1. Those who are angry consider any amnesty, for even 200,000 people (and those numbers are if ALL apply and are accepted) a betrayal, because somehow they expected that President Bush would do NOTHING to help these people, even though Bush said so repeatedly.

Actually, I was expecting the President to protect the borders and uphold our laws, or something like that.

When he doesn't, it's disappointing.

In any case, I'm pleased that you're in the "Amnesty Non-Denial" column.

To refresh your memory, my discussions were about BLANKET amesty. I am not certain that this would be called a true amnesty, since there are so many qualifications involved.

However, if you want to claim victory on this point, be my guest.
