LOL, I realize you're one of the more colorful contributors here on FR and you've probably posted 3 or 4 more times than anyone else on this thread (as usual), but you shouldn't think my response to JimRob's "Bush Hater's Poll" was about you :-)

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 :-)

P.S. I consider you a gentleman and one of the more civil Bush Bashers here on FR, but you're not the reason for my post #831 :-) I didn't even include you in the "To" column. of #831 :-)

This ongoing outrage against the 245i proposal is a self-pleasurement. If 245i fails, the immigration reality is improved not one iota. The unacceptable Status Quo is wholly unaffected. They accomplish nothing of purpose or progress.

A vision of pursuing, identifying and deporting the millions of "Illegals" to whom they deny the Amnesty is a pure and laughable fantasy. Concluding that an immigrant group that is illegally resident, undocumented and unaccountable is preferable to the same group who has been legalized, identified, vetted and legitimized is sheer lunacy. They're not serious in their efforts. They won't acknowlede the real engine of massive illegal immigration from Mexico - the security of County welfare and entitlement largesse. Posting a link to 245i 8 times a day over 8 months hasn't changed anything. They influence no-one. They achieve nothing. Just self-indulgent Jibba Jabba.

Thanks, I didn't take your post personally, I wanted to assist you in correcting a persistent misunderstanding...

It's not an assumption, it's a simple fact.
Section 245(i) is an aspect of the Clinton Legacy that President Bush has attempted to embrace.
Back in the 245(i) debates, Bush defenders kept claiming that it wasn't an Amnesty, it only applied to paperwork snafus, etc., that those saying so hadn't read the legislation...
so I posted it.
The Bush defenders were wrong.
That's not just my opinion, go read the link and the INS's own interpretation.
