JPod thinks it a stretch to compare the likely administration of an illegal-alien amnesty to the reckless approvals of so many subprime mortgages. Would that it were so. A few years back two INS employees were found to have been meeting their quota and reducing the backlog of applications by shredding tens of thousands of documents — but they were prosecuted for that, whereas no one is ever criticized for approving too many applications, so that’s how it’s pretty much guaranteed to go.

Actually, maybe the best dramatization of how amnesty adjudication would work was performed by Lucy in the chocolate factory.
