Immigration Plan - Good or Bad

There is a current bipartisan immigration plan that may just work.  In an editorial posted by USA Today Editorial Board speaks in favor of the plan. 

One of the highlights of the editorial is that the 11 million illegal people here would have to go to the back of the line of legal prospective immigrants.  There wouldn't be a speedy process for them just because they're here.  Letting them go through the citizenship process would bring them into mainstream society and force them to pay taxes for the benefits they receive by being in our country. 
The Editorial Board makes a good point in saying the Democrats view of hurrying the process up is to bolster voting.  The editorial also makes a point of stating President Obama (Democrat) won 70% of the Latino vote in the last election.

The editorial was thorough on the parts they covered and didn't try to hide information.  I think The Editorial Board did a good job of presenting their information in a non-biased way.  They spoke of Republican, Democrat and Liberal viewpoints.  They did not pick apart any group; they stuck to the facts.  They also brought up some questions the plan doesn't answer.  Those questions are "How exactly would back taxes be assessed and collected? And at what point would people be allowed to participate in government benefit programs such as food stamps or Medicare?"

The editorial also provided links for people reading it to get more information.  Those links are:

They also include a link for the opposing view, which doesn't really seem to disagree with The Editorial Board or the plan except for the length of time it takes to become a citizen.  And it brings up some valid points about the backlog of the system and that we shouldn't create a system where people can't become citizens.

I noticed the editorial did not specifically address the 4 points of the immigration plan.  Instead they talked about the politics of the plan and the fact that people from different parties may have finally come to an agreement.  Of course, without all the details of the plan being in place that could fall apart.

It comes across as easy to read which means their audience could be anyone, i.e. don't have to have an advance degree to understand what the plan is.  The USA Today is a respected national paper and therefore I think their editorials are creditable.

At it's face value, I agree with the first go at the bipartisan immigration plan.  However, the nuts and bolts have not been determined yet.  Like how are the borders going to be secured, are they going to reduce the time it takes to obtain permanent residence?  I would need more information about the plan before I could definitively say I agree with it or not.  I most definitely believe our borders need to be secure and if people want to come here go through the channels.  I agree the channels take to long so I hope to see a quicker time for obtaining residency be established.  The only people we are hurting with our laws is us.
