>>>And neither one of them are as bad as Reagan was on the amnesty issue.

Get your facts straight.

The McCain-Kennedy bill would give illegals an easy road to citizenship. Bush talks about backdoor amnesty under the guise of a guest worker program. I see no real difference between what Bush and McCain want, and IRCA of 1986 that Reagan signed into law. Except that the IRCA of 1986 was suppose to be a one time amnesty deal for roughly 2-3 million illegals, with serious sanctions for employers who violated the law hiring illegals. Today we have 10-15 million illegals. McCain and Bush both agree illegals deserve special treatment.

Btw, Bush gave his thumbs up to McCain's torture bill.

Not really...on the torture bill he signed a letter afterwards saying "NO way, we are gonna do what is necessary to interrogate"....

That really isn't the name of the letter...but he DID sign one..and the dems and McCain got VERY upset about it...but too bad.

I don't care what nits you want to pick about the amnesty bills..(btw, as a Texan, I would go down and start building a fence tomorrow, myself)...

But, Reagan DID give amnesty to illegals...you have to admit that.
