Quite the contrary. Reagan's amnesty failed. Bush's guest worker rumblings and Senate RINO amnesty proposals have significantly increase the movement of illegals into this country.
The ones being irrational are those who refuse to learn from history and fail to adhere to the common-sense notion that if you reward illegal behavior, you will get a lot more of it.
Yeah...that's right...I am the one claiming that Mexafornia is going to exist.
I am the one lacking common sense in thinking that maybe, just maybe, Bush hasnt advocated amnesty...do a little research...that is a wild claim, and a perpetuated myth on these threads by those looking to bash the administration on immigration. That maybe, DHS has increased funding to border control...that maybe Bush has made overtures to Vicente Fox, that there are things being done.
But, my point, the current situation is being fueled by political opportunists with little or no real solution to the problem (or worse wild hair brained ideas), only an agenda to remove the Republican leadership...sick of that krap.
I could go on...but my blood pressure can't take the intellectually dishonest people who routinely post on the threads about "doomsday" illegal immigration woes.
