The Amnestyville Horror - The destruction of the American electorate as we know it

Daniel Greenfield - Wake up an amnesty supporter in the middle of a muggy Washington D.C. night and the first words out of his mouth will be, “It’s not amnesty.”
 
And he’s right. It’s not. The 1986 amnesty or the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which neither reformed nor controlled immigration, took in some 3 million illegal aliens. The new amnesty or Comprehensive Immigration Reform covers 12 million illegal aliens.

If 1986’s euphemistic amnesty was a mere amnesty, this is a super-amnesty four times as big as the last one. If the 1986 amnesty were a state, by population size it would only be Utah. If the 2013 Son of Amnesty were ranked as a state it would be Illinois; the 5^th largest state in America.

That’s why supporters of this more comprehensive amnesty avoid the A-word the way that Dracula avoids the beach.

To keep the A-word from destroying their amnesty campaign before it even began, they coined “de facto Amnesty” to describe the current state of affairs in which millions of illegal aliens aren’t deported, but aren’t granted citizenship either.    More
