Amnesty won't harm our homeland defense. It will harm the rule of law. It is an unnecessary compromise. Personally I think that it might be a sign of how worried the Bush team is about the upcoming elections. They are doing a lot of bad things now, just to attract 1 or 2 percent of the rat vote. (which could be a big deal in an election.) Rush talked about this yesterday. He said Bush should use his high approval ratings to explain the conservative position to the voters. Instead he is trying to steal rat issues.
If he wants to push Amnesty, let him do so in broad daylight.
I think he is.
Your point about the Rule of Law is well-taken, but what I meant was that trying to sneak Amnesty into this bill has delayed its passage. If it's passage is important for Homeland Defense, then the Trojan Horse is hurting it.
But someone else, I forget now who (maybe Joe Hadenuf), has made the point that Illegals are the sea in which terrorist cels can swim.
Or, to use another metaphor, if finding terrorists is like finding needles in haystacks, whats wrong with smaller piles?
