Not forgotten by me for sure.
It was a one time amnesty with conditions...those conditions were that we would make a concerted effort to control the borders.....this country did not do that. Second condition was that an tough empoyer verification program would be implemented.
His idea was a good one, but he trusted folks so much....the left has tried hard to NOT patrol the borders and surely did not want illegals to have to verify anything..they dont want them to have to verify to VOTE, for gosh sake.
Not all the lefts fault by the way, we have not done what was intended by his act to patrol and secure the borders.
These were the stated purposes but you just forgot to mention them, an I might add that you make assumptions about people all the time...like ONLY Republicans are against this bill, etc.
So once again, you just forget to add these little small details that can change meanings !
