For whatever it’s worth, I do think the guy believes he’s doing a decent thing by wanting to grant amnesty to people who have been here for a while–and believes that that is not amnesty. If it were crass politics he’s probably do something that’s well, more popular.

That said, I was just listening to him explain how people who have come here illegally and have been workng hard, planted roots are “God-fearing.” Where’s the ACLU? Illegal atheists will be deported?
