O not only did not enforce immigration law; he did exactly the opposite by issuing papers to illegals. I think this was part of a plan to provide an excuse for RINOs to vote for amnesty with the excuse, “We already have de facto amnesty.”
Well if so, why does Congress need to legalize them too? Maybe they are afraid that a GOP POTUS would reverse the policy, but I can’t imagine that happening short of a miracle candidate.
Of course they tried to use that in 2007 too, but GWB did not give out papers to all of them (although maybe he ws tempted).
I appreciate the comments. One of the things that I’m worried about, is that they have been silently transitioning illegals over the last nearly 25 years.
Note that the number of illegals jumped to nearly 10 million by 2000, but supposedly haven’t jumped anything near that in the subsequent 13 years.
By rights, there should be 25 or so million illegals here.
If there are only 11-12 million here now, then somehow they have been transitioning to something else, legal citizenship.
If this all passes, it will be interesting to see how many register to remain here.
