"Its a good thing that the Senate Bill is not an amnesty bill then"
"Give me a break. At least Reagan was man enough to admit that his bill was an amnesty bill, and look at where that got us. The Bush/McCain/Kennedy bill is amnesty, period. Perhaps the Pence bill might be reasonable, but the Senate bill has bleeding heart liberal written all over it."
The Senate bill is *better* than amnesty. Amnesty means they dont get deported ... but we decided to give 'em tax breaks, welfare/EITC, citizenship, and tuition discounts at college.
I dont know if its self-delusion or an act of forced loyalty to keep parrotting the hollow and false claims of the pro-amnesty-that-wont-admit-its-amnesty leading RINOs. Either way, anyone using that line instantly achieves zero credibility - whether its McHagel, or the imitating freepers on board.
Call it a plea deal, a preference, or even affirmative action. Americans have negative views of those words too so I don't gain anything debate wise on that point. However, an Amnesty is a full pardon and forgiveness. That is not whats happening here. I guess my problem is that I view the word "Amnesty" is very factually incorrect as applied to this situation.
