I think it would be a mistake to start backing up on half of the law. the half that was supported by the American people. General blanket amnesty was never supported by the American people. I would doubt a third of the American people supported it. but it was accepted as part of the process of getting what most people did support and that is enforcement of the law in terms of hiring illegal aliens. If the law is wrong let us change the law. and I am in favor of doing that. especially in the area of agriculture. But let us not start backing up on the timetable when half the law is in effect. when amnesty is being granted.
