this apart.

Illegal immigrants that come forward have to first pay more than $5000 in fines. According to Texans for Immigrations Reform, the average illegal immigrant make $12,000 a year. So, they have to some how come up with half their annual salary... Oh, but it doesn't end there. Then, they have to quit their job and go home; go home... THEY HAVE TO GO HOME?!?! Didn't they come here because they didn't want to live in Mexico? And once they get home, they wait on the incredibly inefficient United States government to file paper work to get the immigrant legal status. Are you understanding now?

Many on the Right are calling this an amneisty program. Yeah, right. This is a joke. They will never come forward, and at that point, we are back at square one. This is almost laughable how pathetic this plan is... but than again, it was spear-headed by Edward Kennedy.

  The age-old pesky U.S.-Mexico border problem has taxed the resources of both countries, led to long lists of injustices, and appears to be heading only for worse troubles in the future. Guess what? The border problem can never be solved. Why? Because the border IS the problem! It's time for a paradigm change.
  
  Never fear, a satisfying, comprehensive solution is within reach: the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Simply dissolve the border along with the failed Mexican government, and megamerge the two countries under U.S. law, with mass free 2-way migration eventually equalizing the development and opportunities permanently, with justice and without racism, and without threatening U.S. sovereignty or basic principles.
