” told me to my face he is not for amnesty”
That’s a word game for the GOPe. They redefine “amnesty” to suit themselves. Dubya claimed he wasn’t for amnesty the whole time that he was trying to force it on us.
Some of them now call it “regularization”. It’s amnesty. They are just lying.
Yes, they also define it as “fixing our broken immigration system” and then proceed to lie to us that they will once again work to make sure the ‘border fence’ they authorized is built.
So they have a wall to sell us now, which is the same thing as a bridge in the parlance of modern political-speak.
