Because they only serve to make a bad situation worse.

Now we're getting somewhere. How do you think they make the situation worse? (I know what I think they do. I want to hear your take on them.)

Let me ask you (although I'm sure you won't answer the question), was Reagan's grant of amnesty good or bad?

Bad. Very bad. When you reward lawbreakers it emboldens them and others around them to not only commit the same crime, but also commit new crimes because they know that the punishment is either lenient or non-existent.

That is what makes the Partnership for Prosperity, New Alliance Task Force and Social Security Totalization Agreement with Mexico so much worse than the actions of Bush's predecessors. Not only does Bush want to give 20+ million (vs. Reagan's 500,000) illegal aliens amnesty, but he gave them access to US bank accounts as well as auto and home loans and wants to allow illegals to receive US Social Security benefits for the time they've worked here illegally.

I defy you to show how any previous presidents actions are as equally bad as what Bush has done.

Yes, I know. Reagan gave amnesty to 500,000 illegals. But show me where he changed banking laws to cater to those illegals so they could buy US property. Show me the agreement Reagan signed that would allow those illegals to collect US Social Security benefits for themselves and their families back home in Mexico.

This doesn't even get into the dramatic drop in interior enforcement and employer sanctions that have occurred while Bush has been in office. Bush then insults our intelligence by trying to tell us that reduced border apprehensions equals increased enforcement. Talk about think-speak.

And people like you defend him.

Good grief, you are so thick! I was refering to the question you had previously asked numerous times, sometimes multiple times in the same post. I would have thought you were intelligent enough to know that since I've already mentioned it. Get a grip.

I say you've been dancing around the questions. Prove me wrong. Please point out where you responded to my questions about the Partnership for Prosperity, New Alliance Task Force and Social Security Totalization Agreement with Mexico.

You don't have to quote it, just respond with the post number.

Bad. Very bad.

Okay, then we are in agreement that former Presidents share in the blame for the situation we have today.

So. . .why the heck are you arguing with me?
