NIT PICKING?!?! FACTS are now referred to as picking nits? It is more closely related to SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
my points were...
Unrecognizable in your original post which said:
Shrub was hot to grant ‘em amnesty and unless memory fails me Reagan granted an amnesty in ‘79 much to the detriment of those of us who belong here. I don’t recall Slick Willie pushing for amnesty like Bush.
"Slick Willie" had no need to "push" for amnesty, he and his complicit CONgre$$ simply and quietly granted it in smaller doses, 6 times, more than doubling the amnesty of 1986.
For over 200 years, the United states only granted amnesty in individual cases and had never given amnesty to large numbers of illegal aliens.
The amnesty of 1986 was supposed to be a "one time only" amnesty. Yet since 1986, Congress passed a total of 7 amnesties for illegal aliens:
1. The Immigration and Reform Control Act (IRCA) Amnesty of 1986 - the "one-time only" blanket amnesty for some 2.8 million illegal aliens.
2. Section 245(i) The Amnesty of 1994 - a temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens.
3. Section 245(i) The Extension Amnesty of 1997 - an extension of the rolling amnesty created in 1994.
4. The Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) Amnesty of 1997 - an amnesty for nearly one million illegal aliens from Central America.
5. The Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act Amnesty (HRIFA) of 1998 - an amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti.
6. The Late Amnesty of 2000 - an amnesty for approximately 400,000 illegal aliens who claimed they should have been amnestied under the 1986 IRCA amnesty.
7. The LIFE Act Amnesty of 2000 - a reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty to an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens.
whatever, but thanks for documenting my point that the current administration has a very low bar to clear to be tougher on illegal immigration than previous administrations.
