The hotel and restaurant industries had been pushing hard for the bill, arguing they would be short staffed if thousands of their Mexican employees were forced to return home to apply for visas.

In the words of the industry-- "We'll keep a light on for you."

No BLANKET AMNESTY. Don't subsidize the people who brought you illegal immigration.

"No BLANKET AMNESTY."

Well,it's nice to know that at least YOU understand this bill, and can see that this isn't a blanket amnesty like the rest claim that it is.

My local paper publishes how my federal office holders vote. How could a public vote be considered a secret.

"It's not amnesty...."

Will any of these illegal immigrants be deported? No. It's amnesty by another name.

The left well understands the game of semantics (which is all that Political Correctness is); Bush takes his queues from the neo-cons and their ilk, many of whom are former Troskeyites. They well know the art of snowing the sheeple through the art of changing names.

The sheeple don't like "amnesty"? Call it a guest worker program, or an application for temporary vistor's visa (it will be permanent in fact, not temporary, and therefore a de facto amnesty, but the sheeple are too stupid to realize that and connect the dots).

It's the same old game. Don't like property seizure and government funded housing? Call it "urban renewal". Don't like confiscatory taxation? Call it a "progressive income tax". Don't like being bullied by leftist goons? Call it "political correctness". When people wise up to that, call it "hate speech" and "hate crime" laws; designed to enforce "tolerance" and "diversity". Don't like abortion? Call it "choice". Don't like illegal aliens? Call them "undocumented workers". Don't like racial quotas? Call it hiring or admittance "goals" or "objectives".

Bottom line: if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck. Bush's pet project here is really "amnesty" whatever name that Bush and his flacks here and in Washington choose to call it. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet..." (or in this case, foul).

Great Post VBWC. You expose the Spin Game in the Beltway extraordinarily well. The sad thing, as you point out, is that the Bush Administration, like the last one, is highly skilled in this game of obsfucation and diversion.

Is that a fact?

--figures. You can see the actual laws being ignored, listed for you,yet you won't even concede on a single point when it's staring you in the face.

p-f-f-f-f-t

I like discussion and debate, but some folks got only their own viewpoint and everything else is an illusion to them. You are one of those folks. C-ya around. Plenty of smart people on freeps to talk to.

You are both so right. The pandering politicians of both parties are extremely skilled in the art of duping the general public.

After everything we've all seen and heard, during 8 years of Clinton, you'd think it would be harder for a politician to con us this way. Sadly, it seems that it's as easy as it ever was.
