I've read a lot of the books by Corrie Ten Boom, who hid Jews in Holland during WW2. Sometimes to do so, she had to lie to the authorities.
In this case, I don't think Bush is acting on Christian Principles, but obtaining cheap labor for his buddies. While I'm not a Bibical Scholar, I know both New and Old Testaments say a lot about "Crapth Not on ye nations poor, for thou willist offend me and I will go a smothing and such".
Agreed. This is just a payoff to the agribusinesses that contributed to his last election campaign. It lets them off the hook for all past wrongdoing in knowingly hiring illegals. It's really a Trojan Horse amnesty for them.
I cannot wait for Bush's job approval ratings to come out. Even among those who support the way the war in Iraq is going, there must be some serious disapproval of this amnesty, and his rating will plumment to a level not seen in any previous Presidency.
Maybe then, Jorge will get the message...
WWII and this are two different situation and I assume that your talking about our poor not illegal poor.
