Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
I must also say that I get irked when the word "illegal" is conveniently left out of all the comments from the protesters who claim " we are all immigrants!". Some of those who are most opposed to amnesty feel that way because they went through a hell of a lot to get here legally, worked hard to learn english and assimilate, and don't understand why someone who circumvented that entire process and broke the law to be here deserves the same rights. I have to agree with them.
