Actually not.. I've pointed out out many times before but 2 major laws enacted by Clinton make it very hard to deport illegals, and another pretty much ties hands of enforcing employer sanctions against hiring illegals. They are posted a couple of times in this thread..


Baloney, the GOP has the house, senate and president if they wanted to change something they could. Instead we have had a President waving his hands at the illegals telling them to come do the work americans won't do beecause he was going to give them amnesty. BS.

First, I am not necessarily in favor of the program, but the guest worker program is designed for folks to come across from Mexico legally. How could he offer amnesty to folks who are already in the country LEGALLY?

Second, we may have control of the WH and the House, but we are definitely not in control of the Senate. In order to vote on any proposal in the Senate one has to invoke cloture. That requires 60 votes. Lacking 60 votes, Republicans have to work to some extent with the Dems.

Third, do you seriously believe that the POTUS wants to encourage illegal immigration? It may be fine to criticize the POTUS but at least do so with some degree of credulity.
