You keep saying amnesty--amnesty means total forgiveness and no strings attached. The people that are upset about amnesty keep saying amnesty and really are not giving the whole immigration concept a good listening to. Before anything is written you are already yapping about RINO and voting for another party, etc.

If those writing it say it is not amnesty, and if amnesty means forgiveness without any special procedures then what Bush is presenting is not amnesty. I suspect then you would have preferred Ron Kirk a flaming liberal democrat over Cornyn who walks and talks like a conservative but disagrees with your version of immigration.

Not in the political arena. Bush's plan will grant legal status to illegal aliens, and that is amnesty. "To suggest otherwise," as the National Review put it, "is an insult to our intelligence."
