Does this empty promise of the amnesty/deportation trade-off sound familiar? Why, yes, yes it does. Let me boil it down to fundamentals: Bush-Kennedy amnesty is the J. Wellington Wimpy plan: “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” Amnesty is the hamburger. Enforcement is the payment that will never come. I’ve reported this reality over and over and over and over and over again. All the leaked memos and graphs and analysis in the world, however, cannot sum up the deportation/enforcement/border security sham–and the mess at DHS–more clearly than the reality expressed by an illegal alien quoted by the Associated Press today: “If I get deported and need to cross the border again, that’s not a problem,” he said. It was true in 1986. It’s as true as ever in 2007. Wimpy will get his amnesty burgers and the Beltway fools who keep deluding themselves about the false promise of immigration enforcement will be left empty-handed. Again.
