I can't beleive you perpetuate the lie that this is an "amnesty" plan. Well people also have bought the Brooklyn Bridge, so I am not surprised.
Here is a thread that is more balanced and actually has some good debate.
Must read, Dems candidates comments on President Bush's immigration intiative
Rewarding people who came over here illegally, ie:breaking the laws of the United States of America is amnesty. We obviously can't catch them to pardon them. /sarcasm.
I read through the main story on the link you posted, and for once the Dems have a point. This is only going to help big business secure cheap labor without being fined. Paging Walmart. This means reduced wages and job opportunities for citizens.
President Bush himself said that this legislation would take the heat off hotel maids, meat cutters, and landscapers. These are the jobs that Americans won't do? I beg your pardon, but I know citizens who would jump at those jobs.
Imo, President Bush is breaking the laws he swore to uphold. Ooops, the Constitution is a living document, and can be interpreted any ol' which way.
