Without her return-home amendment, Hutchison said, "the amnesty tag that has been put on this bill will remain. It is the key issue in the bill for the American people."

Is she kidding? THE key issue? I think it is granting legal status to millions of people immediately, not some return-home deal.

In case you haven't gotten the message yet, I'm going to repeat it for you:

Shut up and donate to the re-election campaign.

The United States Senate isn't interested in what you think.

Why do so many people pretend they don’t understand why this bill is amnesty ?

The illegals here are in violation of existing laws. The existing laws REQUIRE deportation as a minimum penalty.

Any new law that attempts to retroactively change or remove the penalty for the law already violated is AMNESTY.

Any criminal should be held accountable to the letter of the laws as they existed at the time they violated those laws, they don’t get to pick and choose a time when their crime had/has/might-have a more lenient penalty.

It seems simple, but people like Bush and even O’Reilly pretend that as long as there is any penalty at all, even a token fine involved, that somehow it isn’t amnesty. Even though the penalties in place at the time the crime was committed are ignored.

It is the key issue in the bill for KBH and the other traitorous Republicans. The American people see the amendment for the fraud that it is.
It is a feel good, justification amendment so that SOME Republicans could cya.
They all make me sick.
