I understand your angst. I'm with you that I don't like amnesty under any circumstances. However, how do we get rid of MILLIONS of illegals?
Realistically, we won't deport millions; But, deporting the illegal prison population is feasible and is a good start. Damage control would be to seal the borders first and discuss amnesty second. Furthermore, any program that encourages more overflow in the name of guest worker programs is a sham, and any politician espousing it - including the president - is knowingly betraying the people. Politicians are not fools; they know the consequences of a Senate amnesty plan and should be held accountable.
Bush would have sparked the conservative base with a pardon - oh well, at least Hunter's speaking out.
