I haven't twisted your words, you chose to believe Administration spin on Section 245(i) rather than the INS' own interpretation.
Your words...
The all or nothing crowd wants him "necklaced" for "supposedly" thinking of amnesty (A NYT's divide and Conquer plot)
#831
George W Bush has spoken on various occasions of "normalizing" and "regularizing" "undocumented" workers. Many trial ballons have come out of his White House regarding this, especially last year.
If it was all the New York Times (talk about tinfoil), why did the trial balloons stop after the defeat of Bush's attempted extension of Section 245(i)? That would have been the perfect time for any "NYT divide and Conquer plot."
As far as the extension of 245i and your assumption that it equals "Amnesty" is just another attempt to blame President Bush for the problems he has inherited. At this time I can not agree with your assumptions :-)

No, calling Bush responsible for the Section 245(i) extension that ended 4/30/2001 would be blaming him for what he had inherited, since he had nothing to do with that extension. And I understand that the mess with Illegals didn't happen overnight, so I don't expect an immediate solution.
In the meantime, I do expect the President not to make the problem worse by pushing for further Amnesties. When he does, and he did, who else is responsible?
If you say Bush is responsible, then I'll retract my statement at #1190, where I said, "Apparently, not even the President's own actions can sway your faith."
