That statement is completely unsupported and I do not believe it. It makes no sense.
This issue is to be used to attack the GOP and the President by those who will do NOTHING about it except whip up gullible "conservatives". It has no other function.
I find it so interesting that Bush is being accused of bringing "amnesty" with this guest worker program, but the beloved Reagan is the one who brought us the real amnesty. And look where we are as a result. Something must be done and it has to make sense rather than all the empty threats and rhetoric.
