But Hastert puts his foot down when asked if undocumented immigrants already in the country should be given amnesty, rather than proceed through the existing citizenship process.

"If you put amnesty in there, you short-circuit the system," he said. "You can't change the rules and amnesty changes the rules."

That's the Dennis Hastert I'm used to hearing... I hope he sticks by that and doesn't give in to pressure.

I don't see why you're giving Hastert any kudos. He's claiming that "amnesty changes the rules" and "short-circuits the system" yet it doesn't seem to bother him one dang bit that allowing illegal aliens to remain here (with or without some "blue card") also changes the rules and short circuits the system. It sounds to me like he's just spewing more B.S.
