People in America do not like amnesty. They were able to take it and embody it in the legislation. even though they did not like it. I remember the arguments throughout the years were: How can you possibly reward people who are here illegally and give them a legal statusnot citizenship for we were never giving anybody citizenshipwe were giving them temporary resident alien status or permanent residence alien status. and how can you do that when millions of people are standing in line under our legal immigration system and they cannot come in? It is a good question. I said. well. you know. there is a reason why we are doing it.
