“Well, that amnesty didn’t work in the past, even under our beloved Ronald Reagan, providing amnesty for about 2 million illegal immigrants. That didn’t stop the problem, in fact I think it helped perpetuate the problem. And now we’re up to 11, 13, 16 million people who are here illegally. Let’s learn from history’s lessons and realize that amnesty doesn’t work. And we go from there. I think that talk about amnesty, talk about what needs to happen with those who are here illegally, it’s almost used as a diversion so we don’t have to talk about what are the tools that are needed to secure the border. We take care of the porous borders first, and then we can deal with the other issues...”
There in lies the problem.
We should demand a straight yes or no answer when it comes to amnesty. What is so difficult about that?
