But another Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, said, "I think it's inappropriate to think of people who came to this country to work illegally as criminals."

Scottish law?

Scottish law?

Must be. For a former state attorney general and U.S. Senator, Spectre demonstrates a near-hallucinogenic ignorance of United States law. The U.S. Code makes it eminently clear that illegal aliens are officially and indisputably criminals by any sane definition of ther term.

United States Code
TITLE 8 - ALIENS AND NATIONALITY
CHAPTER 12 - IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY
SUBCHAPTER II - IMMIGRATION
Part VIII - General Penalty Provisions

"Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both."

BUSH'S POSITION NOT KNOWN</font color=red>

Bush's view of the phased program is uncertain given his opposition to a blanket amnesty for undocumented immigrants. He says an amnesty would give lawbreakers an unfair break.

Does Bush have any idea what-so-ever as to what he is doing? Why did he start all this mess in the first place if he is so concerned now about giving "lawbreakers an unfair break"?

Talk about a dim bulb.....
