Reagan got amnesty through a largey Democrat-controlled Congress; Bush stands a 50-50 chance of getting his half-baked immigration abomination through a Republican-controlled Congress. But what makes you think a Democrat president will get an amnesty program through a Republican-controlled Congress?
They will not, that is a given. President Bush will not sign an amnesty program, he could not have been more clear in the SOTU. I wish you would quit calling President Bush's proposals "amnesty." They are proposals, just that, and Tom DeLay will never let them see the light of day. Make of this what you want.
Thirteen thousand R voters of South Dakota, thought they were better off voting for Johnson against Thune, because they thought it better to have a majority in the Senate. Just like you, their thinking was flawed.
