And may I just add it is not GWB words that need trusting (as he clearly says what he means). It is yours that can't be trusted. You asserted GWB wants amnesty. He most certainly does not.
Reality is amnesty was what R. Reagan gave in 1985/6 in which one minute millions were illegal and the next minute they were legal. This is not at all what GWB is proposing. He is proposing a program / policy for those who are here illegally now...that they MUST go through - Which encompasses everything from a complete background check, to assimilation requirements, fines, etc, etc (that is not amnesty).
Again, you are unwilling to be intellectually honest on this subject. That speaks volumes about you...not the fine man in GWB you are questioning.
It is clearly his objective, although he lies about it with liberal euphemisms, and mis-defining what Amnesty is. Don't misunderestimate him here.
He is for Regularizing, letting them stay on as defacto U.S. nationals. And allowing them to continue to work, etc. Then putting them onto some form of path to citizenship. Non-"automatic" or not...that is Amnesty.
