Under GW Bush, one amnesty attempt was started, but got derailed by the 9-11-01 attacks. It was restarted in 2002, but was stopped on a procedural technicality in the Senate by Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WVA). Of course, the efforts were renewed several more times during the Bush years.

Simply not true. Bush pushed for amnesty hard in 2006 an d 2007. In the Rep controlled Senate oin 2006, an amnesty bill, Hagel-Martinez was passed with 32 Reps voting against it, but 23 voted for it. The only reason it was stopped was the House opposition led by Sensenbrenner. Technically, it was never taken up in the House because the Senate bill contained appropriation legislation that had to start in the House.

In 2007 we had McCain-Kennedy that was pushed heavily by the WH. They tried to get it passed by bypassing regular order. We are seeing something similar this time.

Just like so many issues championed by the left, they never give up until they achieve their objective. They want amnesty and will do whatever is necessary to get it. The left has been successful on implementing the gay agenda and are well on the way to getting their gun control agenda passed. It will be piece by piece until they destroy the country.

Simply not true.

I am missing something. What in my statement was untrue?

Byrd stopped the amnesty bill in 2002. Bush and his cohorts tried several more times later. Bush even said the morning after the 2006 turn over of leadership in the House and Senate (to the Dems) that he 'now had a Congress he would work with' on comprehensive immigration. An additional attempt also failed. IIRC, there were a total of 4 attempts while GW was president.
