"Bill offers temporary legal status to undocumented immigrants..."

Drudge has a habit of linking to misleadingly or falsely titled - or just plain false - articles about immigration matters, the latest example being "Bill offers temporary legal status to undocumented immigrants" from Dave Montgomery of McClatchy Newspapers. That's the McClatchy-supplied title.

By "temporary", most people might think six months, maybe a year tops. Try again:
Bipartisan legislation to be unveiled Thursday in the House of Representatives would offer temporary legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants but would require them to leave the country before they could be eligible for permanent residency and U.S. citizenship.

...[ two paragraphs deleted ]...

...The Gutierrez-Flake proposal includes many of the ingredients of the failed Senate bill. It would create a guest-worker program that would enable foreign workers to stay in the country for up to six years to hold jobs that U.S. workers have bypassed.
If you think six years is in any way "temporary" - especially considering that many of those "guests" would have U.S. citizen children during that time, making it nearly impossible to deport them - please stand in line for the wallet inspector.
