Staying on an expired Visa is grounds from deportation. If you are late in reapply, you are an illegal alien.

If I'm not mistaken, under the proposed law,
failing to turn in this paperwork on time would be a felony if you hadn't already left the country.
I got really sidetracked looking for details on the exact legislation that was proposed. I'm wagering most folks can't tell you exactly what it was apart from "making illegal immigrants and anyone who helped them felons" which I doubt is the exact wording of the bill... So anyway, I just read that today Sen. McCain told some AFL-CIO members that Americans won't pick lettuce in Arizona for $50 an hour... I think he meant $15 or is being misquoted though. Mostly cuz I don't think people would buy lettuce at the price it would cost to be able to pay the workers $50/hour.
