“Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again” — President Bush

In 1986, Congress granted amnesty to illegal immigrants who had already been in the country for some time, and Congress promised to clamp down on future illegal immigration. In 2006, Congress plans to put illegal aliens on a path to citizenship and increase border enforcement in order to clamp down on future immigration. Is anyone else getting an odd sense of deja vu?

Look, Congress, we already granted amnesty in 1986. You promised to stop illegal immigration after that. Instead, we have 12 million new illegal immigrants. You’re not going to fool the American public again. The time for amnesty is past. Do what you promised to do 20 years ago. Stop the illegal immigrants.
