It's simply ridiculous for anyone to think "giving some sort of legalization status" would keep 8-12 million Illegaliens from mushrooming to 80-144 million in three years if "not an amnesty" is granted.

Key word here is "think".....hard to do if one suffers from rectal/cranial inversion.

I think we both know that it *is* an "amnesty" since it is renewable and since the Bush Admin frontman on this, Tom Ridge, admits you can't just round up the illegals *now* because it's too large of a logistics issue that when their work permits *do* expire, no one's going to attempt the round up just as they won't know. It's "amnesty" in "fairness" and "compassionate" clothing. It didn't work in the 1980's, it won't work now.
