If you go back to GWB's formal request for a solution back in early 2004, he repeatedly asserts "no amnesty" and that the guest worker program should not serve as a path to citizenship or permanent residency. He also asked for three-year visas renewable for two cycles, then you go home.
So why do Senate RINOs make the big issue that of citizenship and permanent residency? No one wants it, and no one is asking for it.
If you discard that strawman of an issue, the Senate is left with a handful of simple ones: how to fix CIS/INS to handle the applications; how to beef up border enforcement; how to beef up domestic enforcement.
The citizenship issue is a bogeyman designed to prevent a vote on the simpler but more difficult issues.

You tell me ... I am outraged by this, and what is shocking to me is not that a few RINOs fell for it, but that 6 of 11 Republicans on the Judiciary committee lined up.
It's outrageous.
Yes, of course every Democrat wants it and want to go full throttle in selling out the country, creating another $40 billion in Federal welfare spending in 10 years, overturning rule of law, undermining the boarder, etc.
That's the Kennedy way.
But to see many RINO Republicans join them? Pathetic.
Bush btw makes it worse by not coming out swinging against amnesty.
