But you have claimed that Bush would grant amnesty to millions, while claiming that it isn't a "blanket amnesty", right?
Yes.
Take the common definition that "blanket amnesty" means Amnesty for all Illegals...
If there are, say, 10 million Illegals in the country, and an Amnesty is granted to 5 million, then Bush could honestly say, "There was no BLANKET Amnesty."
The corollary of of this, given this common definition, is that when Bush promises something like "I don't favor a blanket amnesty," he isn't promising much.
Let President Bush be bold, and say that he opposes all Amnesty, under any name.
I'd trust that promise.
In the past, your posts have accused Bush of seeking a "blanket amnesty" for illegal immigrants.
No. Never. I've been accused frequently of having said that, but I've studiously pointed out it's not true.
Nor do I now believe President Bush seeks a "blanket amnesty."

I never said the 245(i) modifications would result in millions of Amnesties. Never.
Others have, but I've been consistently going with the 200,000 number. I believe on one post I mentioned estimates of 200,000 and 350,000. But I've stayed with the smaller number.

Guess you'll need other goalposts.
