BUSH: I don't believe we ought to have amnesty. I don't think we ought to reward illegal behavior. There are plenty of people standing in line to become a citizen. And we ought not to crowd these people ahead of them in line. If they want to become a citizen, they can stand in line, too. Kerry supported amnesty for illegal aliens.

Yes, President Bush, there are 4 to 5 million in line waiting to immigrate legally into the country. They have waits of 6 to 25 years, with only one million visas available, and many of those are business visas. Now you are attempting to shove 12 million in front of them by allowing them to wait and work in the country while those trying to come here legally wait overseas. Please let's not have any of this lying that allowing illegal aliens to stay here is not an amnesty. It is an amnesty in every sense of the word.
