Speech #1090132411

I find it a little bit amusing and quite telling. the extreme reaction that erupted from some of the Senators at my suggestion that this is amnesty. It sort of reminds me of the famous line "Thou doth protest too much." I offered a textbook definition of amnesty. and I heard no rebuttal to the fact that these provisions match that definition. Here is an even better definition from "Blacks Law Dictionary." which specifically cites as an example: The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act provided amnesty for undocumented aliens already present in the country. What is the comparison between that 1986 act and this bill? The comparison is laid out. and it is very striking.
