I was not really active in politics when the last amnesty went through, so I don't know how much fraud there was. I have no problem learning from any of those past mistakes and making sure those who apply this time can prove they were in the U.S. prior to 9/11. What kind of "proof" would satisfy you?
Satisfying me isn't the issue. There is no viable proof that these illegals can offer, something that our "elected representatives" in Washing DC know fully well.
But even that point is not the true issue here. Any amnesty, under any other name or pretense, is still rewarding those who have blatantly broken the law. It is a clear sign that one's nation is gravely ill when those at the hightest levels of authority ignore the law with impunity.
