So, anyone who comes to the US, follows the laws to become a legal resident is thereby offered amnesty? Is that your stance?

Because as I read the original legislation - and the commentary on both sides about it - it seems that it only provides residency for those who register, who pay their fines, and file their taxes. You don’t do that, you’re out.

So is that amnesty? As opposed to that actually granted by President Reagan? In your opinion President Reagan must have been a lousy President because he blatantly and fully supported even worse - blanket “you’re here, it’s OK nothing is required” amnesty for millions.

But that’s OK, you want to obfuscate and ridicule and not debate on actual facts. Usually the retreat of those finding themselve bereft of logical support.

No, no... do keep right on going, by all means. By your own bizarrely illogical standards, then: a President Hillary Clinton, say, could raise taxes by another 70, maybe even 80%... but, just so long as she didn't actually use the words "tax increase," it wouldn't really BE a tax increase, after all. What marvelous schoolyard sophistry!

You know... typically, it's only in the most backwards of the remotest, most isolated jungle tribes that words are magically considered to be genuinely one and the same with concrete reality. Sometimes, "ridicule" is not only richly merited: it's both inevitable and mandatory.
