''I'm not saying make them citizens,'' Ridge said. ``They violated our laws to get here. You don't reward that kind of conduct.''

Ridge: Give illegal entrants 'status'

Okay, Tom, let me see if I understand the logical syllogism here:

1. You don't reward illegal conduct.
2. Giving illegal entrants "status" is a reward.
3. Therefore, we should reward illegal conduct by giving illegal entrants status.

Hey, Tom, I have one for you:

1. Black is black.
2. White is white.
3. Therefore, black is white.

Perhaps someone will propose legislation to give amnesty to honest perjuriers and human cannibals who are vegetarians.
