Being able to see through the euphemisms is the key.

Here's how the two sentences would read if they were more honestly presented:

"This program will offer legal status, as temporary workers, to the millions of illegal aliens now employed in the United States,"

Entering our country illegally is wrong. Criminals who do that should not be rewarded for their criminal actions by being granted "temporary worker" status.

and

"Some illegal aliens will make the decision to pursue American citizenship. Those who make this choice will be allowed to apply in the normal way."

Again, criminals who enter our country illegally, thus displaying a disrespect for our laws, should not be rewarded by being allowed to apply for citizenship.


I'm not sure how much clearer it can get.

You still refuse to address the unequivocal statements by Bush that you deliberately omitted, preferring instead to focus on your own interpretation of what he said. That is your right, but it is a very dishonest technique, and reveals more about you than it does about the president.
