When Bush goes to Mexico on Thursday to meet with President Vicente Fox, he brings with him the gift of a House vote in favor of amnesty for tens of thousands of Fox's countrymen living here illegally.

*Sigh* A demonstrable lie.

A demonstrable fact...

Section 245 of the Act allows an alien to apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) while in the United States if certain conditions are met. The alien must have been inspected and admitted or paroled, be eligible for an immigrant visa and admissible for permanent residence, and, with some exceptions, have maintained lawful nonimmigrant status. The alien must also not have engaged in unauthorized employment. Section 245(i) of the Act allows an alien to apply to adjust status under section 245 notwithstanding the fact that he or she entered without inspection, overstayed, or worked without authorization.

Last week's 245(i) extension was specifically about illegals.

Letting Illegals stay = Amnesty for those Illegals.

Please demonstrate.

The White House and INS will tell you that 200,000+ missed out on 245(i) last time. 200,000 is ten's of thousands.

Now if you ask me, or anyone else inside INS, we will tell you this number is low. The INS has always under estimated the number of applicants. I'd bet the number will be around 350,000.
