re: #115 stockman
I think this can be subject to abuse ( as can everything else); I can see why representatives would baulk at this type of language. The definition of “hardship” can be made so flexible as cover almost any situation. I see this as a big flaw in a bill ostensibly designed to address perceived inequities for undocumented striving students/ Armed Forces volunteers.
I don’t think anybody failed to vote in favor of this because of the language you pointed out. I think they failed to vote for it because they fear the teabaggers screaming “Amnesty!!!11!” at them. Cowards.
