[Reagan Man]

President Reagan made a serious mistake by granting amnesty to illegal aliens back in 1986. Given an opportunity to correct such a decision, I highly doubt, Reagan would do it again.

PresBush has the passing of time working to his advantage. He shouldn't be considering amnesty to illegal aliens under any circumstances and especially not after the events of 9-11.

Amnesty isn't a smart option for PresBush.

When you take Bush`s signing of the CFR bill into law, his increasing education spending like never before, okay`ing the largest farm subsidy bill ever and then last week, approving the largest government entitlement program in 38 years, adding amnesty to that list of wrongheaded centrist policy, won't gain him any support among his conservative base. It may gain him some moderate support and will defintiely lose him some conservative votes in 2004.

I agree. Nothing I have posted should be misinterpreted as my agreeing with an amnesty policy.

ACtually, most voters OPPOSE amnesty.
The issue is that the RNC does not want to alienate Hispanics as they become a greater voting block.
Instead of shutting the boarders and expelling the illegals, the GOP is selling out the country, and pandering to the left. (Go read Alien Nation)
Eevn beltway Neocon Bill Kristol has admitted that Hispanic immigration is forcing the country to the left.
Unless we can close the borders and Americanize immigrants, we are lost as a country.
