Maybe we CAN get a common sense solution

While, as LEGAL immigrant, I do not believe in an amnesty for illegal immigrants, I am also realistic that we have to resolve this situation. While not perfect, the gang of 8 solution has many good aspects, e.g. ensuring the border is closed BEFORE granting the new special status, ensuring that those on special status are NOT eligible for any government handouts, enough delay before awarding a green card to bring them on a par with those following the proper procedure.
I think there is just one last condition missing, some kind of cut-off date, i.e. if you arrived after this date you are NOT eligible for the special status, ideally something like one year before the bill is made law.
