5 Myths About White House Immigration Reform
James Carafano /
1. There will be lots of positive measures in the bill that conservatives will support.
That does not matter. A massive amnesty will overwhelm all the positive affects of visa reforms, added security workplace enforcement , and even establishing temporary worker programs. That is exactly what happened when the same approach was tried in 1986.
2. The first thing we have to do is deal with the illegal population that is already here.

3. Legalization is not amnesty.
