I think a key concern of the anti-amnesty groups has been to emphasize that any “benchmarks” or “triggers” built into an enforcement bill will take several years to evaluate in practice.
If a path to citizenship is made available through legislation passed in 2009-2010, most people will feel (correctly) that we haven’t been given a chance to see if the enforcement side of the deal is really working. So McCain’s promise to pass a comprehensive bill during his first year in office is not encouraging, as Mark Krikorian has pointed out.
