One of the many preposterous assumptions of the Senate’s Judiciary Committees illegal alien amnesty bill is that the Department of Homeland Security is somehow capable of performing meaningful background checks on millions of people. I don’t believe it, nor does Mark Steyn:

We’re now expected to believe that this system will be able to stop hassling 68-year-old cello players long enough to process an extra 10 million-plus immigration applications, and that furthermore an agency that keeps no reliable records of legal entry into the United States will somehow be able to determine on the basis of utility bills whether this or that undocumented alien falls into amnesty-eligibility category.

Sure, believe that if you want to. It’ll be good practice for swallowing the amnesty for the next 40 million circa 2025.
