Why isn't anyone talking about the rolling 10 year statute of limitations in the Senate Bill?

That is appalling.  I hadn't heard of that.  You're right - it is just an invitation to illegal immigrants to come in and all they have to do is stay low for 10 years and they have it made!  Nothing like encouraging illegal immigration - come on in!

Every state has their own, so research "Statute of Limitations."  You might be able to find out information on the web.  Good luck.

The Judiciary Committee is going to vote on the latest bill in the senate.\n\nCall them and tell them,\n\n"NO AMNESTY"\n\nhttp://judiciary.senate.gov/press.cfm

yes it is under Article 43 of the UCMJ (uniform code of military justice) unless it is desertion during war time then there is no statue of limitation. You cannot be punished with an Article 15 more than 2 yrs post the event and you cannot be Court-Martialed more than 5 yrs unless you are charged with death.

It already passed the House in December. There is no way to know when the Senate will vote on it. It is currently in the Judiciary committee, and it could take months to get through there or never be moved on to the whole house.

The above answer is wrong.  Credit reporting agencies keep records of defaults for 7 years.

With all due respect, your stated desire doesn’t make any sense.  The ten articles of the United States Bill of Rights are written in clear language with most economical use of the language.  There are only 462 words of content in all ten amendments.\n\nIt would be interesting to know what is your intended use.  In my seminars I find that rather than summarize them I have to expand from both a origin perspective as well as from a case law perspective.  To do less is to cloud them in misunderstandings.     \n\nIf this is a class project, have your instructor contact me and I'll explain why this is not possible, something the instructor should already know.

No, it didn't even make it for a vote in the Senate. The House is supposedly going to try and pass it eventually, but without even a majoirty in the Senate there's no way it will ever pass. Even if it did, 3/4 of the states don't want it to pass.

Any Senator is entitled to speak on any bill before the Senate, But if they speak, and speak and speak for days, and then some other senator gets on his hind legs and does the same thing,followed by another and another, they can keep it going until the senate rises and the session is over without resolving the bill!..After that, its usually refered off to some commitee and never heard of again!..In Australia, this cannot be done anymore, because the Govt can move a vote on it!..They seldom do this though, for fear of govt members crossing the floor!

It's a matter of consistency.  The Senate is designed in such a way as to limit the disruption caused by elections.  Which is why only 1/3 of the Senate comes up for election every two years.

When the Senate figures out how to get around the Constitutionality problem their bill has right now, or when one of the alternatives being introduced come up for a vote.\n\nYou could write or email your Congressmen to find out, and let them know of your interest.

Dear Friend,\n\nThe statute of limitations only starts to run once you know or should have known that there was a problem.  Let's say you had an operation in 2000, but only found out in 2004 that they'd botched the job.  Then your statute of limitations would start running from 2004, not 2000.\n\nHope that helps!\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

There is no Statute of Limitations on fraud, or murder. They are the only two laws that don't have a statute of limitations.

If you mean would the Senate Bill increase fraud, yes, absolutely.  People would be determined to have been here long enough to stay based on an affidavit of anyone not a relative as I understand it.  These are people who have been using fake social security numbers and fake driver's licenses en masse.\n\nThe Senate Bill would also add a 10 year 'statute of limitations' on border crossing as if the only damage done was when the border was crossed rather than as services were stolen.  Anyone who could forge paperwork indicating they were here for 10 years on a going forward basis would be able to essentially get amnesty.  That is an engraved invitation for people to come illegally.\n\nThe Senate Bill is really bad in so many ways.  I think it should be scrapped and we should start over (but not with Pence's program in my opinion).  The House is going to have hearings on it, I understand, which will at least let the public know all of the strange provisions stuck into it at the last moment.\n\nThis is a joke.
