I know and I answered it. Obviously, you don't understand the nuances of the issue and how language is used to disguise or fool people on a pro-amnesty position. McCain and Obama are against amnesty and for secure borders.

I can tell you that the immigration community is up in arms and shocked by Palin's endorsement of the Amnesty King. Palin has made a huge mistake. And she has yet to come clean on amnesty, i.e., change her position as stated in the Univision interview. The Humphrey and Larson interviews fail to answer the question as to how she proposes to deal with the 12 to 20 million illegals in this country. She was quite specific in the Univision interview, i.e., give them amnesty.

Words have meanings. The Democrats and the mainstream media have hijacked the language surrounding the immigration issue to the point that we had Michael Chertoff, the Secretary of Homeland Security and our nation’s top immigration official at the time, testifying before Congress using the term “undocumented workers” to describe illegal aliens.

John McCain and Barack Obama studiously avoided the term “amnesty” to describe their comprehensive immigration reform plans and despite the evidence, baldly declared that it was not an amnesty. Instead, they used such euphemisms as “getting to the back of the line,” “an earned path to citizenship,” and “coming out of the shadows.” The Democrats and pro-amnesty crowd know full well that the American people are against amnesty, hence the avoidance of the “A” word. Republicans need to develop their own immigration lexicon that cuts through this Orwellian use of language.
