I really think we should give thought to that and ask ourselves what right does somebody who came into our country illegally. who has been here maybe for a number of years. expect to receive this benefit. where we say: OK. we are just going to give up. we are not going to make you go home. we will let you stay. you can have amnesty. By the way. you start receiving the earnedincome tax credit of $2.000. How much sense does that make? I dont think that is good public policy. It raises questions about how serious we are about defining our immigration system in a way that works. that has bright lines. and carries out a logical policy. But I understand that people are determined to see that this goes forward. Now.
