You forgot to tell the other half of the story behind the "Amnesty Bill" passed under Reagan. The feds were supposed to crack down on the "new crop" of illegal aliens after the bill became law. They didn't. The bill did not stem, slow or curb the illegal alien invasion as advertised.

As to "liking" any politician because they are repeating a mistake made by another...

"There is no education in the second kick of a mule."

Hatch has been one of "them" too long and needs to be replaced.

Instead of amnesty for individual illegals, maybe we should give the states that love the illegals to Mexico in a reverse Texas Republic manner. Southern California, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona seem to be likely candidates.

Then the rest of the country could do the work of controlling immigration with their militias and National Guard. We don't seem to have the will in Washington, D.C. to solve the problem. Those that want to impose amnesty on the nation could have their amnesty territory as they wished without subjecting the rest of us to the costs and decay associated with ignoring our laws.

Can I steal this for a tag line ?
