"The Bush administration's proposal to offer amnesty to illegal immigrant workers has prompted..."

Wow, first sentence and they already worked in the word "amnesty" depiste everything the President actually said.

Well on another thread I was accused of trying to stiffle debate by a supporter of this proposal, I wonder what they would call this from the administration?

We have no constitution, it's been rendered null and void.

Have you heard anything about this?

Meanwhile, U.S. border patrol agents have been told to ask a series of questions when they capture illegal immigrants...

...border agents are "not to talk about amnesty, an increase in apprehensions, or give comparisons of past immigration reform proposals" when talking with the media.

The memo, prepared by a public affairs officer at Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C., also gives these instructions: "Do not speculate about the program. Do not provide statistics on apprehension spikes or past amnesty data."

John Frecker, a border patrol union official and retired agent living in Maine, said the note is being used to intimidate agents into not raising concerns about problems they could face in dealing with an influx of illegal immigrants.

Last week, several border patrol stations on the country's southern border received a survey, listing questions that should be asked of anyone caught entering the country illegally. The survey is being used only in parts of Texas and Louisiana for now.

The answers are sent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington.

The Bush survey contains 13 questions. Among them:

These questions sound more like a campaign polls for the Bush/Fox amnesty plan.

Shouldn't they be asking these questions instead?

What Is Considered An Illegal Activity Under Immigration Law?

Here are some examples of the most common violations of United States Immigration laws:

Examples:

(This is not a complete list of violations.)

U.S. border patrol agents have been told to ask a series of questions when they capture illegal immigrants, including whether the immigrants have heard of President George W. Bush's proposal.

According to a list of talking points distributed nationwide, border agents are "not to talk about amnesty, an increase in apprehensions, or give comparisons of past immigration reform proposals" when talking with the media.

The memo, prepared by a public affairs officer at Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C., also gives these instructions: "Do not speculate about the program. Do not provide statistics on apprehension spikes or past amnesty data."

An agency spokesman said the note was meant to prevent confusion about how to handle questions on the president's proposal. He said statistical information on apprehension numbers will still be available, but only through headquarters.

Have you guys seen or heard of this memo?

If so, are these quotes accurate?

If you come across this memo, can you post it here?

I think we all need to stop paying taxes and then when they come after us, demand Amnesty.

After all, it's our money paying their Salaries.

The survey contains 13 questions. Among them:
"Did rumors of amnesty influence your decision to enter the U.S.A.?"
"Have you been to the U.S.A. prior to this incident, legally or illegally?"
"Do you plan to apply for amnesty if it is offered?" The answers are sent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington

What's up with this? Sounds like a Frank Luntz focus group.

At least the administration honestly calls their amnesty an amnesty when talking to illegals, again showing more respect to the invaders than to they do to American voters.

This is an outrage and a stab in America's back (but not surprising). Again our tax dollars will be spent to accommodate Mexico. Ways to protest:

I don't get it. Bush will not win an election if he thinks we are for illegal anything coming into this country.
