Actually that's what Reagan did, Reagan Man. Bush's plan is NOT amnesty, no matter how many times you repeat it. But that's an argument for a different thread.
No s**t sherlock. LOL
This initiative by PresBush is basically a repeat of the same bad policy decision made by PresReagan in 1986. It was called amnesty in 1986 and its still amnesty today. That legislation was suppose to solve the illegal immigration problem. It didn't. What PresBush proposed yesterday, won't solve the illegal immigration problem either. Bottom line. Without stricter border enforcement efforts, the problem of illegal immigration will only be perpetuated. We've got to shut the door closed, before we can effectively clean up the immigration mess with coherent legislation that has real teeth. There should be no reward offered for breaking the law. Illegals should be prosecuted, then deported or imprisoned.
