December 31. 1984. the Christian Science Monitor: "Blanket Amnesty: Contrary to U.S. Interests." Of course it is contrary to U.S. interests. * * * amnesty encourages the prospect of repeated amnesties. As a result. it would encourage additional illegal immigration of lowskilled workers. indeed. illegal immigration increased sharply after President Carter first proposed amnesty in 1977. Second. perhaps several million family members of the illegal aliens given amnesty might seek to migrate to the US. A third consideration is that with amnesty. many of the adult male illegal aliens now in the United States would be less inclined to return to their home countries * * * Quoting again from the Christian Science Monitor: Granting amnesty is discriminatory. It discriminates against other deserving people who wish to migrate to the US but do not do so illegally because they view it as either distasteful or too costly. "Public policy"-and we do set public policy herequote from the Christian Science Monitor: Public policy should not reward those who begin their lives in the United States by violating its laws! In conclusion. this bill.
