However, I've read the transcript of President Bush's proposal and it includes amnesty for and application for citizenship by illegal aliens, which is flat-out not right.

It is amazing how many people know "facts" that are just not true. Bush's proposal does not provide amnesty (anyone here illegally has to pay a fine before they can apply for a guest worker visa), and does give any preference to illegals for a green card or for citizenship. Anyone here on a guest worker visa would still have to apply for a green card and get in line behind everyone else, and the time spent here illegally could not be counted toward time for citizenship.

and does give any preference to illegals for a green card or for citizenship.

Mis-type - should read "does NOT give any preference to illegals for a green card or for citizenship. "

They don't care. That's the bottom line.

It's all about injury in desperate search for insult.

Read it again.

Prez Bush's very words:

"This program will offer legal status, as temporary workers, to the millions of undocumented men and women now employed in the United States,"

...

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