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.
Were you against Carter's "amnesty" for draft-dodgers and deserters? What if part of this "amnesty" requires everyone to get in line AFTER those already seeking legal status the right way?
I concur. Proof for me shouldn't matter. The propensity to ignore or blatantly break our laws should be evidence enough that papering over a past infraction will only lead to another - yet, this time the prize is bigger - it's citizenship, so there'll be more of an effort to defraud.
