To reward lawbreakers with the gift of amnesty would only encourage further law breaking and is patently unfair to those immigrants striving to live here legally.

Right. Just like giving first time druggies probation encourages everybody to go out and become addicts.

And is an offense to those who try to stay straight.

These arguments are so worn out.

What do you think this legislation is? If I understand correctly, if an illegal immigrant came here before January 2007, you can immediately be given seek legal status without having to fear immediate deportation. Of O am wrong please correct me.

amnesty: A general pardon granted by a government, especially for political offenses. [American Heritage Dictionary]

What's the current penalty for being in the country illegally? It's being removed from the country and waiting in line with the rest of law-abiding foreigners. Actually, they ought to be barred from entering for the crime they committed.

Anything that reduces the penalty is amnesty.

The other more important word is injustice. To all those who waited in line properly - followed the law - this law spits in their eye. These illegals should be bumped to the back of the line if not disqualified from the line for their crime.

Of course, many predicted in 1986 that we would need another amnesty for those who decided it was a question of when, not if, it would come...go masturbate by yourself, please.

Your argument is tiresome, decietful and trite.

The amnesty to thousands of illegal aliens, not too many years ago, so encouraged those thinking of criminally invading the USA, that this new amnesty is aimed at 20 million illegal aliens, as well as allowing each of them to legally bring in 25 family members each. This amnesty will make native born American citizens and nationalized legal immigrant citizens, a minority in our own country.

Your B.S. smells worse the longer you toss it around. Just look at the number of illegals now versus when Reagan signed amnesty.
