“Yeah, you are in so much better shape with amnesty on the way!”
I never said that I wanted them. Only that we failed to take advantage of our majority in so many ways. But of course amnesty will be signed by a Republican president and voted for by many Republicans.
The only thing the Republicans can do at this point is to stuff that bill with pork for their respective districts and states. That's what being a minority deals you.
As for the president, if you were not aware of his position on immigration before he took office in 2000, then you simply were not paying attention. The only thing we had going for us was a Republican majority in both Houses. Without that, we get amnesty. It was a bad poker hand to let the Republicans become the minority.
