So if you look back at the El Salvadorans that Clinton and Bush allowed in. based on civic conflict and real civil war down that way. if you look at the Persian Gulf evacuees. if you look at themy eyesight is getting so bad. I need to get glasses. If you look at the Chinese. after Tiananmen Square. if you were to look at Soviet refugees. if you look at the Ethiopians. the Lithuanians. even going back to the war orphans at the time of Eisenhower. there has been a remarkable case when amnesties were judged okay by this Congress. okay by the American people. okay by the President because of scale. 32.000 people. on average. per amnesty. for 53 years. Again. this Presidents amnesty dwarfs the total amnesties of all Presidents over the last 53 years. and. for that reason. the American public has reacted as it has saying this just doesnt fit. The other thing that I think is interesting. going back to the notion of sheer scale and the ways in which this particular amnesty that the President has proposed is at odds with every other for the last 53 years. is. if you were to add up the cumulative amnesties of this President. you would be in the top 20 States in the United States of America5.5 million people.
